W1681 Buffing Assembly

5.Mount the motor on a 1⁄2" plywood platform below the buffing assembly so that the motor pulley

is directly beneath the arbor pulley. Be sure to orient the motor rotation so the buffing wheels will be rotating downward on the working side of the buffing assembly. Attach the platform to the workbench using a piano hinge, as shown in Figure 5.

6.Install the V-belt on the desired pulleys.

1.Position the buffing assembly on the workbench in the desired position. Mark the four mounting hole locations onto the workbench.

2.Remove the buffing assembly from the workbench and set aside.

3.Using a drill, drill the mounting holes into the workbench.

4.Place the buffing assembly over the mounting holes in the workbench. Using (4) 5⁄16" diameter lag bolts or through bolts, attach the buffing assembly to the workbench, making sure that it is secure.

5.Mount the motor on a 1⁄2" plywood platform and attach to the back of the workbench with a piano hinge as shown in Figure 6. Be sure to orient the motor rotation so the buffing wheels will be rotating downward on the working side of the buffing assembly. Attach the motor so the motor pulley is in-line with the arbor pulley.

6.Install the V-belt on the desired pulleys.

7.We recommend building a plywood guard to cover the V-belt and motor pulley assembly. This will prevent the operator from accidentally coming into contact with the belt during operation.

Be sure to mount the motor so the rotation of the buffing wheels is down- ward on the working side of the assembly. If the buffing wheels rotate upward on the working side, the object being worked on could be pro- pelled up and into the path of the operator causing serious personal injury.
