ous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words which
are intended to convey the level of importance of the safety messages. The
progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by
themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident
prevention measures.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, MAY result in minor or moderate injury.

Safety Instructions for the 3" Mini Wool Buffer
1.
EYE PROTECTION. Grinding
causes small particles to become
airborne at a high rate of speed.
ALWAYS wear safety glasses
when using this machine.
8.
SIDE GRINDING. Grinding on the
side of wheels can cause them to
break and fly apart—unless the
wheel is rated for side grinding.
9.
TOP GRINDING. Grinding on the
top of wheels greatly increases the
risk of workpiece kickback. Always
grind on the downward part of the
wheel.
2.
MOUNTING TO BENCH/STAND.
An unsecured grinder may become
dangerously out of control during
operation. Make sure grinder is
FIRMLY secured to a bench/stand
before use.
10. HAND TO WHEEL CONTACT.
Grinding wheels can remove a lot
of skin quickly. Keep a firm grip on
the workpiece and position your
hands a safe distance away when
grinding. Avoid wearing gloves as
they may get caught in the grinding
wheel and cause serious entangle-
ment injuries.
3.
WHEEL
SPEED
RATING.
Grinding wheels operated at a
faster speed than rated for may
break or fly apart. Before mounting
a new wheel, be sure the wheel
RPM rating is equal or higher than
the speed of the buffer.
4.
6.
WHEEL FLANGES. Only use the
flanges included with the buffer
when mounting wheels. Other
flanges may not properly secure
the wheel and cause an accident.
11. TOOL REST POSITION. If the tool
rest is too far away from the wheel,
the workpiece may be pulled down,
causing loss of control and pulling
your hand into the grinding wheel.
1
Keep the tool rest within ⁄8" from
the wheel when operating.
STARTING BUFFER. If a grinding
wheel is damaged, it will usually
fly apart shortly after start-up. To
protect yourself, always stand to
the side of the buffer when turning
it ON and allow it to gain full speed
before standing in front of it.
12. CRACKED WHEEL. Cracked
wheels may break and fly apart
during operation. Replace cracked
wheels immediately!
7.
LUNG PROTECTION. Grinding
produces hazardous dust, which
may cause long-term respiratory
problems if breathed. Always wear
a NIOSH approved dust mask or
respirator when grinding.

SECTION 4: OPERATIONS
Test Run
Using this machine produces dust
which may cause eye injuries or
respiratory problems. Protect your-
self by wearing safety glasses and a
respirator during the entire operation
process.
To test run the buffer:
1. Plug the machine into the power
source.
2. Stand to the side of the buffer and turn
the machine ON.
The machine should run smoothly with
little or no vibration or rubbing noises.
Strange or unusual noises should be inves-
tigated and corrected before operating the
machine further. If the machine seems
okay, stay out of the line of rotation of
either wheel and let it run for approximate-
ly one minute to make sure the wheels are
structurally sound and safe to use.
Keep loose clothing
rolled up and out of
the way of machin-
ery and keep hair
pulled back.
If you cannot easily locate the source of
an unusual noise or vibration, contact our
Technical Support department for help.
Disconnect
power
from the machine
when performing any
maintenance, assem-
bly or adjustments.
Failure to do this may
result in serious per-
sonal injury.
All grinding wheels, regardless of
size, have the potential of breaking
apart during operation, causing seri-
ous personal injury or death! Always
stand to the side of the grinder when
turning it ON and wear the proper
safety equipment to protect yourself.

Grinding and Buffing
Wheel Care
The processes for grinding and buffing
with the H7757 are very similar.
Your safety largely depends on the con-
dition of the wheels during grinding or
buffing. A grinding wheel in poor condition
presents the possibility of breaking apart
during rotation and injuring the operator,
while a buffing wheel in poor condition
can tear apart and snag a workpiece,
potentially causing serious entanglement
injuries.
To grind or buff:
1. Ensure all eye shields are in place and
that you are wearing the appropriate
safety gear.
2. With the machine plugged into power,
stand to the side of the machine, and
turn it ON.
To properly care for your wheel, follow
these tips:
•
Always transport, store and handle
wheels with care. Grinding wheels
may be damaged if they are dropped
or if heavy objects are stacked on
them.
3. Allow the machine to run for at least
one full minute to ensure that the
wheels are safe for use, then move to
the front of the machine.
4. Grasp the workpiece tightly and prop-
erly support it on the appropriate tool
rest.
•
•
Select the right wheel for the job. DO
NOT grind or buff material that is not
designed for the wheel.
5. Place the workpiece against the front
surface of the wheel with moderate
pressure, moving it back and forth in a
steady, even motion.
Select the right wheel for the machine.
A machine that rotates at a higher
RPM than the wheel rating may cause
the wheel to break or tear apart.
Note: Using too much pressure will
slow the motor and may damage the
wheel. Using too little pressure will
make the workpiece bounce around
and you will not make good contact
with the wheel.
•
Mount the wheels properly. (See the
Replacing Wheels instructions on
Page 13 for guidance.) Never use a
wheel with the wrong arbor size for the
buffer.
•
•
DO NOT abuse a wheel by jamming
the workpiece into the wheel with
excessive force.
6. After turning the buffer OFF, DO NOT
continue grinding or buffing and
DO NOT manually stop either wheel
with your workpiece!
Learn how to use the buffer and the
grinding and buffing wheels properly.
Ask a trusted person with experience
or consult with your local library to
learn more.

Model H7757 3" Mini Wool Buffer
Grinding Wheel
Dressing
Buffing Wheel Care
Dressing restores the grinding wheel with
a like-new abrasive quality. Whenever the
front surface of the wheel loses its abra-
sive qualities or balance due to particle
loading or polishing of the wheel surface,
then the wheel should be dressed. Use a
commercially-available dressing tool, such
as those available on Page 15.
The process of cleaning buffing
wheels produces airborne dust and
particles may cause eye injuries or
respiratory problems. Protect your-
self by wearing safety glasses and a
respirator during the entire cleaning
process.
Buffing wheels can sometimes become
caked or clogged with buffing compound,
reducing their effectiveness. In order to
clean a buffing wheel, use a commercially-
available buffing rake, such as those avail-
able on Page 15.
To dress the grinding wheel:
1. With the machine plugged into power,
stand to the side of the grinding wheel
turn the machine ON.
2. Allow the machine to run for at least
one full minute to make sure that the
grinding wheel is safe to use, then
move to the front of the machine.
To clean the buffing wheel:
1. With the machine plugged into power,
stand to the side of the grinding wheel
and turn the machine ON.
3. Hold the dressing tool firmly on the tool
rest with both hands and press it lightly
against the front surface of the grind-
ing wheel.
2. Hold the buffing rake firmly on the tool
rest with both hands and press it lightly
against the front surface of the buffing
wheel.
4. Move the dressing tool in a side-to-
side motion, while keeping it even with
the surface of the grinding wheel.
3. Move the buffing rake in a side-to-side
motion, while keeping it even with the
surface of the buffing wheel. As the
buffing wheel is cleaned, old com-
pound will be removed and fresh fibers
exposed.
5. Regularly pull the dressing tool away
from the wheel for visual inspection
and repeat Steps 3 & 4 until the
surface of the wheel appears to be
restored to its normal color and bal-
ance.
4. Regularly pull the buffing rake away
from the wheel for visual inspection
and repeat Steps 3 & 4 until the sur-
face of the wheel appears to cleaned
of compound and restored to its origi-
nal condition and color.

Bond Type refers to the type of bonding
material used to hold the abrasive material.
Most general purpose wheels will have a
“V” indicating Vitrified Clay is used. Vitrified
Clay provides high strength and good
porosity. The other common bond type is
“B” for resin where synthetic resins are
used. These are used to grind cemented
carbide and ceramic materials.
Wheel Selection
The Model H7757 only accepts Type 1 3"
x 1⁄2" wheels with a 1⁄4" bore.
Aluminum oxide and silicon carbide wheels
are marked in a somewhat uniform manner
by all major manufacturers. Understanding
these markings will help you understand
the capabilities of various wheels. Always
refer to the manufacturer’s grinding recom-
mendations when selecting a wheel for
your project.
There may be other numbers inserted that
have meaning for a particular type of wheel.
Refer to the wheel manufacturer’s technical
data for a complete explanation.
Wheel Inspection
The basic format for wheel numbering
is:
Abrasive Grit Grade Bond
Prefix
Type
Size Type Type
The hazards of using a damaged
grinding wheel include flying chunks
of sharp abrasive material that could
cause serious injury or death. Inspect
every grinding wheel before it is
mounted and DO NOT use a damaged
grinding wheel!
Type 1
A
60
L
V
The Prefix is the manufacturer’s designa-
tion for a particular standardized type
of grinding wheel. Different Type pre-
fixes indicate different wheel shapes and
designs. For more information on wheel
types, ask a person with grinding experi-
ence or consult your local library.
Before mounting a new grinding wheel, it
must be inspected. DO NOT assume that
a wheel is in sound condition just because
it is new—often, damage can occur during
shipping, with age, or with exposure to
moisture.
The most common Abrasive Types used
are A for Aluminum Oxide and C for Silicon
Carbide, and occasionally SG for Seeded
Gel.
First, the wheel should be given a Visual
Inspection. Look for any cracks, chips,
nicks, or dents in the surface of the wheel.
If you see any of these, DO NOT use the
wheel.
The Grit Size is a number that refers to
the size of the abrasive grain in the wheel.
The lower the number, the coarser the
wheel. Grit sizes range from 10, which is a
very coarse grit used for roughing, to 220,
which is usually the upper range for fine
finish work.
Second, the wheel should be given a Ring
Test. This test will give you an indication of
any internal damage that may not be obvi-
ous during a visual inspection.
Grade Type is an indication of the hard-
ness of the wheel—“A” being the softest
and “Z” being the hardest.
-12-
Model H7757 3" Mini Wool Buffer
To perform a Ring Test:
To remove/mount a wheel:
1.
2.
3.
Make sure the wheel that you test is
clean and dry; otherwise, you may
get false results.
1. DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM
THE POWER SUPPLY!
2. Remove the three Phillips head screws
and tooth washers that go through the
outer guard, and take off the outer
guard.
Hang the wheel in the air with a piece
of cord or string looped through the
hole in the center.
At the spots shown in Figure 7,
gently tap the wheel with a light non-
metallic device such as the handle of
a screwdriver or a wooden mallet.
3. Use a wrench on the nut that holds
the wheel on the arbor. Hold the wheel
from turning with your other hand.
Note: The left end of the arbor has a
left-handed thread, so loosening the
nut will require turning it clockwise.
4. Remove the outer wheel flange and
paper disc. Pull the wheel free from
the arbor. There will also be a paper
disc and a wheel flange on the back
side of the wheel which should also be
removed.
5. Mount the new wheel in the reverse
order that you removed it or as shown
in Figure 8. Always make certain there
are paper or fiber discs between the
wheel flanges and the wheel itself.
Tighten the nut snugly but DO NOT
over-tighten. Over-tightening can crack
a grinding wheel.
Figure 7. Ring test tapping locations.
4.
5.
An undamaged wheel will emit a
clear metallic ring or “ping” sound
in each of these spots. A damaged
wheel will respond with a dull thud
that has no clear tone.
If you determine from the ring test
that the wheel is damaged, DO NOT
use it!

NEVER assemble a grinding wheel on
the arbor without paper or fiber discs
between the wheel and the flanges.
Failure to include the paper or fiber
discs can result in damage to the
wheel and cause it to fail when at
speed, causing serious injury!
6. Re-install the guards and shields.
7. Run a new wheel for at least one min-
ute while standing clear of the line of
rotation. If a wheel does have defects
it will generally fail as soon as it gets
up to full speed.

SECTION 5: MAINTENANCE
General
Grinding Wheels
Always be aware of the condition of your
machine. Routinely check the condition of
the following items and repair or replace
as necessary:
The grinding wheel should be visually
inspected before every use. Take care
when storing grinding wheels to keep them
free from potential damage due to being
dropped or having other items dropped
on them. Store all grinding wheels in a dry
location. Type 1 grinding wheels should
be stored vertically with cushioning mate-
rial between each wheel.
•
•
•
•
•
•
Damaged or loose grinding wheels.
Loose mounting bolts or arbor nuts.
Worn switch.
If a grinding wheel diameter has been
reduced to 21⁄2", the wheel must be
replaced. Operating a wheel at anything
less than this diameter can lead to wheel
explosion and serious personal injury.
Worn or damaged cord.
Worn or damaged support bearings.
Any other condition that could hamper
the safe operation of this machine.
Grinding wheels will require periodic
dressing. Refer to the Wheel Dressing
instructions on Page 13 for details on how
this is done.
Lubrication
Buffing Wheels
Sealed and pre-lubricated ball bearings
require no additional attention for the life
of the bearings. All bearings are standard
sizes, and replacements can be pur-
chased from our Parts Department or a
bearing supply store.
Buffing wheels should be regularly
cleaned of compounds to maintain their
effectiveness and surface texture. Wool
buffing wheels will shed fibers and will
need to be replaced eventually. If a buff-
ing wheel is reduced to 21⁄2", the wheel
must be replaced. Operating a wheel at
anything less than this diameter can tear
or rip, posing an entangement hazard for
the workpiece and operator.
