Read the original instructions before using the device for the first time and act in accordance with it. Keep the original instructions for future reference or for future owners.
The device is used to remove dirt with dry ice pellets that are accelerated by an air jet.
The device may not be operated in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Use only dry ice pellets as jet medium. Using any other jet medium can cause damage to the device.
The air pressure reaches the jet pistol via a pressure regulation valve. The valve opens when the trigger of the jet pistol is pressed and the air flow comes out from the jet pistol. Dry ice pellets are additionally dosed into the air jet via a dosing device.
With the version "IB 7/40 Advanced" the additional dosing can be switched off at the jet pistol.
The dry ice pellets hit the surface to be cleaned and remove the dirt. The -79 °C cold dry ice pellets also create thermal stresses between the dirt and the object to be cleaned, which also contribute to the loosening of the dirt. In addition, the dry ice immediately turns into gaseous carbon dioxide when it hits the surface, thus taking up 700 times its volume. Dirt penetrated by the dry ice is blown away as a result.
During the spraying operation through the jet, a vibrator located on the dry ice container ensures continuous sliding of the dry ice pellets.
The packing materials can be recycled. Please dispose of packaging in accordance with the environmental regulations.
Electrical and electronic devices contain valuable, recyclable materials and often components such as batteries, rechargeable batteries or oil, which - if handled or disposed of incorrectly - can pose a potential danger to human health and the environment. However, these components are required for the correct operation of the device. Devices marked by this symbol are not allowed to be disposed of together with the household rubbish.

The device may only be operated by persons who have read and understood these operating instructions. In particular, all safety instructions must be observed.
Store these operating instructions so that they are available to the operator at all times.
The operator of the unit must carry out a risk assessment on site and ensure that operators are instructed.
Indication of an imminent threat of danger that will lead to severe injuries or even death.
Indication of a potentially dangerous situation that may lead to severe injuries or even death.
Indication of a potentially dangerous situation that may lead to minor injuries.
Indication of a potentially dangerous situation that may lead to damage to property.
Danger from flying dry ice pellets.
Do not point the jet gun at people. Remove third parties from the operating location and keep them away ( e.g. by barriers) during operation. Do not touch the nozzle or the dry ice jet during operation.
Risk of suffocation from carbon dioxide.
The dry ice pellets consist of solid carbon dioxide.
During operation, the carbon dioxide content of the air at the workplace increases.
Make sure there is sufficient air exchange at the workplace.
Lay the exhaust hose outdoors, for example, so that nobody is endangered by carbon dioxide.
Note: Carbon dioxide is heavier than air. Make sure that carbon dioxide does sink to lower-lying areas, for example by flowing from the outside into a basement below the workshop (flows).For longer jet work (longer than 10 minutes per day) and especially in small rooms (less than 300 m³), we recommend wearing a carbon dioxide warning device.
Signs of high levels of carbon dioxide:
In 3...5% of cases: Headache, high breathing rate.
In 7...10% of cases: Headache, nausea, possibly unconsciousness.
If these symptoms occur, switch off the device immediately and get some fresh air. Before continuing work, improve ventilation or use a breathing apparatus.
Carbon dioxide is heavier than air and collects in confined spaces, lower-lying spaces or in closed containers. Ensure adequate ventilation at the workplace.
Observe the safety specifications of the manufacturer of dry ice.
Risk of injury, risk of damage from electrostatic charging.
The cleaning object can become electrostatically charged during the cleaning process.
Ground the object to be cleaned and keep it grounded it until the cleaning process is complete.
