Operation

Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT 
SAFEGUARDS section at the beginning 
of this manual including all text 
under subheadings therein before 
set up or use of this product.

TO PREVENT INJURY FROM BURNS: 
Allow to cool before adjusting or unloading.

CAUTION!

 Vibratory finishing often creates dust 

which may be harmful to your health. Wait for at 
least 1 hour after vibrating is complete and the 
vibrator has been turned OFF before opening 
the vibrator. This will allow the dust to settle.

CAUTION!

 Never vibrate with the top off, as 

hazardous dust may be created, and the media or 
work materials may be ejected from the vibrator.

1.  Fill the Vibratory Bowl (6) about 2/3 full 

with polishing media (not included).

2.  Add work material parts to Vibratory Bowl. Do 

not overfill Vibratory Bowl, and do not exceed 
work weight limit of 18 lb. including media.

3.  Place the Vibratory Lid (4) on the Vibratory 

Bowl (6). Place the Flat Rubber Washer (3) and 
the Flat Metal Washer (2) on the Center Shaft 
(38) as shown in the Assembly Diagram. 

4.  Place the Clamping Nut (1) on the Center Shaft 

and tighten in place. Tighten enough to keep the 
Vibratory Lid (4) in place. Do not overtighten. 

5.  Plug in the unit and press the Power 

Switch (29) to the ON position. The 
Vibratory Bowl will begin to operate.

6.  When the job is completed, turn the Power 

Switch (29) OFF and unplug the unit.

7.  Remove the Clamping Nut (1), and pull the 

Vibratory Lid (4) off the Center Shaft (38) bringing 
the Flat Metal Washer (2) and Flat Rubber 
Washer (3) with it. Set the Lid assembly aside.

8.  If a lubricant is used, then the Overflow Hose (41) 

must be used to drain any excess lubricant/water 
into a suitable container, preventing overflow.

9.  Check the work material to determine if the 

job is completed to satisfaction. If additional 
work is required, replace the Lid assembly and 
repeat the process. If the work is completed, 
unload the work material and media. 

10.  Store the work material as required, and 

dispose of the media. Do not reuse media.

11.  To prevent accidents, turn off the appliance and 

disconnect its power supply after use.  Clean, then 
store the appliance indoors out of children’s reach.
