WARNING:
Always wear safety glasses complying with
United States ANSI Z87.1 before commencing
power tool
operation. Safety glasses are available through your Sears
catalog.
° Load buffing compound,
appropriate for your workpiece,
onto the wheel.
• Carefully guide workpiece into wheel.
• Keep a steady, moderate pressure on the work piece and
keep it moving at an even pace for smooth buffing.
• Pressing too hard overheats the motor and prematurely
wears down the buffing wheels.
• The buffing wheel should rotate into object being polished.
° Replacement wheels must have a minimum rated speed of
3450 RPM.
• Maximum wheel diameter for Model No. 226250 is 6".
° Disconnect unit from power source before replacing buffing
wheels or before performing any maintenance work.
° The threads on the right side of the buffer (facing unit) are
right hand; threads on the left side are left hand. Hold the
wheels firmly to loosen the hex nut.
• Make sure hex nuts are tight and snug against the outer
wheel flange prior to restarting buffer.
DESCRIPTION
Craftsman 6" Buffer is equipped with a totally enclosed, fan
cooled motor. Armature assembly is dynamically balanced for
smooth operation. Motor housing is compact so long pieces of
work can press against both wheels without touching the
motor frame.
