Disabling Switch

The switch can be disabled by removing the key,
as shown below. Disabling the switch in this man-
ner can prevent unauthorized operation of the
machine, which is important if it is not kept inside
an access-restricted building or in a location
where children may be present.
IMPORTANT: Disabling the switch only restricts
its function. It is not a substitute for disconnecting
machine from power when adjusting or servicing.
Figure 20. Disabling switch by removing key.
Children or untrained people can be
seriously injured by this machine. This
risk increases with unsupervised operation.
To help prevent unsupervised operation,
always disable switch before leaving
machine unattended. Make sure to place
key in a well-hidden or secure location!

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.
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 com-
pound 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 the floor.
To begin buffing, slowly feed workpiece into
buffing wheel workpiece contact zone (see
Figure 21). 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.
