5. WORKING AREA
1. Keep your working place clean. Cluttered working places and workbenches are risks of injury.
2. Never allow children, unauthorised individuals or individuals without safety glasses and other protective
equipment to enter the working area.
3. Always operate tool in a well ventilated working area.
5.1 Personal safety
1. Wear suitable protective clothing. Never wear loose clothing or jewellery or other items of clothing that could be
trapped by moving parts. Wear gloves and shoes with non-slip soles. Protect long hair with a head band or hair
net to prevent the trapping of hair by moving parts.
2. Always wear safety glasses, face mask, hearing protection, gloves and suitable protective clothing!
3. Make sure that you have a firm grip on the tool when operating it. Always ensure you are standing firmly and
securely.
5.2 Tool usage and duty of care
1. After fitting accessories such as the Adaptor System and Bristle Blaster
®
Belt, always remove hex socket
wrench. Always ensure the hex socket wrench is removed prior to switching on the tool.
2. Prevent unintentional starting of the tool. Never carry the connected tool with your hand on the starter lever.
Ensure the starter lever is not actuated on connection to the compressed air pipe.
3. Use care. Handle tool with care. Use your common sense.
4. Never operate this or any other tool when you are tired.
5. Work at a distance to ensure other individuals cannot be injured by objects thrown off. During operation,
nobody should stand in front of or beside the user.
6. Maintain tool carefully. Follow the instructions on lubrication and the replacement of accessories.
(See section 6, Compressed air supply).
7. When not in use, prior to servicing and on the changing accessories, switch off tool and disconnect from the
compressed air supply.
8. Prior to the replacement and inspection of accessories, such as the Adaptor System and Bristle Blaster
®
Belt,
the tool is to be isolated from the compressed air supply. Do not perform any servicing work on the tool as long
as it is connected to the compressed air supply.
9. Bristle Blaster
®
Belt as long as the tool is in operation.
10. Regularly check pneumatic lines and replace if damaged. Keep vertical handle and tool body dry, clean and
free of oil and grease. A soiled housing and/or handle can cause accidents.

5.3 Special safety instructions
1. Prior to operating the tool, always check for faulty and defective parts or any other conditions that might affect
the operativeness. Never use tool if damaged or adjusted incorrectly. Any damaged safety features, starter
lever or other faulty parts are to be repaired or replaced by an authorised service engineer, provided there are
no other instructions in this manual. Never use tool with faulty starter lever.
2. User screw clamps or a vice to secure the workpieces to be machined. Always use both hands to operate the
tool.
3. Only use tool with genuine accessories such as the Adaptor System and Bristle Blaster
®
Belt. The
Bristle Blaster
®
Belt is specially designed for use on the Bristle Blaster
®
Pneumatic and is therefore not
to be used in conjunction with other accessories or other machines.
4. After replacement of the Bristle Blaster
®
Belt, check Adaptor System for correct assembly.
5. Never operate compressed air tool with an operating pressure of more than 90 psi (6.2 bar) flow pressure
at the compressed connection to the tool. This tool is not speed-regulated. The speed will increase with an
increase in the air pressure above 90 psi (6.2 bar). The operating pressure for this tool must be regulated
within the operating range specified by a reliable automatic compressed air regulator (23 mm compressed air
regulator silver, 11 mm compressed air regulator blue), see section 6, Compressed air supply.
6. Check compressed air at regular intervals. To ensure the compressed air is clean and oiled, if necessary
integrate a service unit into the compressed air line.
7. When the tool is put down on a work table or on the floor, the sign always must point upwards.
8. If the tool is not in use, disconnect from the compressed air supply and store in a suitable place to prevent
unintentional or unauthorised use in the absence of an authorised individual.
9. In use, always hold by the tool body and the vertical handle.
10. Bristle Blaster
®
Belt in the correct operating direction.
11. The Bristle Blaster
®
Belt can produce sparks on machining hard surfaces.
12. Never carry the tool holding it at the pneumatic hose. Protect compressed air hose against heat, sharp edges
and running over. (If necessary use a hose burst safety valve).
13. If the tool suddenly feels different (level of vibration) or produces a different noise (pitch), the tool should be
shut down immediately and the accessories such as the Adaptor System, Bristle Blaster
®
Belt checked for
damage.

6. COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY
This compressed air tool is designed for a maximum flow pressure of 90 psi (6.2 bar) at the tool. On the usage of
the Bristle Blaster
®
23 mm Belt, a flow pressure of 90 psi (6.2 bar) at the tool is necessary. On the usage of the
Bristle Blaster
®
11 mm Belt, a flow pressure of 75 psi (5.2 bar) at the tool is necessary.
Correct air pressure will increase the service life!
The supply of compressed air must be free of water. For this reason a water separator must be used to trap con-
densate. If the compressed air hose is too long, the tool cannot be supplied with the necessary air pressure.
For correct operation and the long service life of the compressed air motor, the usage of a lubrication device in the
compressed air line is expressly recommended.
Attention!
Use correct air pressure regulator!

Attention!
On the usage of the compressed air regulator, a flow pressure of 7.5 - 8.5 bar at the
tool is necessary!

7. 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. Use suitable sealing material such as Teflon
®
Band to fasten
the connection for the pneumatic hose.
2. On the selection of the Bristle Blaster
®
Belts, take into account
the surface to be machined (angle, 11mm belt/ flat surfaces,
23 mm belt).
3. Interrupt supply of compressed air and then fasten Bristle
Blaster
®
23 mm or 11 mm Belt correctly to the tool using the
related Adaptor System (pay attention to direction of travel) and
the related serrated lock washer and screw. See Fig. 1 and
Fig. 2
4. Never place an Bristle Blaster
®
11 mm Belt in an 23 mm
Adaptor System, and never place a Bristle Blaster
®
23 mm Belt
in a 11 mm Adaptor System.
5. For Bristle Blaster
®
11 mm Belt only use 24 mm Accelerator
Bar. For Bristle Blaster
®
23 mm Belt only use 40 mm Accelera-
tor Bar. For Bristle Blaster
®
11 mm Belt only use 24 mm Accel-
erator Bar. For Bristle Blaster
®
23 mm Belt only use 40 mm
Accelerator Bar.
6. Start tool by pressing starter lever. Move the safety stop
forward and press the starter lever. The starter lever returns to
its initial position when released.
7. Hold tool by the tool body and the vertical handle at the same
time.
8. To obtain the best performance, it is to be ensured the
accelerator 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.
9. Work only with minimum surface pressure. Excessive surface
pressure reduces effectiveness.
10. In all circumstances, prevent the entry of water (moist air) into
the pneumatic tool.

Pneumatic Operating instructions
If the tool does not work correctly, check the following:
ÆAre you using a suitable Bristle Blaster
®
Belt for the surface to be machined? – Use the most suitable Bristle
Blaster
®
Belt.
ÆAre you operating the tool with the correct speed? – Problems with the tool, see section 10, Troubleshooting.
ÆAre you using a Bristle Blaster
®
Belt with the wrong direction of travel? – Fit the Bristle Blaster
®
Belt such that is
runs in the correct direction (see section 7, Placing in operation, Fig. 2).
ÆIs the Accelerator Bar showing signs of wear? Check the Accelerator Bar. In case of wear turn by approx. 45°
or exchange.

8.1 Lubrication / servicing
Lubrication
If the tool is new, ensure the compressed air motor is lubricated prior to operation. If a series lubrication device is
not used, add a few drops of light oil to the compressed air connection daily. Correct lubrication will ensure longer
tool service life.
