Cleaning

Cleaning the Model T32253/T32254 is relatively
easy. Vacuum excess debris and wipe off the
remaining dust with a dry cloth. Wipe down spin-
dle with a non-staining lubricant after cleaning.
To clean buffing wheels, use a buffing wheel rake
to remove dried compound. Guide the rake across
the spinning buffing wheel using light pressure, as
