6. Insure that the Model 1000 is located in an area that provides safe access to the
machine such that operators have clear and unobstructed working space. The work place
should be free from floor obstructions, trip points, and other faults that may reduce
operator safety.
7. Insure that the Model 1000 AC power source is properly sized for wire, and properly
fused. As a guide the following electrical service will reliably operate your 1.5 HP
Model 1000 (you should consult a competent electrician):
Service Minimum wire size Maximum fuse size
120VAC/1PH 12AWG copper 20 Ampere fast
220VAC/1PH 12AWG copper 10 Ampere fast
220VAC/3PH 12AWG copper 7 Ampere fast
440VAC/3PH 12AWG copper 3 Ampere fast
8. All three phase electrical installations should include a magnetic starter. Magnetic
starters protect motors from “double phasing”, overheating, etc. thereby reducing the risk
of damage to the equipment and/or fire hazard to your facility.
9. Variable speed 1.5 HP/1PH motors include line fuses that are built into the rear of the
base that supports the motor. 120VAC/1PH variable speed motors use 25 ampere fast
blow fuses, 220VAC/1PH variable speed motors use 15 ampere fast blow fuses. Fixed
speed motors should have proper fuses used in the customer’s supply circuitry (see 7
above). NEVER use fuses that are of greater amperage than listed. To do so may create a
fire hazard, or equipment damage.
Functional operating instructions for the Model 1000 buffer
The Model 1000 was fully tested and verified to comply with requirements prior to
shipping from the factory. No adjustments should be necessary. You should perform the
following steps:
1. With the machine securely bolted to its table, pedestal, and/or floor point connect the
AC power to its source.
2. Insure the buffing wheels are firmly tightened to the spindle. A buffing wheel running
in reverse rotation can unscrew from the spindle, creating a serious personnel safety
hazard. Insure that the Model 1000 spindle operates CCW when viewed from the
right side of the machine. Note that the left spindle has a left-hand thread that assures
the left buffing wheel will not spin off of the machine during correct rotation of the
spindle. The right spindle has a right-hand thread.
3. Your model 1000 has been shipped to you with 2 cap plugs on each end of the spindle
it is very important that once you have selected the wheel you will be using on your
machine that you cut the plug to the size of the exposed thread. Failure to do so may
expose the operator to risk of injury should clothing or loose objects become snagged
on the exposed area.
4. Engage the motor by placing the ON/OFF switch to ON. The wheel should rotate
smoothly
in a CCW direction with the front face of the buffing wheel moving toward the
floor. If either of these conditions are not met turn the machine OFF immediately.
