Use and Care Manual

OPERATION
9
Hold the workpiece tightly at all times while bufng. One hand near the contact point will give you better
control.
Keep bufng wheels raked out before each use and when build-up gets heavy during use. “Raking” means
to clean the bufng wheels with a wheel rake to remove build up compounds and metal particles. An old
rough-cut saw blade or a large hacksaw blade will also work as an alternative to a wheel rake. ALWAYS
use light pressure when raking wheels.
DO NOT mix two different compounds on the same wheel. for best results, use a separate wheel for each
compund.
Use an upward stroke with heavy to moderate pressure cutting. Use a downward stroke with light pressure
for polishing. See Fig. 5
LUBRICATION
Shielded and pre-lubricated ball bearings require no lubrication for the life of the bearings. All bearings are
standard sizes and replacements can be found from our parts department or a bearing supply store.
