Additional Safety for Buffers

8. WORKpIEcE SELEcTION. Always inspect
the condition of your workpiece. do not
buff pieces with loose knots, large splinters,
sharp edges, and do not buff knives,
cable, chain or other potentially dangerous
objects that may be grabbed by the buffing
wheel and thrown at the operator.
9. WORKpIEcE FEED. Allow the wheel to
reach full speed, then slowly ease the
workpiece into the buffing wheel, holding
it in front of and slightly below the wheel
center. do not place the workpiece on the
top or sides of the buffing wheel and do not
place an edge or corner of the workpiece
against the buffing wheel, or jam it against
the wheel. the workpiece may eject toward
the operator or be torn from the operator's
hands, causing serious personal injury.
10. hAND/WhEEL cONTAcT. do not allow
your hands to come into contact with the
buffing wheel. Abrasive accessories can
remove skin fast. Keep a firm grip on the
workpiece and position your hands at a
safe distance away when buffing. Avoid
wearing gloves as they may get caught in
the buffing wheel and cause entanglement
injuries.
11. ADJUSTMENTS/MAINTENANcE. Make
sure your buffer is turned OFF, discon-
nected from its power source, and all mov-
ing parts have come to a complete stop
before starting any inspection, adjustment,
or maintenance procedure.
