1. At the end of day 4, open the barrel and inspect the rocks. If they are rounded down to your
liking, pour the rocks into the strainer held over a bucket and rinse the grit off with water.
It is best to do this outdoors. If you want the rocks more rounded, close the barrel and keep
tumbling until they are rounded to your liking.
2. Thoroughly rinse any leftover grit from the barrel before moving on to the next stage.
3. Repeat the process of tumbling the rocks three more times, with the stage 2, stage 3, and
stage 4 grit packets, in this order. Refer to the suggested times in the table below.
4. After tumbling the rocks with the stage 4 grit, they will be smooth and polished.
5. Optional: To make them even shinier, use some mineral oil. Dip a cloth or paper towel in
mineral oil and wipe down the rocks with it, removing any excess oil.
1. Do not overload the barrel.
If there are too many rocks in the barrel, there won’t be enough space for them to tumble
and smooth each other out. The barrel has a 1-lb capacity. The rock tumbler’s motor may
stop running if the barrel is too heavy. For best results, fill the barrel up to one-half to two-
thirds of its capacity.
2. Do not make the hex handle too tight before tumbling.
The hex handle may get tighter during the tumbling action making it harder to unscrew
later.
3. Test your rocks before moving to the next stage.
At the end of any stage, wash a few rocks from the barrel to see if you’re satisfied with the
smoothness, before changing the grit. If you feel the need to, put the rocks back in and
tumble for some more time.
4. For rounder rocks, spend more time in stage 1.
The tumbling times provided in this manual are recommendations. Feel free to move to the
next stage only when you are happy with the results.
5. Tumbling times will vary.
Depending on the hardness of the rocks and how rounded you want your tumbled rocks to
be, the amount of tumbling time needed will vary. Experiment, observe, and learn!

6. This rock tumbler is equipped with over-current protection. If the current exceeds 600-
700mA under any circumstances, the motor will stop and the ! LED will light up. In such
cases, pause the tumbler and check if anything is obstructing the movement of the rollers;
for example, the rubber belt on the pulleys. If everything looks good, press Start/Pause to
resume tumbling.
DO NOT rinse the rocks in a sink, tub, or toilet. The grit particles can damage plumbing.
