NOTE
With an abrasive machine, wear to critical parts is inevitable. The MicroBlaster Tune-Up Kit
contains all the parts you need to conduct routine maintenance and keep an inventory of items
that you can replace yourself. Comco recommends that these parts be replaced annually, or
every 2000 hours of operation, whichever comes first. Establishing and following a regularly
scheduled maintenance program for your equipment, can reduce costly downtime. A well
maintained MicroBlaster delivers a more consistent powder flow, minimizes processing time,
and actually saves you money by reducing powder consumption. Contact Comco’s Customer
Service Department (see section 5, page 2) and order part number MB1440 to get a Tune-Up
Kit for your MicroBlaster today.
