Before starting the operation
Congratulations on your new Rustibus de-scaling machine. In order to ensure your full benefit and safety of operation we recommend you to read this operation manual carefully before starting. Always lift up machine in order for chain drum to rotate freely when starting the machine.

(i) Make sure all safety measurements are being considered.
(ii) Confirm correct voltage before connecting cable to supply.
(iii) Check oil level container for the air powered machine if applicable.
(iv) Start and stop the machine and check that rotation is correct according to marking on machine.
(v) Make sure the cable is properly connected and safely located for your operation.
(vi) Scaling can start. Run machine forward and backward to achieve the best result.
(vii) Do not run machine over sharp edges, but along these. The chain drum will last longer by working the machine with care.
(viii) If the operations of the machine tend to be too rough, the el. Motor may be overloaded and the thermal protection will disconnect power supply. If this occurs, wait for three minutes and push “0” button and the “1” button to start again. This
will reset the thermal relay.
(ix) When only two links are left on the chains, the drum should be removed from machine for replacement of chains.
