Attention:
Never press the foot switch during filling.
EN
Even though the manometer may indicate pressure, the sand-
blasting tanks are only under pressure if the foot switch is
engaged.
• Add abrasive up to the maximum fill level (the point where the
tank jacket thickens just below the thread)�
• Reinstall the tank cover�
Before closing the tank, be sure to clean the threads in the
cover and the tank to remove any abrasive residue.
Caution: Do not tilt the tank lid when unscrewing.
Always use only clean, dry abrasive of the appropriate grain size
(refer to the accessories)�
The sandblasting unit is now operational.

5.2
Cold silanization in the sandblasting unit
The Basic series of Renfert sandblasting units is exclusively recommended by 3M ESPE for use with
ROCATEC™� This bonding system is ideal if an adhesive bond is required between a composite and a
dental material (metal, acrylic, porcelain, zirconia porcelain)�
Advantage:
The surface film is applied cold, preventing thermal loading of metal frameworks and consequently the
risk of distortion� All units in the Basic series can be used for ROCATEC™ due to their regular, homoge-
neous jet flow.
