Safety SHOT BLASTER SAFETY GUIDELINES Before use, anyone operating this equipment must read and understand these safety instructions. Dust Collection Shot Blasting Beware of hidden obtrusions. Turn off machine before working with dust collector. Watch out for hidden dangers and protrusions in flooring. Do not Do not switch off or remove the dust collector while the machine is use on largely uneven surfaces.
Components and Assembly AMP METER The Amp meter (Figure 1) shows the load consumption of the blast wheel motor. When turning on the motor, the current is high (starting current peak). For no-load current and operating current, see the following values: No Load Operating <...
Components and Assembly the abrasive is facing the center of the machine. Two small grooves (K) indicate the loca- tion of the control cage opening. Turning the control cage counterclockwise will move the blast pattern to the right, and turning it clockwise will move the blast pattern to the left. THE SEPARATOR (FIGURE 5) The separator (1) is mounted to the end of the rebound plenum.
Components and Assembly BELT DRIVE The V-belt is designed for the installed drive power. Forcing the drive to grant a higher output by over tensioning the V-belt results in belt breaks, bearing damage and thus to lower efficiency. A low V-belt tension results in slippage causing an increased belt temperature and thus to premature destruction of the V-belts.
Components and Assembly • Do not fix any rope or chain to the handle. Only fix ropes or chains at locations as shown (Figure 10). The handle is only fixed with two screws and cannot be used for transport or to fix ropes or hoisting equipment. •...
Operation START-UP PROCEDURE (FIGURE 12) Turn on dust collector (see dust collector manual). Check that the magnetic valve is closed. Push the green “Control Power” button. Set the potentiometer in a low speed setting (2-3). Push the green “Blast Wheel” button.
Operation Turn the machine around by first closing the feed valve. Then turn the machine to the right and guide it in an arc to get back to the last blasted path. Repeat this in order to complete the surface. Move away from the filter towards the open surface. Move the dust collector to the surface already blasted and finished the area where the filter was located before.
Operation the steel plate. There will be a hot zone on the blasted surface where the machine has developed the highest blast intensity. The zone is nor- mally a little lighter and warmer than the rest of the blast cleaned area. Adjust the control cage until the hot zone is exactly in the middle of the blast pattern.
