SAFETY

machinery may cause cancer, birth defects,
or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of
dust hazards associated with each workpiece
material, and always wear a NIOSH-approved
respirator to reduce your risk.

Always wear hearing
protection when operating or observing
loud machinery. Extended exposure to this
noise without hearing protection can cause
permanent hearing loss.

Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys,
wrenches, or any other tools on machine.
Always verify removal before starting!

Only use machine for its
intended purpose—never make modifications
without prior approval from Woodstock
International. Modifying machine or using
it differently than intended will void the
warranty and may result in malfunction or
mechanical failure that leads to serious
personal injury or death!

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.

Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work
area. Stop using machine if they become a
distraction.

machine for any condition that may affect
safe operation. Immediately repair or replace
damaged or mis-adjusted parts before
operating machine.

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnecting

cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the
cord may damage the wires inside, resulting
in a short. Do not handle cord/plug with wet
hands. Avoid cord damage by keeping it away

Additional Safety for Buffing Systems

Serious injury or death can occur from impact injuries. Rotating buffing wheels can easily remove
skin, or entanglement/amputation injuries can occur from being caught in moving parts or
in-running pinch points. To minimize risk of getting hurt or killed, anyone operating machine MUST
completely heed hazards and warnings below.

SAFETY

HAND/WHEEL CONTACT. Never purposely touch

the moving buffing wheel or shaft. Take care
to keep fingers away from buffing wheel
during operations. If the workpiece is small
or difficult to hold, use a workpiece holding
fixture. Abrasive accessories can quickly
remove large amounts of skin!

AVOID WORKPIECE GRAB. Firmly support the

workpiece against the rotation direction of
the buffing wheel. Otherwise, the buffing
wheel could grab the workpiece and pull your
hands into the moving wheel.

AVOID KICKBACK. Avoid kickback by buffing in

accordance with directional arrows. Always
buff on the downward side of the wheel—pay
close attention to the direction of wheel
rotation to avoid placing the workpiece
against the upward side of the buffing wheel.
Avoid buffing with excessive force.

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.

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.

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 smaller buffer.

DISCONNECT POWER WHEN SERVICING.

Disconnect the machine from power and
allow the wheel to come to a complete stop
before service, maintenance, or adjustments.
Avoid pulling cord-connected machinery
from the cord—instead, grasp the plug when
disconnecting it from power.

AVOID ENTANGLEMENT. Tie back long hair and

remove any loose-fitting clothing or jewelry
that could be caught up in the buffing wheel
or other moving machine parts. Avoid wearing
gloves as they may get caught in the buffing
wheel and cause entanglement injuries.

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.

CORRECT ACCESSORIES AND USE. Never install

a grinding wheel on this buffer. It is only
designed for buffing and polishing. Never
exceed the maximum speed listed on each
buffing/polishing wheel.

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.

BE AWARE OF DUST ALLERGIES. Be aware that

certain woods may cause an allergic reaction
in people and animals, especially when fine
dust is created by buffing . Make sure you
know what type of wood dust you will be
exposed to in case there is a possibility of an
allergic reaction.
