Step 1: Loading the Barrel (Coarse Grind)

1. Prepare Rocks/Sea Glass: Select rough rocks or sea glass. Ensure they are clean and dry. For best results, use a mix of sizes, but avoid pieces larger than 1 inch (2.5 cm).
2. Add to Barrel: Place the rocks or sea glass into the rubber tumbling barrel. Fill the barrel approximately 2/3 full.
3. Add Coarse Grit: Add one packet of "STEP 1 COARSE" grit to the barrel.
4. Tilsæt vand: Add water until it just covers the rocks and grit. Do not overfill.
5. Forseglingstønde: Securely place the lid onto the barrel, ensuring a tight, leak-free seal.

Step 2: Tumbling Process

1. Place Barrel: Carefully place the sealed barrel onto the tumbler base, ensuring it sits correctly on the rollers.
2. Indstil hastighed: The BRYTE Rock Tumbler features 3 adjustable speeds. Press the speed button to select your desired speed. For initial coarse grinding, a medium to high speed is generally recommended.
3. Indstil timer: Use the digital timer to set the tumbling duration. The tumbler features a 9-day timer. For the coarse grind, a duration of 3-7 days is typical, depending on the hardness of the rocks and desired smoothness.
4. Begynd at tumle: Press the power button to begin the tumbling process. The tumbler will operate continuously until the set timer expires or it is manually turned off.

Step 3: Progressing Through Grits

After each tumbling stage (Coarse, Medium, Fine), follow these steps:

1. Stop Tumbler: Turn off the tumbler and unplug it.
2. Empty Barrel: Carefully remove the barrel. Open the lid and empty the contents (rocks, grit, and water) into a mesh strainer over a bucket. Dispose of the used grit and water responsibly; do not pour down drains as it can cause clogs.
3. Clean Rocks & Barrel: Thoroughly rinse the rocks and the inside of the barrel under running water until all grit residue is removed. Ensure no grit from the previous stage remains, as this can contaminate the next stage and hinder polishing.
4. Repeat Steps 1 & 2: Return the cleaned rocks to the barrel. Add the next finer grit packet (STEP 2 MEDIUM, then STEP 3 FINE, then STEP 4 POLISH) and fresh water. Reseal the barrel and place it back on the tumbler. Set the timer for the recommended duration for each stage (typically 5-7 days for medium and fine, 7-9 days for polish).

The self-cooling premium motor ensures efficient operation throughout the long polishing cycles.
