machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,
or any other tools on machine. Always verify
removal before starting!
USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use
this tool for its intended purpose—do not force
it or an attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed. Never make unapproved modifications—modifying tool or using it differently than
intended may result in malfunction or mechanical
failure that can lead to personal injury or death!
AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions
that make workpiece control difficult or increase
the risk of accidental injury.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction.
GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris. Make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE
operating machine.
FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.
It will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.
NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury
may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.
STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement during operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is
stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for recommended accessories. Using improper accessories will increase the risk of serious injury.
UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the
risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop before

Additional Safety for Buffers
Entanglement/amputation injuries can occur from being caught in moving parts or in-running
pinch points. Buffing wheel can easily remove skin. To minimize risk of getting hurt or killed,
anyone operating machine MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.
WORKPIECE SELECTION. Always inspect the
condition of your workpiece. DO NOT buff pieces
with loose knots, large splinters, sharp edges, and
DO NOT buff knives, cable, chain or other potentially dangerous objects that may be grabbed by
the buffing wheel and thrown at the operator.
EYE/FACE/LUNG PROTECTION. Always wear
eye protection or a face shield and a heavy
leather apron when operating the buffer. Wear a
dust mask to protect your lungs from microscopic
particulates. Particulates may cause allergies or
long-term respiratory health problems.
MOUNTING TO BENCH/STAND. An unsecured
buffer may become dangerously out of control
during operation. Make sure buffer is FIRMLY
secured to a bench/stand before use.
WORKPIECE CONTROL. If you cannot hold
small workpieces securely, do not buff them with
this machine. Secure them with clamps or similar
jigs or use a different buffer.
AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. Becoming entangled in moving parts can cause severe injury or
death. Keep all guards and covers in place; DO
NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, or jewelry; and
tie back long hair.
OPERATOR POSITION. Do not stand directly in
front of the buffer wheel when turning the machine
ON, or when buffing. Do not buff material at the
rear of the machine.
HAND/WHEEL CONTACT. Do not allow your
hands to come into contact with the buffing wheel.
Abrasive accessories can remove skin fast. Keep
a firm grip on the workpiece and position your
hands at a safe distance away when buffing.
Avoid wearing gloves as they may get caught in
the buffing wheel and cause entanglement injuries.
CORRECT ACCESSORIES AND USE. The buffer is only designed for buffing and polishing.
Never exceed the maximum speed listed on each
buffing/polishing wheel.
WORKPIECE FEED. Allow the wheel to reach
full speed, then slowly ease the workpiece into
the buffing wheel, holding it in front of and
slightly below the wheel center. Do not place
the workpiece on the top or sides of the buffing
wheel and do not place an edge or corner of
the workpiece against the buffing wheel, or jam
it against the wheel. The workpiece may eject
toward the operator or be torn from the operator’s
hands, causing serious personal injury.
Like all machinery there is potential danger
when operating this machine. Accidents are
frequently caused by lack of familiarity or
failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to decrease the
risk of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious
personal injury may occur.
Model T32003 (Mfd. Since 02/20)
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY
Before installing the machine, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.
or equipment damage
may occur if machine is
not properly grounded
and connected to power
The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.
The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.
If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid overloading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the specified circuit requirements.
For your own safety and protection of
Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to
a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will
be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will
be connected to a shared circuit where multiple
machines may be running at the same time, consult an electrician or qualified service personnel to
ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.
A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power supply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.
We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine.
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must
be in good condition and contain a ground wire
and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must
meet the following size requirements:
Grounding & Plug Requirements

Buffing
Below are some quick tips for getting the most
out of your buffing wheels. Remember, there is no
substitute for experience. Learning how to hold
the workpiece, how much pressure to apply, how
to move the workpiece against the wheel, and
how much compound to use requires a certain
amount of trial-and-error.
• Thoroughly clean all parts you plan to buff.
Dirt, oil, rust, paint, or other film must be
removed chemically or with water. Make sure
to dry off parts with a rag after cleaning.
• Keep buffing wheels raked out before each
use and when buildup gets heavy during use.
Raking means to clean buffing wheels with
a wheel rake to remove built-up compounds
and metal particles. ALWAYS use light pressure when raking wheels!
• Do not mix two different compounds on same
wheel. For best results, use a separate wheel
for each compound.
• Always use an upward stroke with heavy to
moderate pressure for cutting. Use a downward stroke with light pressure for polishing
(see Figure 13).
• Apply buffing compounds in small amounts
at a time. Apply paste-type compounds with
a wand or directly to the part. For wax-based
polishing stick-type compounds, press compound on the wheel for a couple of seconds
while machine is running. Avoid using too
much compound.
• Put your workpiece under wheel when you
are loading compound on the buffing wheel.
This way, you will catch any compound that
would normally be wasted on floor.
• To begin buffing, slowly feed workpiece into
buffing wheel workpiece contact zone (see
Figure12). Contacting workpiece on areas
outside of the correct area may flip workpiece
out of your hands. Hold workpiece tightly at
all times while buffing. Placing one hand near
contact point will give you better control.

• Wear safety equipment when buffing. If polisher forces workpiece out of your hand, be
prepared for it to come flying at you! Wear
safety glasses or a face shield and a heavy
leather apron. Also, wear a dust mask to protect your lungs from microscopic particulate
that will be flying off wheel.

Use caution when polishing plated metals;
there is a chance that thinly-plated materials
could be damaged. Light pressure is all that
is needed for quality work.

Selecting
Installing/Removing
Buffing Wheels
Buffing wheels are available for most types of
metals and for different stages in the buffing process. Below are pictures and descriptions of common wheel types:
Loose Muslin
Soft feather-edged
muslin stitched together near the center
leaves the outer edge
to provide a wide angle,
fine polishing surface.
Perfect for polishing
stainless steel, chrome,
gold or silver.
Laminated Sisal
Designed for rough
cutting, sisal works
well with various steels,
copper, aluminum,
and brass to remove
scratches and prepare
the piece for polishing.
Buffing Wheel
The tapered spindle sleeves on each end of the
spindle make it easy to swap out different buffing
wheels for different projects. Their tapered design
also allows for a range of bore thicknesses, especially useful for polishing wheels that may break
down after a lot of polishing use. If the bore of a
wheel wears and becomes larger, simply install it
farther onto the spindle sleeve.
To install/remove buffing wheel:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove buffing wheels by holding shaft sta-
tionary and turning left wheel clockwise off of
shaft and right wheel counterclockwise.
3. Thread a buffing wheel onto either tapered
spindle sleeve (see Figure14).
Spiral Sewn
Consist of layers of
100% unbleached cotton sheeting that are
spiral sewn
Works well for initial
polish on brass, stainless steel, aluminum,
bronze and cast iron.

Selecting Buffing
Compounds
Most colors of abrasives have similar applications, but always check with the manufacturer of
your particular compound.
Loading Compound
Select a buffing compound and buffing wheel that
is suitable for the workpiece and each sequence
of the buffing or polishing operation.
To load compound on wheels:
Grizzly offers the following compounds:
Red Rouge — Made for fine polishing on brass
and gold. Provides an excellent shine when used
with the loose muslin buffing wheel.
Green (Extra Fine) — Great for extra-fine polishing on most metals to bring out that mirror finish. Works best with loose muslin and spiral
sewn buffing wheels.
White — Great for ivory, plastic and resins when
used successively with the soft spiral sewn and
soft airway buffing wheels.
Black — Designed to be used with sisal and airway hard buffing 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, aluminum and zinc alloy.
Green (Fine) — Slightly more abrasive than the
extra-fine green, this green compound is great
for a medium-to-fine polish with most softer
metals.

Replacing
Motor Brushes
This machine is equipped with a universal motor
that uses two carbon brushes to transmit electrical current inside the motor.
These brushes are considered to be regular
"wear items" or "consumables" that will need to
be replaced during the life of the motor. The frequency of required replacement is related to how
much the motor is used and how hard it is pushed.
Replace both carbon brushes at the same time
when the motor no longer reaches full power, or
when the brushes measure less than
