15. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on. 1.0 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 16. Keep safety guards in place at all times when the machine is in use. If removed for maintenance purposes, use extreme caution and replace the guards immediately after completion of maintenance. WARNING – To reduce risk of injury: 17. Check damaged parts.
2. Use proper extension cord. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 2 (see sect. 6.2) shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

5.0 Setup and assembly 5.5 Buffing wheels 1. Disconnect buffer from power source. 5.1 Unpacking 2. Install spacers onto each end of arbor as needed for the width of the wheels used. 3. Check the flanges to make sure they are clean and flat. Wheel flanges that are not flat will cause the wheel to wobble. 4. Install inner flange, buffing wheel, and outer flange. 5. Install the right-hand thread nut on right end of arbor; turn clockwise to tighten.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in D, Figure 6-1. A grounding plug may be installed, that looks like the plug illustrated in D; or the grinder may be “hard-wired” to a panel, provided there is a disconnect for the operator. It is recommended that the buffer be connected to a minimum 15-amp circuit with circuit breaker or fuse. If using fuses, they should be time-delay fuses marked “D”. Local codes take precedence over recommen-dations. 6.
7.2 General procedure 7.0 Operation Buffing wheels vary according to material and structure, and range from aggressive wheels that even out high spots and remove surface defects (“cutting”), to finer wheels that bring out the brilliant luster of the metal surface (“coloring”). The buffing wheel surface may be straight or biased (cut at an angle).
8.2 Wheel balancing If required, a shim made of paper or card stock may be placed between flange and wheel side. With the buffer unplugged from the power source, and arbor nuts snugged down, rotate wheels by hand and observe their motion. NOTE: Slight wobble may still exist at spin-up and spin-down, but will not affect normal speed operation. A buffing wheel has proper balance when: 1. 2. 8.
9.0 Troubleshooting IBG-SSB series Buffers Table 3 * WARNING: Some corrections may require a qualified electrician. Symptom Possible Cause Correction * Motor will not start. Not connected to power source. Motor cord cut or abraded. Verify that plug is properly inserted into receptacle. Replace with new cord. Wheels cannot rotate because of obstruction. Plug on cord is faulty. Unplug and turn wheel by hand to ensure free movement. Restart. Replace with new plug. Low line voltage.
Symptom Possible Cause Correction * Excessive vibration. Wheel(s) out of balance; wobbling or not rotating concentric to arbor. Improper mounting. Rake the wheel or replace it. Adjust wobble by rotating flange as needed. Secure machine firmly to bench or stand. 10.0 Optional accessories These accessory items, purchased separately, are available for your JET buffer. Contact your dealer to order, or call JET at the phone number on the cover.
