An angle jet pipe is installed between the jet gun and the nozzle. 1 Angle jet pipe 105° 2 Angle jet pipe 90° 몇 Warning Risk of injury. When the angle jet pipe is used, a torsional moment acts on the jet pistol in addition to the repulsion power. Hold the jet pistol tightly. Start your work with low jet pressure and in- crease the jet pressure as necessary. The handle can be fastened on the exten- sion piece. (only with Advanced jet pistol) The working light is connected between the jet pistol and the nozzle. Switching on and switching off is described in the chapter "Operation/Basic Settings". Note For failure-free operation the compressed air must have a low moisture content. The compressed air must also be free from oil, dirt and foreign particles. The compressor must at least be equipped with aftercooler, oil and water separator. Close pressure relief valve. Connect the compressed air inlet pipe to the compressed air connection point of the device. The maximum permissible supply pres- sure of 1.6 MPa (16 bar) must not be exceeded. Danger Risk of electric shock. The socket to be used must have been in- stalled by an electrician and be compliant with IEC 60364-1. The machine must have an FI fuse of type B, 30 mA. Check the mains cables of the machine each time before using the machine to see that it is not damaged. Never operate a ma- chine with damaged cables. Get the dam- aged cables replaced by an electrician. The extension cord must be protected by IPX4 safety mechanism and the cables must at least be compliant with H 07 RN-F 3G1.5. Insert the mains plug into the socket. Danger Risk of cold burns. Dry ice has a tempera- ture of -79 °C. Never touch dry ice or cold parts of the machine without appropriate protection. Wear protective gloves and pro- tective overalls. Open the cover of the dry ice container. Check the dry ice container for pres- ence of foreign particles and conden- sate, remove them if found. Fill dry ice pellets into the container. Caution Risk of damage to the device. Use only dry ice pellets as jet medium. The use of any other spray agent will lead to loss of war- ranty coverage. Close the cover of the dry ice container. Note To avoid disturbances due to agglutinated dry ice pellets, it is useful to fully use up the contents of the dry ice container before adding fresh dry ice. If the machine is to re- main idle for a longer time, operate the de- vice until the dry ice container is empty or empty the container via the dry ice empty- ing function. Note The settings depend on the substances contained in the detergent and the type of dirt. Release emergency-stop button by turning. Set the appliance switch to "I". Turn the keyswitch in a clockwise direc- tion. Increase/reduce the jet pressure by us- ing the respective keys. Note The higher you set the jet pressure, so much greater (more agressive) will the cleaning effect be. Increase/reduce the dry ice dosing by using the respective keys. Turn the keyswitch counter-clockwise and remove the key. The automatic closure of the key hole will prevent contamination during oper- ation. When the key is removed, the device is protected against changes to the set- tings and resetting the statistics values. Carry out maintenance jobs "daily be- fore starting work" (see section "Mainte- nance and Care"). Danger Risk of injury on account of flying dry ice pellets. Do not direct the jet pistol on per- sons. Keep third persons away from the place of use and when the machine is being operated (by cordoning off the area). Do not touch/hold the nozzle opening or the dry ice jet when the machine is running. First stop the compressed air supply before disconnecting the jet gun from the spray agent hose and the spray agent hose from the device; remove all pressure from the system and then pull the plug out of the socket. Cordon off the working area to prevent persons coming close to the machine when it is being operated. Danger Risk of suffocation on account of carbon di- oxide. The dry ice pellets are made of solid- ified carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide content in the air at the place where the ma- chine is used will increase when the ma- chine is running. Sufficiently ventilate the workstation and use a personal warning device or breathing apparatuses, if neces- sary. Indication of high carbon dioxide concen- tration in the breathing air: – 3 p. 5
• %: headache, faster breathing. – 7 p. 10
• %: headache, nausea and per- haps even unconsciousness. If any of these symptoms occur, please switch off the machine immediately and get a breath of fresh air; improve the ventilation before starting work again with the machine or use respirators. Nozzle extension (accessory) Angle jet pipe (accessories) Handle (accessory) Working light (accessory) Connect compressed air supply Establish mains contact Operation Filling dry ice Settings Operation 20 EN- 7 Carbon dioxide accumulates in lower situ- ated places. Prevent accumulation by means of active ventilation measures. Follow the safety specifications of the man- ufacturer of dry ice. Danger There is a danger because of dangerous to your health materials. If dust that is danger- ous to your health can be generated, the appropriate safety measures will have to be taken prior to beginning work. Danger Risk of explosion! Do not work on light metals and iron-con- taining substances simultaneously. If you alternate between working on light metals and iron-containing parts, the work area and the suction device must be cleaned between work cycles. Danger due to dust explosion. If inflamma- ble dusts are formed during work, accumu- lations of dust must be avoided. Regularly remove dust before critical amounts are ac- cumulated. Ensure adequate ventilation while working in closed rooms in order to keep the carbon dioxide concentration in the atmospheric air in the room below the danger level. Attach the object to be cleaned if neces- sary. Danger Risk of injury on account of electro-static discharge; risk of damage to the electronic components. The object being cleaned can get charged electrically during the cleaning process. Provide suitable earthing for the object being cleaned and ensure that the earthing remains intact during the entire cleaning process. 몇 Warning Risk of injury on account of tripping and fall- ing. Lay spray agent hose and control line in a way that they do not pose a risk of stum- bling during work. Caution Risk of damage by foreign objects falling into the dry ice container. Keep cover of the dry ice container closed during operation. Connect the electrically conductive earth wire to the object to be cleaned or earth the object to be cleaned in anoth- er way. Wear safety gear, safety gloves, close fitting safety goggles and ear-protec- tion. Switch on the compressed air supply. Release emergency-stop button by turning. Set the operating type for the com- pressed air jet to "1" or dry ice jet to "2" on the operating type switch of the jet pistol. Choose a safe place to stand, assume a secure body stance to avoid being thrown off-balance by the recoil pres- sure of the jet pistol. In order to prevent the sudden recoil, a gradual increase of the jet pressure can be set up (see "Operation/Basic Set- ting", menu item "soft start"). Press in the safety knob of the jet pistol. Activate the dry ice jet by pressing the trigger of the jet pistol and carry out the cleaning operation. Note When using the Advanced jet pistol, the dosing of dry ice pellets can be switched on or off via the dry ice dosing on/off key on the jet pistol.
