TO THE SLOTTED END OF THE RELEASE PLATE. Next shake
the MICRO-BLASTER so that the Firing Pin extends about 1/10
of an inch from the tip of the MICRO-BLASTER. A whipping
motion seems the most effective for extending the Firing Pin. If
the Firing Pin is not easily shifted, check for damage or dirt
which may be stopping its free movement. NEVER USE YOUR
MICRO-BLASTER IF THE FIRING PIN DOES NOT MOVE
FREELY. The green indicator should not be visible through the
countersunk hole in the side of the MICRO-BLASTER when the
Firing Pin is extended. With the pin extended from the tip,
carefully insert the tip of the MICRO-BLASTER into the hole
and gently slide it into the hole until it makes contact with the
cartridge installed in the previous step. Some resistance to
insertion is desirable as this will contribute to the effectiveness
of the MICRO-BLASTER in that the gasses produced from
initiation of the cartridge will not easily eject the MICRO-
BLASTER from the hole. To make sure that you have made
contact with the cartridge notice that you can now see the green
head of the Firing Pin through the countersunk hole in the side
of your MICRO-BLASTER BODY. If you cannot see the green it
is very likely that the tip of the MICRO-BLASTER is not in
contact with the end of the cartridge. The MICRO-BLASTER will
not initiate the cartridge if the tip is not in contact with the
cartridge. When you can see green through the hole, the tip of
the MICRO-BLASTER is in contact with the cartridge and ready
to fire. Covering the masonry or rock with a blast mat (ie old
carpet or other heavy material) is highly recommended and will
avoid damage to anything in the immediate area from flyrock.
After making sure that the area is clear, remove the safety clip
and retreat to the end of the 25 foot (8 meter) release cord. Be
extremely careful to avoid stepping on or tripping over the
release cord and inadvertently triggering the MICRO-BLASTER
as you move to the WINDER end of the Release Cord.
6. Before initiating the cartridge again carefully scan the area
around where you are working and make sure that no one has
inadvertently entered your work area. When you have
determined that the area is clear pull the Release Cord gently
but steadily until the MICRO-BLASTER initiates the cartridge.
