The Model W1843 is capable of both buffing and sanding
operations. IT IS NOT A GRINDER. The absence of grinding
wheel guards and eye shields prohibits the use of this
machine as a grinder.
Note: Use caution 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.
