-19- G1015 Knife Belt Sander/Buffer
For buffing and polishing, Grizzly offers a broad
selection of buffing wheels and polishing com-
pounds that are very well suited for use with the
Model G1015. Please refer to our current catalog.
The auxiliary motor shaft arbor accepts buffing
wheels with a
5
/8'' bore. See Figure 20.
Buffing & Polishing
Pieces of the buffing wheel or buffing com-
pound can be expelled from the machine at
extremely high speeds. Always wear ANSI-
approved safety glasses to avoid injury to
your eyes.
Never introduce a sharp edge of a work-
piece into the direction of rotation.
Always work with the rotation direction.
Workpieces can be pulled from your grasp
if forced into the wheel, or if too much pres-
sure is used while buffing. Serious person-
al injury could result.

6. Firmly grasp the item to be polished with
both hands. Lightly and evenly move the
item across the face of the wheel until the
surface is polished. Use extra care when
polishing plated materials. Over-buffing can
completely remove plating when exposed
to the abrasive wheel for too long.
To buff and polish:
1. Make sure the machine is off and the power
cord is unplugged. Remove the left-handed
nut at the end of the shaft.
2. Sandwich an optional buffing wheel
between two wheel flanges and slide onto
the shaft.
3. Tighten the nut with one hand while holding
the shaft with the other. The left-handed
rotation will ensure that the nut stays tight
during operation.
4. With a brand new buffing wheel it is neces-
sary to charge the wheel with compound
before the first use. Follow the directions
which come with the buffing wheel and
compound.
5. If facing the front of the machine, buffing
and polishing should be done on the bot-
tom of the wheel. See Figure 21.
