ATTENTION!
Always close cabinet and, dust collector doors before blasting. Keep all
doors closed during blasting.
Always wear blast gloves.
Avoid pointing the blast nozzle toward the view window.
Use the blow-off nozzle to blow media off parts before opening doors.
After blasting, keep doors closed and exhauster on until the cabinet is
clear of all airborne dust.
Stop blasting immediately if dust leaks are detected.
4.2.4. Blasting operation
Always wear rubber blasting gloves while operating the blast cabinet. Open the
compressed air supply to the blast cabinet. On the initial start up check for air leaks. Turn
on/ off switch to the position “I” to switch on the lights and Àlter pulse cleaning (option).
Push button ON to switch on the exhauster. Insert hands through the holes in the front
door. Firmly grasp the blast gun and step on the foot pedal. Blasting will begin immediately.
Adjust blast pressure using pilot regulator located on the control panel. Pressure gauge on
the control panel shows actual blast pressure value. Most effective blasting techniques are
smooth continuous strokes. The distance from the part affects size of blast pattern. Normal
practice places the nozzle approximately 70 to 150mm from the surface of the part.
ATTENTION!
Shut down the cabinet immediately if dust discharges from the collector.
Check that Àlters are correctly seated and not worn or damaged.
Prolonged breathing of any dust could result in serious lung disease
or death. Short term ingestion of toxic dust such as lead, poses an
immediate danger to health. Toxicity and health risk vary with dust
generated by blasting. Identify all material being removed by blasting, and
obtain a material safety data sheet for the media.
