Operation
WARNING: Do not operate this buffer until you are sure that you are completely familiar with the safe operation of the buffer, all accessories and safety equipment. Improper use can lead to severe injury. This manual defines proper use of this equipment. Before using this equipment for any other use, please consult Baldor. Contact Baldor if you do not understand any procedure or operation concerning this buffer or this manual.
WARNING: | When starting a grinder for the first time, or after installing a replacement grinding wheel, | |||||||||
| it is most important that the operator stand aside for at least one minute of rotation at full | |||||||||
| speed. This is the correct practice since debris in the wheel may be thrown out during the | |||||||||
| first moments the machine is in operation. |
|
|
|
|
|
| |||
| Always use safety glasses with side shields (or full face shield) when operating buffer. Also | |||||||||
| use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact | |||||||||
| resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses. |
|
|
| ||||||
| Check that the On−Off switch is in the “OFF” position, and the shaft moves freely. When | |||||||||
| starting buffer for the first time or after installing replacement wheel, it is most important that | |||||||||
| the operator stand aside for at least one minute. Debris in the wheel may be thrown out | |||||||||
| during the first moments the machine is in operation. After connecting buffer to power | |||||||||
| source, turn switch on. Buffer should come up to speed smoothly and without vibration. If | |||||||||
| buffer does not, shut buffer off immediately and determine reason. |
|
|
| ||||||
| Always keep hands at least 2 inches from wheels. If the work piece is small, use a holder to | |||||||||
| keep hands 2 inches or more from wheels. |
|
|
| ||||||
| Use extreme care when polishing irregularly−shaped or small objects as they can be caught | |||||||||
| in the wheel and hurled outward with damaging force. |
|
|
| ||||||
| Always polish from the front of the machine. If the work piece is caught by the wheel, the | |||||||||
| wheel will normally spin the piece downward. |
|
|
| ||||||
| Buff on face (periphery) of the wheel only. |
|
|
|
|
|
| |||
Maintenance | Replace worn buffing wheel as necessary. After a wheel is replaced, the arbor nut should be | |||||||||
| tightened just enough to prevent the wheel slipping on the arbor and the vinyl arbor nut cover | |||||||||
| must be in place. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
| Motor and pulley bearings are lubricated for life and do not require additional lubrication. | |||||||||
| Wipe off buffing dust to prevent accumulation. |
|
|
| ||||||
| Replace damaged parts immediately to maintain safety of machine. |
