This document outlines the assembly, operation, and maintenance of the CHICAGO Electric Power Tools Vibratory Tumbler, Model 93252. This tool is designed for dry polishing applications and is particularly effective for various finishing tasks, including rust removal, deburring, polishing, and cleaning small parts.
The Vibratory Tumbler operates by using a vibrating action to process items within a drum filled with polishing media. This process is ideal for achieving a smooth finish, removing surface imperfections, and cleaning a variety of materials. Unlike wet tumblers, this device is specifically designed for dry media, making it suitable for tasks where water-based processing is not desired or appropriate. The tumbler's design allows for efficient processing of small and hard-to-reach parts, making it a versatile tool for hobbyists and professionals alike. The vibratory action ensures that the media consistently interacts with the items, leading to uniform results. The device is equipped with a power switch for easy operation and a secure lid mechanism to contain the contents during use.
Before operating the tumbler, it is crucial to read and understand all safety warnings and precautions outlined in the manual. The work area should be kept clean, well-lit, and free of obstructions to prevent accidents. Always wear ANSI approved safety impact eye goggles, a full face shield, and heavy work gloves to protect against potential hazards. The tumbler should only be used on a solid, level surface to ensure stability during operation.
To begin, fill the tumbler bowl approximately two-thirds full with the chosen polishing media. The manual recommends various types of dry media, such as plastic beads, ground corn cobs, and walnut shells, which are available from Harbor Freight Tools. It is important to note that ceramic or other very hard media should not be used in this tumbler, as they can cause excessive wear on the bowl. Metal parts can be added to the bowl, up to a maximum of 5 pounds of total material (including media). Overfilling should be avoided, as it can slow down the polishing process. If the tumbler runs too slowly, some items should be removed. Conversely, not having enough media can damage parts.
Once the media and parts are loaded, place the cover on the tumbler bowl, ensuring the gasket is correctly seated. Secure the cover firmly with the washer and wing nut. Then, press the power switch to the "ON" position.
The type of media and tumbling time will vary depending on the desired outcome:
A critical safety precaution is to allow dust to settle before opening the tumbler after use. Tumbling often creates dust that can be harmful if inhaled. Therefore, it is recommended to wait at least one hour after turning off the tumbler before opening it. Never operate the tumbler with the top off, as this can create hazardous dust and may eject media or work materials.
After the tumbling process is complete, move the power switch to the "OFF" position before opening the tumbler and retrieving the processed items.
Proper maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and safe operation of the Vibratory Tumbler.
By adhering to these usage and maintenance guidelines, users can ensure the safe and effective operation of their Vibratory Tumbler for a wide range of dry polishing and finishing tasks.
