Q. How do you maintain a buffing wheel?

Answer

The sharp edge of a wheel rake is the most effective tool for maintaining a clean buffing wheel. To use a wheel rake, start the blade turning and present the cutting edge to the polishing wheel. Buff the wheel until it is bright and fluffy again by moving the wheel rake back and forth across its face. To remove an attachment from a mandrel, spin the accessory counterclockwise while holding down the "lock" button. To reinstall the accessory, click the "lock" button again and turn the item's screw on clockwise using a fresh point or wheel. Always match the appropriate mandrel and accessories.
