Place the Bullet Blender

grasping the bottom sides. Plug the AC
power supply cord connector into the
AC Input Receptacle on the right side

the plug into a wall outlet. You should
see lights on the time setting flash for
several seconds, indicating that the unit

OPERATION
To use your Bullet Blender 50, lift
open the instrument cover, twist the
handle of the sample plate cover
counter clock-wise until the white
arrow is in the unlocked position (see
figure below) and lift the sample plate
cover out of the instrument.
The figure above shows labels that
indicate if the sample plate cover is in
the locked or unlocked position. Here, it
is shown in the locked position.
Insert the 50 mL sample tubes in the
protective sleeves and place the sleeves
into the sample tube plate.
The threads
on the sample tubes must be dry and
the caps must be screwed on very
tightly.
Use a minimum of 2 sleeves, so
that all the energy from the Bullet
Blender is not concentrated on a single
tube. For best results, the sleeves should
be evenly spaced. Replace the cover
and rotate it to lock it in place. Fold
down the handle on the cover, and then
close the lid.
Set the time and the speed to the
button. At each three minute interval an
LED will light up, indicating its
progress. The air cooling will continue
for 30 seconds after the motor times
out.
