5.2 Start Up
All persons near the machine must wear safety glasses with lateral protection, ear
protection, and safety shoes. The operator is obliged to wear close fitted protective
clothing.
The start up of the blast machine and the filter
unit should happen in the following order:
1. Switch on the filter unit. (See operating
instructions of the filter unit.)
2. Check that the magnetic valve is closed.
The lever (1) should be in the position as
shown.
3. Make sure the machine sealings (2) are
completely straight on the surface.
4. To start the wheel, move the switch
downward (3) as shown and push the
switch to adjust.
BEWARE: When blasting concrete the abrasive feed valve should only be opened
when the blast-machine is in forward motion! If the machine is at a standstill and the
valve is opened deep grooves are blasted into the concrete surface within seconds.
WARNING: when the blast head is lifted from the floor, abrasive will spurt out of the
sides of the blast head at high speed. If the machine is moved with the blast head
raised, the abrasive feed valve must be fully closed.
5. When the machine is moving, push the lever (1) down to the handle to operate the feed valve.
6. After having approximately blasted 1-2 ft of surface, close the abrasive valve, stop the machine,
and check the blasted surface for an inconsistencies. If the blast pattern is irregular, it may
be necessary to readjust the blast pattern (see Chapter “Setting the blast pattern”) or select a
different speed for the machine.
Alter the travel direction only while the feed valve is closed.
The dustbin of the filter unit needs regular dumping. Do not overfill the bin to avoid
dust exposure when opening the bin. Comply with the local waste treatment
regulations when considering the removed material.
