5. PLACING IN OPERATION
Application:
This tool is used for the removal of corrosion and coatings, and for producing a rough surface profile (anchor profile)
using a specially developed Bristle Blaster
®
Belt.
1. Interrupt supply of power and then fasten Bristle Blaster
®
23 mm belt correctly to the tool using the relatedAdapter Sys-
tem (pay attention to direction of travel) and the related serrat-
ed lock washer and screw. See Fig. 1 and Fig. 2
2. For Bristle Blaster
®
23 mm stainless steel belt only use 40 mm
"stainless steel"Accelerator Bar.
3. Before you plug the tool into a socket, you must check that it
is possible to actuate the switch correctly and that the switch
returns to the "OFF" position when you press on the rear part
of the switch. To start the tool, you must release the rear part of
the switch and push it forward. You must then release the front
part of the switch so that it engages. To stop the tool, you must
press the rear part of the switch. The switch then jumps to the
"OFF" position. Prior to plugging into a socket, always ensure
the switch is not in the "ON" position.
4. Hold tool by the tool body and the vertical handle at the same
time.
5. To obtain the best performance, it is to be ensured the accel-
erator bar is guided close to the surface to be machined. If the
accelerator bar is too far from the surface, the performance will
drop significantly. See Fig. 3. For a more detailed description
of the function of the Bristle Blaster
®
see the DVD supplied
or www.monti.de
6. Only work using minimum contact pressure. Excessive contact
pressure will limit the performance.
7. In all circumstances, prevent the entry of water into the tool.

Volt AC Ampère Double insulated housing RoHS
Double insulated housing
The Bristle Blaster
®
Electric has a double insulated housing. Double insulated housings are manufactured with two
separate layers of protection for the electrical insulation or have twice the width insulation between the user and the
electrical tool. The Bristle Blaster
®
Electric, which is equipped with this insulation system, does not need an earthed
electrical cable or to be plugged into an earthed socket. For this reason this tool is equipped with a plug that makes
it possible to use extension cables that do not need to be earthed. However the double insulation does not replace
the usual safety regulations that must be followed on the usage of this tool. This insulation is intended to provide
additional protection to protect you from injuries in case of possible electrical damage inside the tool.

Extension cable
Double insulated tools have two-core cables and can be used with two-core or three-core extension cables. Only
use sheathed extension cables. If the extension is used outdoors, the cable must be suitable for work outdoors.Any
cable that is marked for usage outdoors can also be used for work indoors. For safety reasons an extension cable
must have a suitable wire diameter or a suitable wire size (AWG – American Wire Gauge) to protect against power
loss and overheating. If you use more than one extension cable, ensure each cable is of at least the minimum wire
diameter required.
Before you use an extension cable, you must check it for loose or bare wires, as well as damaged insulation or
faulty cable connections. Perform all necessary repairs or replace the complete cable if necessary before you use it.
6.1 Servicing
Warning
Ensure the tool is switched off and unplugged before you inspect it or service it.
Servicing
This tool should only be serviced by trained repair specialists for electrical tools or other qualified service personnel
for tool.
Cleaning
After use, clean dust from the motor housing and particularly the fan by blowing off with compressed air. This regu-
lar servicing action protects against the residue from the abrasion and dust settling on surfaces inside the tool and
thus reducing the performance of the motor and the cooling by the fan.
