Buffing & Polishing
For buffing and polishing, Grizzly offers a broad line of buffing wheels and polishing compounds. Please refer to our current catalog for more infor- mation on these. To buff or polish with the buffer:

2.Sandwich a buffing wheel between the two wheel flanges provided and slide the assem- bly onto the shaft. Use only the wheel flanges supplied with this machine. The buffing assembly should look similar to Figure 2.
5.With both hands, firmly grasp the item to be polished. Lightly and evenly move the work- piece back and forth on the edge of the buff- ing wheel in the grayed in area shown in Figure 3. Be careful when polishing plated metals; there is a chance that the thin plated material may be damaged. A light pressure is all that is needed for quality work.

3.Tighten the hex nut while holding the shaft with your other hand. The direction of the threads and motor rotation ensure that the nuts on both sides will not self loosen.
