Tool Set Up
TO PREVENT
SERIOUS INJURY
FROM ACCIDENTAL
OPERATION:
Turn the Power Switch of the tool
to its “OFF” position and unplug
the tool from its electrical outlet
before performing any
inspection, maintenance, or
cleaning procedures.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
DO NOT OPERATE WITH ANY
GUARD DISABLED, DAMAGED,
OR REMOVED. Moving guards
must move freely and close
instantly.
Work Piece and Work Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is applicable
for prolonged Tumbler use. The work
area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Route the power cord along a safe
route to reach the work area without
creating a tripping hazard or exposing
the power cord to possible damage. The
power cord must reach the work area
with enough extra length to allow free
movement while working.
General Operating Instructions
1. CAUTION! Always check the Tumbler
on a regular basis to make sure the
unit is running properly and is not
over-heating. Make sure that conditions
around the tumbler are unchanged, and
that the tumbler continues to operate in a
safe location.
2. Before the first use, and once a month
thereafter, put a few drops of oil on the
Driving Shaft (42) bearings.
3. Check the V-Belt (40) tension. It must
be kept as loose as possible without
allowing it to slip on the Pulley (36).
Check before each use.
4. Make sure the exterior of the Rubber
Barrel (12) is clean so that it doesn’t slip
on the rollers. Wipe it with a soapy cloth,
then wipe it clean with a damp cloth,
and dry thoroughly. Do not use liquid
cleaners or solvents.
5. Make sure that the Stop (6) is lightly
touching the Barrel Lid (9). This will
prevent the Barrel Lid from rubbing
against the housing and will reduce
friction.
6. To open the Rubber Barrel, remove the
Barrel from the unit and then remove
the Knurled Nut (7) and the Washer (8).
Next, remove the Barrel Lid (9).
7. Note: It is imperative to load the
Tumbler with the proper amount of
materials, or the process will not be
successful, and the motor could be
damaged. An underloaded barrel will not
lift rocks up the inner side walls allowing
