Mounting Holes

Before attempting to use this buffer, it must be properly mounted to a workbench or grinding stand.

Note: Bench buffers vibrate. Buffer movement during high-speed rotation may cause injury to the

operator or damage to the workpiece. Mount the buffer securely to a sturdy workbench or grinding

stand.

1. Position the buffer on the workbench. Mark the workbench through the two mounting holes

located in the buffer base.

2. Drill holes in the workbench at the marks. Using two long bolts, washers, lock-washers, and

nuts, as shown (not supplied), secure the buffer to the workbench.

Removing/Installing Buffer Wheels

You will need to use a shifting spanner or socket wrench (not supplied) to loosen the wheel lock nut

(#1 & #2, see parts diagram). If you are removing the left wheel nut (#1) you will need to rotate the nut

clockwise. If you are removing the right wheel nut (#2) you will need to rotate the nut counter-

clockwise. Use one hand to lock the wheel in place and the other to loosen the nut. Remove the nut,

outside clamp (#3), and old wheel.

Fit the outside clamp (#3) and nut (#1 & #2) back to the spindle. Use one hand to lock the wheel in

place and the other to tighten the nut.

Note: If you are tightening the left wheel nut, tighten counter-clockwise until the right wheel begins to

turn. If you are tightening the right wheel nut, tighten clockwise until the left wheel begins to turn.

Ensure the new wheel is secured and rotates freely before proceeding.

Switch on the buffer and ensure that the wheels are running in alignment before operating.

Before Each Use

⚠WARNING

 ALWAYS check for damaged or worn out parts before using the buffer. Broken parts will affect the

buffer’s operation. Replace or repair damaged or worn parts immediately.
