Operating instructions
Working area4.
Keep working area clean. Cluttered working areas and benches signify a risk of injury.1. Never allow children, unauthorised individuals or individuals without safety glasses and other protective equip-2. ment to enter the working area.
Always operate tool in a well ventilated working area.3.
Personal safety4.1
Wear suitable protective clothing.1. 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.
Always wear safety glasses, face mask, hearing protection, gloves and suitable protective clothing!2. Ensure the tool can be held safely during operation.Always ensure you are standing firmly and securely.3.
Tool usage and duty of care4.2
After fitting1. MBX
®
accessories such as the adaptor system and Die Blaster
®
belt, always remove hex socket
wrench. Always ensure the hex socket wrench is removed prior to switching on the tool.
Avoid unintentional switching on of the tool.2. 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.
Exercise care. Handle tool with care. Use your common sense.3.
Never4. operate this tool or any other tool if you are tired.
Work at a distance to ensure other individuals cannot be injured by objects thrown off. During operation, nobody5. should stand in front of or beside the user.
Maintain tool carefully. Follow the instructions on lubrication and the replacement of accessories. (See section6. 5, Compressed air supply).
When not in use, prior to servicing and on the changing accessories, switch off tool and disconnect from the7. compressed air supply.
Prior to the replacement and inspection of8. MBX
®
accessories, such as the adaptor system and Die 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.
Never touch an9. MBX
®
Die Blaster
®
belt as long as the tool is in operation.
Regularly check pneumatic lines and replace if damaged. Keep vertical handle and tool body dry, clean and free10. of oil and grease. Smudges on the body of the tool may lead to accidents.

Special safety instructions4.3
Prior to use, check tool for damaged or faulty parts or other conditions that will degrade the operation of the tool.1. Never use the tool when it is damaged or incorrectly adjusted. 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.
Use screw clamps or a vice to secure the workpieces to be machined. Always use both hands to operate the2. tool.
Only use tool with genuine3. MBX
®
accessories such as the adaptor system and Die Blaster
®
belt. The
MBX
®
Die Blaster
®
belt is specially designed for use on the MBX
®
Die Blaster
®
and is therefore not to
be used in conjunction with other accessories or other machines.
After replacement of the4. MBX
®
Die Blaster
®
belt, check adaptor system for correct assembly.
Never operate compressed air tool with an operating pressure of more than 75 psi (5.2 bar) flow pressure at the5. compressed connection to the tool. This tool is not speed-regulated. The speed will increase with an increase in
the airpressure above75 psi (5.2bar). Theoperating pressure forthis toolmust be regulatedwithin the operating
range specified by a reliable automatic compressed air regulator (11 mm compressed air regulator article number
ZU-074), see section 5, Compressed air supply.
Attention!
Please use a hose burst safety valve. It protects personnel and workplace from damages which may occur
when the compressed air system or hose bursts!
Checkcompressedairatregularintervals.Toensurethe compressed air is clean and oiled, if necessary integrate6. a service unit into the compressed air line.
Ensure that the belts do not get damaged when putting the tool down on a work bench.7. If the tool is not in use, disconnect from the compressed air supply and store in a suitable place to prevent unin-8. tentional or unauthorised use in the absence of an authorised individual.
Always hold the tool on the tool body during operation.9.
Use10. MBX
®
Die Blaster
®
belt in the correct operating direction.
The11. MBX
®
Die Blaster
®
belt can produce sparks when machining hard surfaces.
Nevercarrytoolbythecompressedairhose.Protectcompressedairhoseagainstheat,sharpedgesandrunning12. over. (If necessary use a hose burst safety valve).
If the tool suddenly feels different (level of vibration) or produces a different noise (pitch), shut down the tool13. immediately and check the MBX
®
accessories such as the adaptor system and Die Blaster
®
belt for damage.

Operating instructions
Compressed air supply5.
This compressed air tool is designed for a maximum flow pressure of 90 psi (6.2 bar) at the tool. When using the
MBX
®
Die 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 conden-
sate. 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.

Placing in operation6.
Application:
The new version of the Die Blaster
®
with accelerator bar has advantages in many fields of application compared to
the conventional MBX
®
system.
Good examples are rusty flanged rims of doors and covers, roof joints and wheel arches. With the accelerator bar
much more energy is available.
How to use the tool
Use suitable sealing material such as Teflon1.
®
tape for fastening
the compressed air hose connection.
On the selection of the2. MBX
®
Die Blaster
®
belts, take into
account the surface to be machined. The following MBX
®
Die Blaster
®
belts are to your disposal: 11mm coarse left-hand
side, 11mm coarse right-hand side and 11mm coarse.
Interrupt supply of compressed air, then fasten the3. MBX
®
Die Blaster
®
11 mm belt correctly to the tool using the related
adaptor system AS012 (pay attention to direction of travel)
and the related serrated lock washer and screw. See Fig. 1
and Fig. 2
For4. MBX
®
Die Blaster
®
11 mm belt only use MBX
®
28 mm
accelerator bar (VE2, ZU064).
Start tool by pressing the starter lever. Move the safety stop5. forward and press the starter lever. The starter lever returns to
its initial position when released.
To obtain the best performance, it is to be ensured the accel-6. 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.
When machining contours of hard-to- reach areas, it can be7. advisable to remove the accelerator bar. The entire unit can be
removed from its guide by pulling the button.
However, a loss in power must be accepted in this case.
To achieve optimum performanceandexcellent work result, it is8. advisable to hold the brush always perpendicular to the surface
to be machined if possible.
Only work using minimum contact pressure. Excessive contact9. pressure will limit the performance. In rare cases, however,
it might be necessary. In this cases it might be advisable to
reducethe speedin extremecontour areasby "playing"with the
start lever and, simultaneously, to increase the pressure.
In all circumstances, prevent the entry of water (moist air) into10. the pneumatic tool.

Operating instructions
If the tool does not work correctly, check the following:
Are you using a suitableÆMBX
®
belt for the surface to be machined? – Use the most suitable MBX
®
belt.
Is the tool operating at the stipulated speed? – Problems with the tool, see section 9, Troubleshooting.Æ
Are you using anÆMBX
®
belt with the wrong direction of travel? – Fit the brush belt such that is runs in the correct
direction (see section 6, Placing in operation, Fig. 2).
Is theÆMBX
®
accelerator bar showing signs of wear? Check MBX
®
accelerator bar. In case of wear, rotate by
approx. 45° or renew.

Lubrication / servicing7.1
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.
