motor. Armature assembly is dynamically balanced for smooth
operation. Motor housing is compact so long pieces of work can
press against both buffing wheels without touching the motor
frame.

SAFETY RULES
WARNING: For your own safety, read operating instructions man-
ual before operating tool.
BE PREPARED FOR JOB
• Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neck-
ties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry which may get caught in
moving parts of machine.
• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.
• Wear safety glasses complying with United States ANSI Z87.1.
Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are
NOT safety glasses.
• Wear face mask or dust mask if operation is dusty.
• Be alert and think clearly. Never operate power tools when
tired, intoxicated or when taking medications that cause
drowsiness.
PREPARE WORK AREA FOR JOB
• Keep work area clean. Cluttered work areas and work benches
invite accidents.
• Do not use power tools in dangerous environments. Do not use
power tools in damp or wet locations. Do not expose power
tools to rain.
• Work area should be properly lighted.
• Proper electrical plug should be plugged directly into properly
grounded, three-prong receptacle.
• Extension cords should have a grounding prong and the three
wires of the extension cord should be of the correct gauge.
• Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.
• Keep children out of the workplace. Make workshop childproof.
Use padlocks, master switches or remove switch keys to prevent any unintentional use of power tools.
TOOL SHOULD BE MAINTAINED
• Always unplug tool prior to inspection.
• Consult manual for specific maintaining and adjusting proce-
dures.
• Keep tool clean for safest operation.
• Remove adjusting tools. Form habit of checking to see that
adjusting tools are removed before turning machine on.
• Keep all parts in working order. Check to determine that the
guard or other parts will operate properly and perform their
intended function.
• Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any
other condition that may affect a tool’s operation.
• A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced. Do not perform makeshift repairs. (Use
the parts list to order replacement parts.)
KNOW HOW TO USE TOOL
• Use right tool for job. Do not force tool or attachment to do a
job for which it was not designed.
• Disconnect tool from power when changing buffing wheels.
• Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the switch is in the off
position before plugging in.
• Do not force tool. It will work most efficiently at the rate for
which it was designed.
• Keep hands away from moving parts and buffing surfaces.
• Never leave a tool running unattended. Turn the power off and
do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.
• Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if tool is tipped
over.
• Know your tool. Learn the tool’s operation, application and spe-
cific limitations.
• Use recommended accessories. Understand and obey all safety
instructions supplied with accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
• Do not over tighten wheel nut. Replace cracked wheel immedi-
ately. Use only flanges supplied with the buffer.
• Adjust distance between wheel and tool rest to maintain
1
/16” o r
less gap.
• Handle the workpiece correctly. Whenever possible, use tool
rest to support workpiece during buffing operation. Turn tool
off if it jams.
• Always use guards and eyeshields.
• Clean buffing dust from beneath tool frequently.

ASSEMBLY
Refer to Figure 4.
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt assembly if parts are missing. Use
this manual to order replacement parts.
• Remove plastic protective sleeves from armature shaft (Ref. No. 9).
• Slide spacer (Ref. No. 3) onto armature shaft.
• Slide inner wheel flange (Ref. No. 2) onto armature shaft.
• Slide in buffing wheel on to the armature shaft and butt it
against the inner wheel flange. (Buffing wheels are not included with buffer).
• Slide in the outer wheel flange and butt the flat side of the
flange against the buffing wheel.
• Tighten hex nut (Ref. No. 1) on to the armature shaft. Make sure
the buffing wheel is firmly held in place and the hex nut is snug
against the outer wheel flange. Use additional spacers (not supplied) if required.
• Repeat above steps to install buffing wheel on the other side of
the buffer.
INSTALLATION
MOUNT BUFFER
• Mount buffer to a solid horizontal surface (hardware not pro-
vided). If mounted to metal pedestal, align mounting holes
with corresponding holes in pedestal. Insert a ¼-20 x 1¼” hex
head bolt with flat washer through base of buffer. From bottom
of pedestal, place a ¼” flat washer and ¼”-20 hex nut onto the
bolt. Tighten only until space between buffer base and pedestal
is 1/8”. Using second nut on each bolt, jam tighten against the
first to prevent loosening by vibration.
• To mount buffer to wooden bench top, use ¼ x 1¼” wood
screws with flat washers beneath heads. Tighten screws until
space between buffer base and bench top is 1/8”.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Improper connection of equipment grounding con-
ductor can result in the risk of electrical shock. Equipment should
be grounded while in use to protect operator from electrical shock.
• Check with a qualified electrician if grounding instructions are
not understood or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
• This buffer is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord
rated at 300V and a 3-prong, grounding type plug (See Figure
1) for your protection against shock hazards.
• Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a properly
installed and grounded 3- prong grounding-type receptacle
(See Figure 1).
• Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner. In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electrical shock.
WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug
when installing or removing from outlet.
• Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Do not modify plug provided. If it will not fit in outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• Inspect tool cords periodically, and, if damaged, have repaired
by an authorized service facility.
• Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the grounding
wire. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to
a live terminal.
• Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle installed
in accordance with National Electric Code and local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING:This work should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
• A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (See
Figure 2) is available for connecting plugs to a two pole outlet
if it is properly grounded.
• Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter unless
permitted by local and national codes and ordinances.
(A 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is not permitted in
Canada.) Where permitted, the rigid green tab or terminal on
the side of the adapter must be securely connected to a permanent electrical ground such as a properly grounded water
pipe, a properly grounded outlet box or a properly grounded
wire system.
• Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet boxes are not
properly grounded. To ensure proper ground, grounding means
must be tested by a qualified electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS
• The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in voltage
and loss of power.
• Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size to carry
the current and maintain adequate voltage.
• Running the unit on voltages which are not within ±10% of the
specified voltage may cause overheating and motor burnout.
• Use the table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.)
extension cord.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong grounding
type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool plug.
• If the extension cord is worn, cut or damaged in any way,
replace it immediately.
