Specifications
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (see
Figure 2) is available for connecting plugs to a two pole outlet
if it is properly grounded.
• Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter unless
permitted by local and national codes and ordinances.
(A 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is not permitted in
Canada.) Where permitted, the rigid green tab or terminal on
the side of the adapter must be securely connected to a
permanent electrical ground such as a properly grounded
water pipe, a properly grounded outlet box or a properly
grounded wire system.
• Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet boxes are
not properly grounded. To ensure proper ground, grounding
means must be tested by a qualified electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS
• The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in volt-
age and loss of power.
• Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size to
carry the current and maintain adequate voltage.
• Use the table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.)
extension cord.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong grounding
type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool
plug.
• If the extension cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way,
replace it immediately.

OPERATION
DESCRIPTION
The 6
“
Buffer is equipped with totally enclosed 3/4HP motor
and single-speed motor. Armature assembly is dynamically
balanced for smooth operation. Motor housing is compact
so long pieces of work can press against both wheels
without touching the motor frame.
WARNING: Always wear safety glasses complying with
United States ANSI Z87.1 before commencing power tool
operation. Safety glasses are available through your Sears
catalog.
• Load buffing compound, appropriate for your workpiece,
onto the wheel.
• Carefully guide workpiece into wheel.
• Keep a steady, moderate pressure on the work piece and
keep it moving at an even pace for smooth buffing.
• Pressing too hard overheats the motor and prematurely
wears down the buffing wheels.
• The buffing wheel should rotate into object being polished.
