3.0 OPERATION 

 

3.1 

Transporting and moving

 

 

3.1.1 

Transporting a blast machine 

 
3.1.1.1

  Always empty the machine before transporting. 

Transporting a machine containing abrasive may 
increase the weight to an unsafe handling limit, and 
could cause abrasive to settle in the piping. 
 

 

WARNING 

 

Always empty the blast machine before 

transporting. 

 

Never hoist the machine by the handle or 

piping, or with a sling through the handle or 
piping. 

 

When transporting a machine on a pallet, 

always securely attach the machine to a sturdy 
pallet. 

 

Always securely anchor the machine to the 

transport vehicle. 

 

Failure to observe these warnings could 

result in serious injury or death.

 

 

 
3.1.2 

Moving a blast machine 

 

 

WARNING 

Never manually move a blast machine when it 
contains abrasive. Empty machines may be 
moved when the following criteria are met. 

 

3.1.2.1 

An empty machine may be moved manually, on 

level flat surfaces. 
 

3.1.2.2 

Move the machine by pushing it in a forward 

direction. Do not back-up while moving the machine, as 
potential tripping hazards may be out of view. 

 
3.2 Set-up 

 

3.2.1

  Locate the compressor upwind and/or away 

from the blasting operation to prevent contaminated air 
from entering the compressor intake. 

 
3.2.2 

Connect a 3/4" ID or larger air line from the 

compressor to the inlet coupling. NOTE: If the air line 
supplies air to other pneumatic tools, install an isolation 
valves to enable depressurization of each line for 
service.  

Place optional wetblast 
attachment on nozzle holder, 
and secure 

Connect garden hose 

to swivel adapter
