OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
After unpacking the case tumbler, set the unit on a solid, level surface to operate. To
remove the lid, unscrew the nut located in the center of the lid. The cleaning bowl is
engineered to create a fast internal cyclonic action. For best results, the bowl should be
at least half full with dry media. Then, load with cases. The unit will hold approximately
400 .38 Special cases, 180 .30-06 cases or the equivalent amount of other sized
cases. The best ratio of cases and media will be determined by you as you use the unit.
Replace the lid and tighten the nut in the center of the lid. Plug the power cord into the
electrical outlet, turn the on/off switch to the “on” position and the unit will start the
vibrating action. Running time will be determined by the condition of the cases and the
degree of cleanliness desired.
To empty the bowl, first turn the unit off and unplug the power cord. Then remove the
lid by unscrewing the nut in the center of the lid. Next, simply turn the entire unit upside
down to pour the contents into a container. Again, be sure to unplug the unit from the
electrical outlet. Separating the media from the cases can be made easier with the
use of the 050208 Media Sifter available from your local sporting goods retailer or at
hornady.com.
Do not attempt to make any adjustments or repairs to the electrical system of the Case
Tumbler. Contact the Customer Service Department at Hornady for this service.
