Edging Mode 

 
 
 

6.1  Edging Mode 

 
Refer to Figure Number 5 
 

The model 1-8DEC 208/230V is capable of cleaning surfaces within 1 / 2 inch of 
vertical obstructions.  (This is along the side of the machine.  The 1-8DEC can 
be pushed as close as 1-1/2 inches from the front of the machine.)  Performing 
the following steps sets up the edging mode: 

 

1.  Remove  the  two  hex  screws  holding  the  retainer,  seal  and  magnet  on  the 

side  of  the  machine  where  the  edging  is  required.    This  requires  a  5-mm 
metric hex key.  Be careful to keep abrasive from entering the holes in which 
the screws were secured.  You may want to cover these two holes with duct 
tape while in the edging mode to protect the threads.   

  

2.  Move the machine to the area in which the edging will be done and see if the 

machine can be moved freely.  Adjust the height of the machine if necessary. 

 

3.  Begin cleaning in the normal fashion.  Do not blast when the machine is away 

from  the  vertical  surface  in  the  edging  mode  since  the  magnetic  seal  is  no 
longer  present.    Abrasive  will  disperse  more  readily  from  the  side  if  the 
magnet is not in place.  Keep in mind that the machine will tend to lose more 
abrasive  while  in  the  edging  mode  since  the  magnetic  seal  has  been 
removed. 

 
 

NOTE:  Do not use the machine for normal blasting when it has been prepared for 
edging.  The magnet, seal and retainer must be reinstalled first. 
 
CAUTION:    Close  the  abrasive  valve  before  moving  the  1-8DEC  away  from  the 
vertical  surface.    Failure  to  do  so  may  expose  nearby  personnel  to  flying 
abrasive.
