SAFETY
Additional Safety for Buffing Assemblies
READ and understand this
entire instruction manual
before using this machine.
Serious personal injury
may occur if safety and
operational information is
not understood and fol-
lowed. DO NOT risk your
safety by not reading!
USE this and other machinery with caution
and respect. Always consider safety first,
as it applies to your individual working
conditions. No list of safety guidelines can
be complete—every shop environment is
different. Failure to follow guidelines could
result in serious personal injury, damage
to equipment or poor work results.
1. Always wear a face shield and/or safety goggles.
2. Secure this buffer firmly to a benchtop or stand.
3. Never use a grinding wheel on this machine. It is strictly designed for buffing and polishing only.
4. Do not stand directly in front of buffing accessories when turning the machine on.
5. Do not jam work against the buffing wheel. Slowly ease the work into the buffing wheel.
6. Allow the wheel to attain full speed before introducing the workpiece.
7. Do not allow your hands to come into contact with the buffing wheel. Abrasive accessories are
designed to remove material very quickly.
8. Never perform any adjustment or maintenance procedure while the motor is plugged in.
9. Never leave the machine running unattended.
10. Never attempt to buff small parts. If you cannot hold small parts securely, do not buff them with
this machine. Secure them with clamps or similar jigs.
11. Buffing can produce large amounts of dust. Be sure to wear the appropriate dust mask to prevent
the breathing of harmful particles. Be sure to follow the recommended use of the specific dust
mask you are using.
12. Be aware of maximum speeds for the buffing wheels. Never exceed the maximum speed listed
on each buffing/polishing wheel.
