NOTE: To ensure proper operation, unit must be placed on flat surface. If required place shims under legs to keep unit level. Failing to do so may cause hood to close incorrectly and thus not seal properly.

III) START UP/BREAK IN

1) Remove air supply. 2) Open hood. 3) Fill Hopper with abrasive.

Important: Do Not fill above ¾ of hopper.

Note: A) All sand should be dry and uniformly graded

B) Ensure there is no sand built up on seals while filling, clean and remove all abrasive material from foam seal.

4) Prepare your part to be sandblasted and make sure the hood is closed.

Note: Make sure your compressor is on and connected to the Sandblaster.

5) Wait for the pressure in the compressor tank to build up 80 PSI or more.

Warning: Never operate your Sandblaster above 125 PSI.

6) While holding gun, pull trigger to administer sand.

Note: Before sandblasting, read all caution and warning decals.

7 OF 11

YOU ARE NOW READY TO SANDBLAST!!!

7) Operating Tips:

7.1 Abrasive: You can use any suitable, clean sand, glass or metal beads, Aluminum Oxide, walnut shells, etc.

7.2 Mask workpiece surfaces not needing sandblasting in a suitable manner.

7.3 Ensure Hood is in place when operating your Sandblaster. (Ensure proper sealing)

7.4 The effectiveness of the blaster is increased by holding the nozzle as close to

the area being cleaned as possible.

7.5 Move the blaster in steady, even strokes over the area to keep sandblasting surface even.

7.6 After blasting, clean surface with blow gun (optional kit) or brush to remove

any abrasive that may be remaining on the part.

7.7 Refinish promptly after sandblasting as newly sandblasted metal surface is more susceptible to corrosion.

IV) TO STOP SANDBLASTING 1) Remove finger from gun trigger. 2) Close ball valve on air supply for fixed gun. (for optional fixed gun kit) 3) Disconnect air supply.

V) TO EMPTY SANDBLASTER

1) Follow instruction IV. 2) Find a suitable container to collect abrasive. 3) Place a container under hopper trap. 4) Open trap.

VI) POINTS TO REMEMBER

1) If sand or abrasives become clogged in gun, disconnect air supply and unscrew nozzle on gun. Clean out as necessary.

2) Always operate with trigger fully open or fully closed. 3) Make sure you use the right abrasive and nozzle.

For Course Abrasive use 5/16 nozzle orifice. For Fine Abrasive use 1/4 nozzle orifice.

4) Replace worn nozzle as required.

NOTE: Replace nozzle after the orifice has worn to more that 1.50 times its original diameter or the pressure drops and cannot build up to 80 PSI.
