WORKING SAFELY WITH THIS MACHINE IS POSSIBLE ONLY WHEN THE OPERATING AND SAFETY
INFORMATION ARE READ COMPLETELY AND THE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED THEREIN ARE STRICTLY
FOLLOWED. IN ADDITION, THE GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN THE ENCLOSED BOOKLET MUST
BE FOLLOWED. BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME, TAKE A LOOK AT THE MACHINE TO UNDERSTAND
THE PRACTICAL WORKINGS OF IT.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO FOLLOW
• Always install, operate, inspect and maintain this product in accordance with all applicable standards
and regulations (local, state, country, federal, etc.).
• Compressed air models always use clean, dry air at 90 psi (6.2 bar/620 kPa) maximum air pressure at
the inlet. Higher pressure may result in hazardous situations including excessive speed, rupture, or
incorrect output torque or force.
• Be sure all hoses and ttings are the correctly sized and secured.
• Ensure an accessible emergency shut o has been installed. Make others aware of its location.
• Do not use damaged, frayed, or deteriorated air hoses and ttings.
• Keep clear of whipping air hoses. Shut o the compressed air before approaching a whipping hose.
• Check the compressed air at regular intervals to ensure the compressed air is clean and oiled. If it is
necessary integrate a service until into the compressed air line.
• If the tool is not in use, disconnect it from the air supply and store it in a suitable clean/dry location to
prevent any unauthorized use.
• Keep in mind that brushes can create sparks while running on hard surfaces. Take precautions while
in use.
• Always turn o and disconnect the tool from its power supply before installing, removing or
adjusting any accessory, or before performing any maintenance on the tool.
• Do not lubricate tools with ammable or volatile liquids such as kerosene, diesel or jet fuel. Use only
recommended lubricants.
• Keep work area clean, uncluttered, ventilated and illuminated.
• Do not operate the machine while ammable or volatile liquids such as gasoline, diesel or jet fuel are
present. Failure to do so can result in explosion. (When applicable.)
• Do not remove any labels. Replace any damaged label.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO FOLLOW
• Always wear protection when operating or performing maintenance on this tool.
• Always wear hearing protection when operating this tool.
• Always use Personal Protective Equipment appropriate to the tool used and material worked. This
may include dust mask or other breathing apparatus, safety glasses, ear plugs, gloves, apron, safety
shoes, hard hat and other equipment.
• Prevent exposure and breathing of harmful dust and particles created by power tool use:
- Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, and grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead based paints,
- Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
- Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to lter out microscopic
particles.
• Keep others a safe distance from your work area, or ensure they use appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment.
• This tool is not designed for working in explosive environments, including those caused by fumes
and dust, or near ammable materials.
• Be aware of buried, hidden or other hazards in your work environment. Do not contact or damage
cords, conduits, pipes, or hoses that may contain electrical wires, explosive gases or harmful liquids.
• Keep hands, loose clothing, long hair and jewelry away from working end of tool.
• Do not indulge in horseplay. Distraction can cause accidents.
• Power tools can vibrate in use. Vibration, repetitive motions or uncomfortable positions may be
harmful to your hands and arms. Stop using any tool if discomfort, tingling feeling or pain occurs.
Seek medical advices before resuming use.
• Keep body stance balanced and rm. Do not overreach when operating this tool. Anticipate and be
alert for sudden changes in motion, reaction torques, or forces during startup and operation.
• Tool and/or accessories may briey continue their motion after throttle is released.

USING THE TOOL
• To avoid accidental starting – ensure tool in“o”position before applying air pressure. Avoid throttle
when carrying, and release throttle with loss of air.
• Ensure work pieces are secure. Use clamps or vises to hold work piece whenever possible.
• Make sure the hex socket wrench is removed before you start up!
• Make sure you have a rm grip on the tool before you begin.
• Do not carry or drag the tool by the hose.
• Do not use power tools when tired, or under the inuence of medication, drugs, or alcohol.
• Never us a damaged or malfunctioning tool or accessory.
• Do not modify the tool, safety devices, or accessories.
• Do not use this tool for purposed other than those recommended.
• Never operate a tool with an accessory unless it is properly installed and the tool is held rmly against
the work.
• Always use a retainer, when furnished, in addition to proper barriers to protect persons in surround-
ing or lower areas from possible ejected accessories.
• When wearing gloves and operating models with inside trigger, always be sure that the gloves will
not prevent the trigger from being released.
• Keep hands and ngers away from the throttle lever until it is time to operate the tool.
• Never rest the tool on your foot.
• Never point the tool at anyone.
• Compressed air is dangerous. Never point an air hose at yourself or others.
• Never blow clothes free of dust with compressed air.
• Be sure all hose connections are tight. A loose hose not only leaks but can come completely o the
tool and while whipping under pressure, can injure the operator and other in the area. Attach safety
cables to all hosed to prevent injury in case a hose is accidentally broken.

USING THE TOOL
• Never disconnect a pressurized air hose. Always turn o the air supply and bleed the tool before
disconnecting a hose.
• Use only proper cleaning solvents to clean parts. Use only cleaning solvents which meet current
safety and health standards. Use cleaning solvents in a well ventilated area.
• Do not ush the tool or clean any parts with diesel fuel. Diesel fuel residue will ignite in the tool when
the tool is operated, causing damage to internal parts. When using models with outside triggers or
throttle levers, take care when setting the tool down to prevent accidental operation.
• Do not operate the tool with broken or damaged parts.
• Never start the tool when it is lying on the ground.
• ALWAYS hold both the tool body and the vertical handle while in use.
• This tool is not designed for working in explosive atmospheres.

OPERATING THE RUSTIBUS® 25
The Rustibus® 25 is easy to operate and leaves the surface clean to St 3 +++.
This tool is used for the removal of rust, corrosion, mill scale, protective coatings, body ller, adhesive
labels, etc.
1. ALWAYS use suitable sealing material to fasten the connection of the pneumatic hose to the
Rustibus® 25.
2. There are two sizes of abrasive brushes to choose from; 11mm or 23mm straight or bent bristle
brushes along with 23mm erasers and coating removal wheels.
3. NEVER place an 11mm abrasive into a 23mm hub or vice versa. This can cause damage to the
machine and operator.
4. Start the tool by moving the safety stop forward and depressing the throttle level. The throttle level
will return to its initial position when it is released.
5. NEVER operate the tool while not in contact with the work surface or if there is the possibility of
bodily contact with the rotating hub.
6. Hold the tool by the body and the vertical handle at the same time. This is to ensure proper substrate
removal and secure handling of the tool during operation.
7. Work only with minimum surface pressure and even movements across surface. Excess pressure can
reduce the desired results and wear abrasives prematurely.
