Always position workpiece edges
so that the wheel is rotating
"off the edge" (Figs 4 and 5).
NEVER feed an edge "into" the
wheel (Fig 6). Feeding an edge
into a rotating wheel is extremely
dangerous and will quickly and
violently kick the object back at
the operator causing injury and
damage.
DO NOT OVERLOAD!
The Buff Motor is designed to
operate with minimal pressure
against Buff Wheel and the best
buffing results will always be
accomplished by letting the
rotating wheel do the work.
Attempts to quickly buff objects
with excessive pressure will
generate excessive heat which
can damage the work piece, use
excessive compound and rapidly
wear buff wheels.
A good rule of thumb is to only
apply the same amount of
pressure to a rotating buff wheel
as would be required to shut a
drawer. If any deflection of the
wheel is noticed, the pressure
is too great.
When buffing plated objects, always use caution not to buff through the plating.
