• Close the pane.
• Replace the magnet (see spare parts list).
• Exchange during service.
• Fill with more sand.
• Clean the filter.
• Exchange the suction pipe.
• Open the blasting nozzle unit (Fig. 15-A) and
clean the nozzle.
• Connect to the power supply.
• Change fuse (Fig. 13-B) - replacement fuse in
set. If it happens again >>> repair.
• Release by removing and replacing the basket.
• Raise suction power on extraction unit.
• Increase suction performance by closing the
air inlet boreholes under the glass holder
(Fig. 42-B) (with the supplied magnetic strip).
• Clean extraction unit.
• Reduce suction power.
Warning: too little suction power can lead to
dirty blasting material.
• Reduce to a maximum of 6 objects.
• Remove blasting cones before starting.
• Increase working pressure >>> recommended
working pressure: 4 - 5 bar [58 - 72.5 psi].
• Move nozzle further forward.
• Unit should be filled with min. 4 - 5 kg blasting
material.
• Remove sand and check / replace lead pipe.
• Replace nozzles.
• Dehydrate the compressor. Use a more powerful
unit.
• Regulate the run-on time between 5 and 30
seconds via the control on the back of the unit
(Fig. 21).
• Switch off the external extraction unit.
• Connect an extraction unit.
• Close the air holes (Fig. 42-B).
• Increase extraction power.
• Connect the extraction unit power cable to the
blasting unit.
• Interrupt automatic mode using HOLD button
(Fig. 18-I).
• Switch to manual (Fig. 18-E).
