Shutting Down the JetMachining Center
1.
Position the nozzle between two table slats at 1 (.254 cm) to 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) above the water
surface.
2.
Allow the pump to run for 20 seconds to clean and clear all abrasives from the nozzle:
Caution:
Do not operate the abrasive waterjet for more than several seconds when the nozzle is above
the water surface at a distance greater than 1.5 inches (3.81 cm). Air entrapment in the water
increases with nozzle height, eventually allowing the jet stream to strike the tank at full force
and possibly cut a hole through the tank bottom.
