This machine is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge. Blastrac BV offers a course on the use of the machine in order to make the operating and maintenance personnel familiar with all elements of the machine.
Any damage to the electric cables and/or electrical components is not permitted. d) If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced immediately. Only use original Blastrac parts. e) The voltage on the identification plate must comply with the power supply.
If the length of the brushes is, due to wear, less than 5mm or they are extremely deformed, the brushes have to be replaced. Check the Service Manual for the order numbers. All repair work has to be done by qualified Blastrac personnel, this guarantees a safe and reliable machine.
Be aware of your surroundings and machine operating level. Do not side hill, do not run on steep incline, this could cause machine to tip over. b) The weight of the 1-10DS Global is between 385 and 395 kg. Use a crane or lift when transporting the machine, use the lifting eyes / lugs of the machine.

e) When lifting the machine from the ground, always use the lowest lifting speed. The cables must first be tensioned at this speed; they must not be slack when the machine is lifted from the ground. During hoisting make sure to be at a safe distance from the machine with the most optimal view on the machine and working environment.
Signs on the machine The following stickers are placed on the machine. Meanings of these symbols are: Wear a dust mask class FFP3 or ! Danger Hazardous voltage in motor higher. even when solid state controller is OFF. Disconnect main power before servicing motor, controller or associated wiring.
4. Before operation Before using the machine it is of great importance to inspect the machine. It is not permitted to use the machine if the machine safety is not according the checkpoints below.

Transport Read chapter 3.7 “Transport safety” Be careful! Make sure nobodies feet get under the wheels. Wear appropriate safety shoes when you drive the machine to or from the work area. Make sure that no vehicles, such as forklift trucks and other equipment run over the electric cable and the dust hose.

Blast wheel The heart of the blast cleaning machine is the blast wheel which throws the abrasive onto the surface to be cleaned by using centrifugal force. The blast wheel is placed in a protective housing lined with replaceable wear plates. The blast wheel is driven by an electric motor. Around the centre of the blastwheel there is the impeller, feeding dosed quantities of abrasive onto the blades of the turning blast wheel.
4.12 Abrasive sealing Magnetic seals are fitted to the front and the sides of the blast housing outlet and are surrounded by brush seals. At the rear there is a seal sliding over the floor. The seals are employed to seal the blasting area in a way to avoid leakage of any abrasive.
5. Operating During operating the machine, the following additional safety instructions must be followed closely. Before switching on the machine make sure that no-one can be endangered when the machine starts up. Make sure that no vehicles, such as forklift trucks and other equipment run over the electric cable and the dust hose.
When the blast head is lifted from the floor, abrasive escapes from the sides of the blast head at high speed! If the machine is moved with the blast head raised, the abrasive magnetic valve must be closed! Alter the direction only after closing the magnetic valve! Operation Carry out blasting in parallel tracks in such way that the dust hose and electric cable do not become twisted.
Page 20
The blast pattern Abrasive leaving the blast wheel blades is not thrown in all directions. Scatter is restricted to an angle of about 50°. This is achieved through the use of a control cage which surrounds the impeller. The position of the window in the control cage determines the blast pattern.
Page 21
WARNING! Never loosen the cage clamps lever or try to adjust the blast wheel cover when the machine is in operation!! Hotspot is too far to LH-side Hotspot perfect Hotspot too far to RH-side Adjust the Control Cage in Adjust the Control Cage in CounterClockWise-direction ClockWise-direction to get to get the hotspot perfect.
Maintenance Pay attention to Chapter 3 "Safety" during maintenance and repair works. Failures due to inadequate or incorrect maintenance may generate very high repair costs and long standstill periods of the machine. Regular maintenance therefore is imperative. Operational safety and service life of the machine depends, among other things, on proper maintenance. The following table shows recommendations about time, inspection and maintenance for the normal use of the machine.

Changing the tune-up kit De tune-up kit consists of the blastwheel (7) , the control cage (3) and a bolt (6). Remove the feed spout (1) by loosening the star nuts and pulling it out of the housing. Remove the cage clamps (2) and remove the control cage (3) and control cage shim (9).
Page 25
Changing the liners Loosen the press bolt of the top liner. Loosen the bolts of the blast housing cover and remove it. Loosen the nuts of the left and right side liner(2+3). Take them out at the bottom of the housing.
The V-belts The V-belt drives are designed for the installed driving power. To force a higher output through an excessive high tension of the V-belts will result in broken belts, damage to the bearings and causes loss of the total efficiency.

6.6 The chain drive A chain drive needs relatively little maintenance when the correct chain is selected, when it is mounted correctly and, in this case of application, is not lubricated. The drive chain is protected by a chain guard. The chain guard prevents excessive contamination and prevents accidents.

The Blastrac blast cleaning machines are designed and built to operate with Blastrac abrasive. Blastrac abrasive has a very high quality and has the rebouncing ability required for the efficient use of the machine. The selection of abrasive is very important since this is the material to carry out the surface treatment.
