SAFETY NOTICE Continued
WARNING: Use proper extension cord. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, be sure it is rated for the voltage and current rating of your product. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Table 1 shows the correct wire size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the AWG gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
WARNING: Dust created during buffing, grinding, sawing, power sanding, drilling, and other activities
may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm.
WARNING: Keep children and visitors away. Remove starter keys turn off master switches. Padlock
equipment or work area when not in use.
WARNING: Never leave buffer running unattended. Always turn power off after use.
Caution: Don’t force buffer. It will do the job better and safer at the feed rate for which it was
designed.
Caution: Use right tool. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
Caution: Maintain buffer with care. Keep buffer clean for best and safest performance.
Always use safety glasses with side shields (or full face shield) when operating
grinder. Do not use ordinary eyeglasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty.
Unsuitable accessories or attachments added to this buffer may introduce hazards.
Baldor accessories and attachments are specifically designed to be used with the buffer.
Accessories or attachments obtained from another source may cause hazards. Consult the
manufacturer before use.
Tool rests are not recommended to be used with a buffer. There is the possibility of the
work piece becoming caught in the cloth wheel and pulling the operator’s hand into the
machine or hurling the work piece away from the machine in a hazardous manner, or both.
Use soft cloth wheels only on buffer. When hard (grinding) wheels or wire wheels are
used on a buffer, the operator or nearby personnel will not be protected against wheel failure
which can result in serious injury.
Use soft cloth wheels marked for safe operations at or over the maximum RPM rating
on this buffer. Using a wheel rated at a lower RPM than the machine is rated can cause a
hazardous condition and result in short wheel life.
Buffer is not designed to be used with hard wheels or wire wheels. Bench grinders and
grinder−buffers having wheel guards are available for such use and protect the operator from
wheel breakage. As wheel breakage is an extremely hazardous condition, under no
circumstances should a buffer be used with hard wheels or wire wheels.
This buffer is supplied without guards. Operator safety may require guards and other
suitable safety devices or procedures. These may be specified in safety codes and should be
provided for each polishing application. These are are neither provided by Baldor Electric
Company nor are the responsibility of Baldor Electric Company. Safety devices are the
responsibility of the end user.
If machine should be damaged, discontinue using the buffer until the repairs are made.
