Additional Safety for Buffers
CORRECT ACCESSORIES AND USE. Never
install a grinding wheel on buffing side of machine.
Buffer is only designed for buffing and polishing.
Never exceed maximum speed listed on each
buffing/polishing wheel.
HAND/WHEEL CONTACT. DO NOT allow hands
to contact buffing wheel. Abrasive accessories
can remove skin fast. Keep firm grip on workpiece
and keep hands at a safe distance away when
buffing. If workpiece is small or difficult to hold,
use a workpiece holding fixture.
WORKPIECE SELECTION. Always inspect con-
dition of workpiece. DO NOT buff pieces with
loose knots, large splinters, sharp edges, and DO
NOT buff knives, cable, chain or other potentially
dangerous objects that may be grabbed by buff-
ing wheel and thrown at operator.
WORKPIECE FEED. Allow wheel to reach full
speed, then slowly ease workpiece into wheel,
holding it in front of and slightly below wheel
center. Do not place workpiece on top or sides
of wheel and do not place edge or corner of
workpiece against wheel, or jam it against wheel.
Workpiece may eject toward operator or be torn
from hands, causing serious personal injury.
AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. Becoming entan-
gled in moving parts can cause severe injury or
death. Keep all guards and covers in place; DO
NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, or jewelry; and
tie back long hair.
EYE, FACE, & LUNG PROTECTION. Always
wear eye protection or face shield and heavy
leather apron when operating buffer. Wear dust
mask to protect lungs from microscopic par-
ticulates as they may cause allergies or long-term
respiratory health problems.
MOUNTING TO BENCH/STAND. An unsecured
machine may become dangerously out of control
during operation. FIRMLY secure machine to
bench/stand before use.
WORKPIECE CONTROL. If you cannot hold
small workpieces securely, do not buff them with
this machine. Secure workpiece with clamps or
jigs or use different machine.
AVOIDING KICKBACK. Avoid kickback by buff-
ing in accordance with wheel rotation. Always buff
on downward side of wheel and keep wheel cover
in place. Avoid buffing with excessive force.
DISCONNECT POWER WHEN SERVICING.
Disconnect machine from power and allow wheel
to come to complete stop before service, main-
tenance, or adjustments. Avoid pulling cord-con-
nected machinery from cord–instead, grasp plug
when disconnecting from power.
OPERATOR POSITION. DO NOT stand directly
in front of
buffer wheel when turning machine ON,
or when buffing. Do not buff material at rear of
machine.
Entanglement/amputation injuries can occur from being caught in moving parts or in-running
pinch points. Rotating buffing wheel can easily remove skin. To minimize risk of getting hurt or
killed, anyone operating machine MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.
