- For Your Own Safety -
Read owner's manual before operating. Always
wear eye protection while using the
Bench Polisher
or other power tools.
Before using your
Bench Polisher
, please read all
safety instructions. They are for your protection and should always be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to
the tool.
Not a toy.
Safety Instructions
ALWAYS WEAR PROPER EYE AND FACE PROTECTION.
Safety glasses
or face shields should be worn whenever you
operate any power tool to prevent serious eye or face injuries. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry and be sure to tie back long
hair.
Never operate any accessory at speeds above its maximum speed rating. Only accessories rated for 7,500 RPM or more should
be used with the
Bench Polisher
. Always determine the manufacturer's speed rating before using accessories. Safety
requirements for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels are contained in ANSI Standards B7.1-1978 which are available
from ANSI, 1430 Broadway, New York, New York 10018.
Never use or continue to use any accessory which appears to be damaged, loose, vibrating, or out of balance. Inspect each
accessory for cracks or flaws before using it.
Always insert the shank or arbor of an accessory or mandrel into the collet (or collet holder chuck or chuck arbor) as far as
possible in order to provide proper support. Tighten the collet or chuck securely.
Never use excessive side pressures which may tend to bend or break the shank or arbor or an accessory. Let the speed of the
accessory do the work.
Do not stall the motor by jamming or using excessive pressure on the polishing wheel, buff, wheel, or accessory. This can result
in damage to the motor.
Assembly Instructions
Each
Bench Polisher
with 1/4" diameter shaft comes with the following: standard attachments Tapered Spindle (left hand),
Tapered Spindle (right hand), two medium grit abrasive wheels, and two replacement motor brushes. These are precision made
spindles suitable for speeds up to 7,5000 RPM. Similar spindles and mandrels supplied for slower speed polishing motors often
do not run as true which can cause vibration and be a potential hazard. Their use is not recommended with this
bench polisher
.
Mounting Base: The base should be bolted or screwed down to a solid work bench or table to prevent movement while pressure is
applied to a buff or wheel on the lathe. There are four mounting holes in the base for this purpose.
Attach the spindles or mandrels by sliding them onto the motor shaft until there is a 1/8" space between the motor housing and
inside edge of the spindle or mandrel. Be sure that the two set screws line up with the flat on the motor shaft. Tighten both
screws securely.
Plug in the motor and run polisher at slow speed without a buff (or wheel) to see that the spindles (or mandrel) on the polisher are
running true.
Never use a buff, brush, abrasive wheel, or any other accessory that is not rated for at least 7,5000 RPM and never use one that
appears to wobble or vibrate. It could damage the polisher and cause injury to you. Buffs over 4" in diameter should not be used
on the
Bench Polisher
. Never use a grinding wheel over 2" diameter.
