    Ensuring that the cleaning device is depressurized

    To ensure that the cleaning device is depressurized, try to briefly activate the cleaning device without the compressed air supply. To do this, proceed as follows:
    1Take protective measures:
    • The cleaning cutter, lifting device, gas nozzle clamping device, wire cutter, and parting-agent injection nozzle could be activated. Therefore, keep your body, especially hands, face and hair, as well as objects and all items of clothing, away from the aforementioned parts.
    • Wear hearing protection.
    • Wear protective goggles with side protection.
    2Ensure that the cleaning device is disconnected from the compressed air supply.
    3Set the “Start cleaning” screw on the cleaning device to position “1” (activated) for max. 2 seconds and then return to the starting position “0” (deactivated).
    • If the cleaning device does not respond to the activation of the “Start cleaning” function, the cleaning device is free of compressed air.
    • If the cleaning device responds to the activation of the “Start cleaning” function, the cleaning device is still connected to the compressed air supply.
      In this case, the cleaning device must be disconnected from the compressed air supply before starting any work. Finally, ensure that the cleaning device is depressurized.
