G1061/G1061Z Buffing System -9-
Buffing & Polishing
For buffing and polishing, Grizzly offers a broad
line of buffing wheels and polishing compounds.
Please refer to our current catalog. To buff or pol-
ish:
1. Make sure the power cord is unplugged and
remove the 1
3
⁄8" hex nuts at the end of each
shaft. Facing the machine, the left-hand shaft
has left-handed threads. The right-hand shaft
has right-handed threads.
2. Sandwich an optional buffing wheel between
the two wheel flanges provided and slide the
assembly onto the shaft. Use only the wheel
flanges supplied with this machine. The buff-
ing assembly should look similar to Figure 1.

Drum Sanding
To sand using the optional sanding drums:
1. Make sure the power cord is unplugged and
remove the 1
3
⁄8" hex nuts at the end of each
shaft.
2. Slide the sanding drum onto the shaft so that
the valve end is near the end of the shaft and
secure the nut. Wheel flanges are not neces-
sary to use with sanding drums.
3. Slide the sanding sleeve onto the drum.
Ensure that the arrows on the inside of the
sleeve point in the direction of the drum rota-
tion. If there are no arrows inside the sleeve,
slide the sleeve onto the drum so that the
overlap is positioned correctly in relation to
the drum rotation as shown in Figure 2.

Sanding Sleeve
Never sand or buff with the workpiece on
top of the wheel. The workpiece may be
catch the wheel and be thrown at the oper-
ator. Always process the workpiece near
the bottom of the wheel!
5. Start the buffer and with both hands firmly
grasp the item to be polished. Lightly and
evenly move the workpiece back and forth on
the buffing wheel. Be careful when polishing
plated metals; there is a chance that the thin
plated material may be damaged. A light
pressure is all that is needed for quality work.
3. Tighten the hex 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 self loosen.
4. Select the appropriate stick of polishing com-
pound for your application and apply to the
rotating face of the wheel. Always wear safe-
ty glasses because particles of polishing
compound or buffing wheel may fly off.
