  • Page 17: Testing The Proximity-Switch

    Testing the Proximity-switch The Proximity-switch detects if the machine is sucked against the surface to be treated. In the unlikely event that the machine comes from the wall during blasting, the proximity-switch will immediately close the shotvalves at double speed, minimising the damage and danger. Make sure the dusthose is connected and the dustcollector is ON.

  • Page 18: Testing The End-Switch For Winch

    Testing the End-switch for winch The end-switch for the winch stops the movement in the upward direction when the end-switch is activated. If the end-switch is activated, only the downward movement of the machine is possible. This safety feature will protect the machine and rigging from getting crushed by moving too far upwards. Make sure the dusthose is connected and the dustcollector is ON.
