General Operating Instructions
1. Connect the air compressor hose to the Hose Inlet Fitting.
2. Turn on the vacuum of the dust collection system (if equipped, sold separately).
Note:
When using a vacuum dust collector, clean the filter periodically to maintain adequate suction and effectiveness of the
vacuum.
3. Open the Door of the Blast Cabinet and place the workpiece in the center of the Cabinet.
4. Close the door and secure the Door Latches.
5. Set the compressor′s air pressure between 90 and 100 PSI.
6. Place your hands into the Gloves inside the Cabinet. Make sure your fingers are in the proper positions and that you can
easily move your hands and grip objects.
7. Hold the workpiece in one hand, positioning your fingers so that the glove is not in the way of the area you will be
blasting. While working, reposition your grip as needed to ensure that all areas of the workpiece will be contacted with the
blast material.
8. Grip the Blasting Gun with the other hand and point the nozzle at the bottom of the Cabinet.
9. Squeeze the trigger.
10. Check that the abrasive media is flowing through the suction hose with no leaks. Release the trigger and correct any
leaks if needed. Otherwise begin blasting the workpiece.
WARNING! Do not aim the nozzle at your fingers or the Blast Gloves. If Gloves are punctured or you feel air blowing
in the Glove, replace them immediately. Do not use a damaged or punctured Glove.
11. If the tool requires more force to accomplish the task, verify that the tool receives sufficient, unobstructed airflow (CFM)
and increase the pressure (PSI) output of the regulator up to the maximum air pressure rating of this tool.
CAUTION! TO PREVENT INJUR Y FROM TOOL OR ACCESSOR Y FAILURE:
Do not exceed the tool's maximum air pressure rating.
If the tool still does not have sufficient force at maximum pressure and sufficient airflow, then a larger tool may be required.
12. When finished, or to check the progress of your blasting: a. Release the trigger, lay the workpiece on the Grate of the
Cabinet and remove your hands from the gloves.
b. Turn off the compressor and dust collection system (if equipped). Wait for the air inside the Cabinet to clear.
c. Open the Cabinet door and remove the workpiece. If the workpiece needs more blasting, resume from step 4 of these
operating instructions.
13. To prevent accidents, release the trigger, detach the air supply, then squeeze and release the trigger once more to safely
discharge any residual air pressure in the tool. Empty the Hopper of blast media (see User - Maintenance Instructions section
on page 12). Clean external surfaces of the tool with a clean, dry cloth. Then store the tool indoors out of children's reach.
User- Maintenance Instructions
Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed only by a qualified technician.
ACC IDENTAL OPERATION:
Turn off the tool, detach the air supply, safely discharge any residual air pressure in the tool, and release the trigger before
performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
TO SERIOUS INJUR Y FROM TOOL FAILURE:
Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise, vibration, or leaking air occurs, have the problem corrected before
furthe r use.
Cleaning, Maintenance, and Lubrication
Note: These procedures are in addition to the regular checks and maintenance explained as part of the regular operation of
the air - operated tool.
1. Daily - Air Supply Maintenance: Every day, maintain the air supply according to the component
manufacturers' instructions. Drain the moisture filter regularly. Performing routine air supply maintenance will allow the tool
to operate more safely and will also reduce wear on the tool.
2. After use, empty the Hopper of blast media:
CAUTION! Wear ANSI - approved Safety Goggles and NIOSH - approved dust mask/respirator when emptying the
abrasive media.
a. Place a container (sold separately), which is large enough to hold all the blast media, under the mouth of the Hopper.
b. Turn the Hopper Hook on the Hopper Square to open the Hopper and allow all the abrasive media to flow into the
container.
c. Close the Hopper Square.
