Spray Nozzle

Use the spray nozzle for cleaning—

•  delicate parts

•  parts with thin walls or fragile areas

•  models made from TangoPlus, TangoBlack and TangoGray materials

Examples of models suitable for cleaning with the spray nozzle are: jewelry and dental appliances.

Caution:

Lack of water or insufficient water pressure can cause the pump to operate improperly, 
overheat, or fail.

• 

Always

 open the water supply source 

before

 activating the WaterJet. The water 

supply must remain open while the WaterJet is being used.

•  Ensure that the water supply to the water pressure pump provides the required 

pressure. (A typical water pressure pump requires a supply pressure of at least 2 
bar.)

Operating the WaterJet

To operate the WaterJet:

1.  Turn on the main power switch on the front panel of the WaterJet (see 

"On/Off Switch" on page 10

).

2.  Open the WaterJet cabinet side door.

3.  Place a model in the WaterJet cabinet.

4.  Close the side door.

Note:

Do not continue until you make sure that you closed the side door.

5.  Insert your hands in the built-in gloves.

6.  Select a suitable cleaning nozzle (see 

"Nozzle Selection" on page 12

).

7.  Make sure you grasp the nozzle before you activate the WaterJet.

8.  Activate the WaterJet using the foot pedal (see 

"Foot Pedal" on page 13

) and clean the model.

Note:

For optimum results, press the foot pedal down completely and continuously.

9.  When you have finished removing the support material, open the side door and remove the model.

10.  If there are no more models to be cleaned at this time, switch off the WaterJet.

11.  Turn off the water supply to the WaterJet.
