KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations, or
expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work area.
MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table A
shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other
jewellery which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.

conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and
caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
VIBRATION SAFETY
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent
physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should rst be examined by a doctor and
then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused or worsened from
use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous
system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any medical or
physical symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue ngers), seek medical
advice as soon as possible.
2. DO NOT smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and ngers, increasing the
risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice between different processes.
4. Include vibration-free periods each day of work. Let the tool do the work.
5. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in this manual. If any abnormal vibration occurs, stop
use immediately.

Make sure the workbench on which you plan to mount the buffer is sturdy enough to hold the weight of the
machine. The workbench should have a level surface and be heavy, or attached to the oor, so it will not
move during operation. To mount the buffer:
MOUNTING THE BUFFER
1. Pick a spot on the workbench that will allow enough room to move the size of an anticipated workpiece
around the buffer. The operator should make sure they have enough room to move to stand out of the way
of the buffer.
2. Mount the buffer to the workbench with bolts that are long enough to exceed the buffer the thickness of your
workbench and buffer base. Secure the bolts with at washers, a lock washer and a hex nut. (Not included).
3. Mount the buffer in an area with proper lighting and near electrical outlets. Keep power or extension cords
clear of high-trafc areas. Observe local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets or
circuits.
The following section is designed to give instructions on the basic operations of this buffer. It is strongly
recommended that the user also read instructional texts and videos to maximize the potential of the machine.

6
OPERATION
Once mounting is complete and adjustments are done, you are ready to test the machine. before testing,
remove the anges and shaft nuts from the arbor. Facing the machine, the left hand nut has left hand threads
and vise versa on the right hand side.
TEST RUN
Plug in the power and turn on the buffer. Make sure your hand is poised near the switch. The buffer should
run smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange and unusual noises should be investigated
and corrected before further operation of the machine.
BUFFING AND POLISHING
1. Make sure the power cord is unplugged and remove the 5/8” hex nuts at the end of each shaft. facing the
machine, the left-hand shaft has left-handed threads, the right has right-handed threads.
2. Sandwich a bufng wheel between the two wheel anges provided
and slide the assembled onto the shaft. Use only the wheel anges
supplied with this machine. The bufng assembly should look like the
picture below.
3. Tighten the hox nut while holding the shaft with your other hand. The direction of the threads and motor
rotation ensure that the nuts on both sides will not loosen on their own.
4. Plug the buffer into the power source. Select the appropriate stick
of polishing compound for your application. Turn ON the buffer and
apply the compound to the rotating face of the wheel.
5. With both hands, rmly grasp the item to be polished. Lightly and
evenly move the workpiece back and forth on the edge of the bufng
wheel in the grayed area in the gure below.
WHEEL REMOVAL
To remove the bufng wheels, ensure that the switch
is turned OFF and the power cord is unplugged from
the outlet. Hold the shaft with one while loosening the
nut with a wrench.
BUFFING WHEEL SELECTION
Bufng wheels are available for most types of metals and for different stages in the bufng process. The
following pictures describe some of the more common wheel types.

OPERATION
BUFFING COMPOUND SELECTION
Red Rouge - Made for polishing on brass and gold. Provides an excellent shine when used with the loose
muslin bufng wheel.
Green (Extra Fine) - Great for extra-ne polishing on most metals to bring out a mirror nish. Works best with
loose muslin and spiral sewn bufng wheels.
White - Great for ivory, plastics and resins when used successively with the soft spiral sewn and soft airway
bufng wheels.
Black - Designed to be used with the sisal and airway hard bufng wheels, this compound is perfect for the
initial rough cut on stainless steel and iron.
Tripoli - A true middle-of-the-road abrasive. Tripoli provides an excellent medium cut for brass, aluminium
and zinc alloy.
Green (Fine) - Slightly more abrasive than the extra ne green. This green compound is great for medium to
ne polish with softer metals.
BUFFING TIPS
Thoroughly clean all parts that you are planning to buff. Any kind of dirt, oil, rust, paint or other lm must be
removed either chemically or sprayed with water.
Apply bufng compounds in small amounts at a time. While the machine is running, press the compound
in the wheel for a couple seconds. Avoid using too much compound.
Put your workpiece under the wheel when you are loading the compound on the bufng wheel. This way,
you will catch any compound that would normally be wasted on the oor.
Only use the area that is grayed-out in Fig. 4 to do the actual bufng. Contacting the workpiece on areas
outside of the grayed out are may ip the workpiece out of your hands.

OPERATION
9
Hold the workpiece tightly at all times while bufng. One hand near the contact point will give you better
control.
Keep bufng wheels raked out before each use and when build-up gets heavy during use. “Raking” means
to clean the bufng wheels with a wheel rake to remove build up compounds and metal particles. An old
rough-cut saw blade or a large hacksaw blade will also work as an alternative to a wheel rake. ALWAYS
use light pressure when raking wheels.
DO NOT mix two different compounds on the same wheel. for best results, use a separate wheel for each
compund.
Use an upward stroke with heavy to moderate pressure cutting. Use a downward stroke with light pressure
for polishing. See Fig. 5
LUBRICATION
Shielded and pre-lubricated ball bearings require no lubrication for the life of the bearings. All bearings are
standard sizes and replacements can be found from our parts department or a bearing supply store.
