OPERATION
Operating
Check and make sure that all wear & tear parts are in good condition. If there are any doubts,
replace them immediately. Check the power cables.
Connect the HORNET® with the hose to the Dust Collector. It is important, that there are no
lesions or holes in the whole length of the hose. Even small holes or a wrong connection can
significantly decrease the performance of the dust collector.
Connect the power cables of the HORNET® and the Dust Collector to the sockets. Insulation
tape or similar can be used to secure the power cable to the hose.
Check the floor for screws, nuts or stones etc., and sweep the floor if necessary, with a brush or
a vacuum system. Small obstacles like joints pose no problems for the HORNET®. If there are
bigger steps or similar check if it is possible for the machine to drive over them before the
turbine is switched on.
In the case of higher steps, difficult joints or severe undulation of the floor it is possible, that the
blast opening of the machine rises too far above the floor. The sealing of the Shot blaster
becomes ineffective and shot escapes from the machine at high speed. This can cause injury to
persons and equipment. Before operating always check the condition of the floor to prevent this
from occurring.
Remove the separator lid. Make sure that the shot valve is closed and pour in the shot until it
reaches the level of the sieve. Do not fill above the sieve level as suction from the Dust
Collector will suck it away with the dust. Only place new or clean shot in the shot compartment.
Clean the sieve in the shot compartment if it is blocked.
Switch the Dust Collector on.
Switch the turbine on.
Push the shot valve lever on the right side of the handle. The HORNET® will start to blast the
floor. Pull or push the machine in the direction you want. If the machine stays still on one spot, it
will blast a hole in the floor!
