Operating instructions for the Model 1200 buffer
The Model 1200 buffer is a double spindle buffer. It is designed to use cotton, nylon,
flap, wire, and other buffing and/or de-burring wheels. Your Model 1200 may be fixed
speed (single or three phase), or variable speed single phase depending on the
configuration ordered. The Model 1200 has an integrated dust collection adapter that will
connect to a dust collection system with a recommended minimum capacity of 500
CFPM.
Stone, vitreous, or other type grinding wheels must not be used on the Model 1200. For
maximum effectiveness, and operator safety use wheels manufactured by well-respected
manufacturers.
• Use wheels that are the proper size and type for your machine. Wheels up to
12 inches in diameter and up to 2 inches in width are permitted on the Model
1200.
• Use properly sized wheel adapters to mount your wheels on the ¾ inch
spindles. Failure to use the proper bushings and support flanges will
result in poor performance and a possible safety hazard.
• Do not use wheels that are out of balance or untrue. To do so will result in
poor performance and a possible safety hazard.
• Do not use wheels that are old and/or excessively worn.
• Do not operate the buffing wheel in a reverse rotation. The spindle must rotate
CCW when viewed from the right side (opposite of the motor).
• Do not exceed the maximum recommended buffing wheel speed (see the
manufacture’s instructions), or the 2200 RPM maximum spindle speed for
which your Model 1200 is designed to operate, which ever is less.
• Do not use your Model 1200 with the factory-supplied guards removed, or
with the wheel guard door(s) open.
Prior to operating the Model 1200 please take time to do the following:
1. Insure that you have received all of the items that you ordered. Compare the packing
slip with your purchase order, and of course with the physical items received.
2. Verify that there is no obvious shipping damage. If shipping damage is discovered
notify the freight carrier of your intention to file a freight damage claim; they will assist
you.
