Operation
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, always protect eyes
and face with goggles and mask, and hands and
arms with heavy work gloves when spraying abra-
sive materials.
Place the sand induction probe in the sand supply
container.
To Sandblast
1. Connect and open the water supply line before
starting the pressure washer.
2. Trigger the gun to relieve air in the equipment.
3. Start the pressure washer. See its instruction
manual.
4. Trigger the gun to activate the spray.
CAUTION
Always test spray on a scrap of similar material first!
The high pressure spray could damage the surface if
the sandblaster is held too close. See Step 5, below.
5. To check the distance you will need to hold the spray
nozzle from the surface, start to spray at the scrap of
material from a distance of several feet.
Gradually
move closer, checking frequently to see if
the high pressure spray is damaging the surface.
6. See the APPLICATION on page 5 for the type of
sand recommended for your work surface.
Always point the sand nozzle downward when not
spraying. This prevents water from entering the sand
supply. If water does get into the sand supply hose,
remove the probe from the sand, hold the gun trigger
open, and let the hose air dry. Always be sure the sand
hose is dry before using.
Keep the sand covered to prevent the overspray from
wetting the sand.
Do not allow small pieces of the sand bag to fall into the
sand supply. A small paper piece could prevent the flow
of sand.
NOTE:
To extend the life of the tungsten carbide sand
nozzle (3) rotate the nozzle 45
_
after every 15
minutes of use.
Sand Saver Operation (Optional)
The spring--loaded collar on the Sand--Saver rotates to
give four different rates of sand injection. From setting
number 1, (maximum sand injection) to setting number 4,
(minimum sand injection).
By experimenting with the different settings on your
Sand--Saver during sandblasting you can determine
which setting is the most economical for the job. See the
table below for approximate sand usage per minute at
each setting.

* Sand injection was calibrated using standard 20’ length
of sand hose. Added length to sand hose will decrease
sand usage.
Shutdown
After the sandblasting operation is complete, remove the
probe from the sand, trigger the gun to clear the hose and
probe of sand. Then, remove the hose from the mixing
head and rinse with water to remove all the sand before
storage.
Before using the gun for other applications, be sure to
reinstall the tip and male quick coupler.
