You will need a step down transformer, this changes 240V AC to 110V AC, which this machine will operate on.
Don't try to plug it into our electricity supply directly - it will blow up!!
I have found one at Jaycar for $99, but have not bought one yet.
You will also need some polishing/tumbling media. I will be purchasing some crushed walnut shells to use (eBay again).
When you have all the above, fill the bowl to say about 1/2 full. Secure the lid and start the motor. You
should hear it going (vibrating). Turn the machine off, put some coins in (about 5 maybe a couple more),
secure the lid and start the machine.
I intend to put it on a timer, so that if I leave it for a while and forget about it, it will automatically turn off.
Not sure exactly how long to set the timer for yet, but will try 1/2 hr run time and check the progress of the cleaning.
I did see a uTube video on this somewhere, maybe stumbled on a link through this forum, but not really sure.
Hope this helps mate.
Cheers. Monty.
