-10- G1061/G1061Z Buffing System
Accessory Removal
To remove the buffing or sanding attachments,
ensure that the switch is pushed in and the power
cord is disconnected. With buffing wheels mount-
ed, hold the shaft with one hand while loosening
the nut with a wrench. If both shafts are con-
cealed by sanding drums, use a wrench to loosen
the desired nut while holding onto the sanding
drum. If the drum slips while loosening the nut,
hold onto the opposite sanding drum. Remember,
the left-hand nut and shaft have left-handed
threads.
Figure 4 shows the loosening/tightening proce-
dure for buffing wheels. Figure 5 shows the loos-
ening/tightening procedure for sanding drums.
4. Inflate the drum using a bicycle pump or air
compressor. The maximum air pressure is 10
psi. DO NOT OVER-INFLATE! We recom-
mend against filling the drum with an air com-
pressor. When sanding drums have been
installed, the assembly should look similar to
Figure 3.
5. Pull out on the switch to turn the machine on
and firmly grasp the workpiece to be sanded.
6. With light and even pressure against the
direction of rotation, move the workpiece
back and forth on the sanding drum. Sand in
the direction of the wood grain. Always wear
safety glasses and a dust mask.

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!
