• Screws that have been removed must be replaced with those of the same quality (strength,
material) and design.
Prior to any repair work on the machine and its drives, secure the machine against
unintentional switching-on. Pull out the main plug in order to do this. Store the plug
near the machine to avoid accidents.
7.4 Adjusting the Blast Pattern
Never slacken cage clamps or try to adjust the control cage when the machine is in
operation.
During blasting of the surface, material should be removed within the whole width of the internal
dimension of the blast housing and the machine should achieve and equal blast pattern. (S)
The abrasive leaving the blast wheel blades is not thrown uncontrolled in all directions. The width of
the blast pattern is achieved through the opening of the control cage (1). Responsible for the direction
in which the abrasive is thrown is the position of the control cage.
If the machine produces a one-sided, uneven blast pattern, it is in most cases caused by wrong
position of the control cage.
The adjustment is effected by loosening the cage clamps (2). The control cage can now be turned in
the front plate (3) To set the blast pattern correctly, you have to loosen the age clamps (2) and to turn
the control cage as shown in the picture. This should be done step by step.
Each control cage has two grooves which show the position of the control cage opening. The grooves
should be in the following position: UM at 9 o’clock A.M. and OM at 11 o’clock A.M.
The position of the control cage has been pre-adjusted by IMPACTS to work with the IMPACTOR
abrasive S330 and S390, Using a different abrasive can result in changing the blast pattern.
