INTRODUcTION
Functional Overview
A buffer is used to polish metal, wood and plastic
workpieces.
the primary components of a buffer are the
motor, control box, shafts, arbor nuts, spacers,
and buffing wheels.
A buffer is typically set up by removing the arbor
nut, sliding the appropriate number of spacers on
a shaft with a wheel flange and a buffing wheel
or wheels. the assembly is secured with an addi-
tional wheel flange, spacer, and an arbor nut.
standing to the side of the buffer, the opera-
tor turns the motor ON, causing the spindle to
move the buffing wheel clockwise, as viewed
from the front left side. When the wheel reaches
full speed, the polishing compound is placed on
the rotating face of the wheel. While holding the
workpiece with both hands, the operator eases it
into the lower front face of the wheel, then moves
the workpiece back and forth on the edge of the
wheel. the downward force of the rotating wheel,
combined with the compound, removes scratches
and sanding marks from the workpiece, resulting
in a polished surface.
the buffer can be mounted to a workbench
or the optional Model g4789 stand. optional
wheel flanges provide additional rigidity to the
buffing wheels and help prolong their lifespan.
though buffing wheels are not provided with your
machine, a wide variety wheel sizes and materi-
als, and buffing compounds can be purchased
separately.
