Extension Cords
Your tool has a three-prong plug, therefore you must use a three-prong extension cord. Only use rounded jacket
extension cords listed by the Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Improper use of extension cords may cause
inefficient operation of your tool which can result in overheating. Be sure your extension cord is rated to allow
sufficient current flow to the motor.
If you are using the tool outdoors, use an extension cord rated for outdoor use (signified by “WA” on the jacket).
The extension cord must have a minimum wire size depending on the amperage of the tool and the length of the
extension cord. This size is determined by its AWG (American Wire Gauge) rating. The smaller the gauge, the
greater the cable’s capacity. The amount of cords used does not matter: Total length determines the minimum
AWG rating. Every cord must meet the AWG rating. Use the chart below to determine what AWG rating is
required for your situation. Cord length is rated in feet. Harbor Freight Tools can supply UL listed and outdoor
rated cords in multiple AWG ratings if needed.

Assembly
Your Blast Cabinet comes unassembled. It is important that your read the entire manual to become familiar
with the unit BEFORE you use the Cabinet. Before assembling your Blast Cabinet, be sure that you have all
parts described in the Parts List on page 7.
Step 1)
If Sand Input Pipe (52) is not secured in place, fasten it into place using the appropriate
screws, washers and nuts. The Input Pipe is to be placed inside of the Funnel (58) with the
long end facing down toward the narrow end of the Funnel. Place the Net (53) on your work
bench or table. Peel off paper backing from 1" wide adhesive foam gasket and apply this to
the lip of the Net. Trim the Gasket as necessary. Punch holes in the gasket for the bolts to fit
through.
Step 2)
Lay out the cabinet wherever it is easiest to work on. Attach Legs (62) to the cabinet (see
diagram 1) by inserting bolts (M6x12) through washer, leg and washer and nut. Use lock
washers and tighten. Repeat until all four legs are attached. Each leg comes with a Molding
(63) which is attached to the bottom of the leg. Push each molding into place on the foot of
each leg.
Step 3)
Now that the legs are attached, stand the cabinet upright. Place the Net (53) onto the Funnel
(58). Using 4 M6x20 bolts, attach the Funnel with Net to the Cabinet. Insert the bolts through
the washers, through the holes in the Funnel, the Net and into the cabinet. Tighten down all
nuts and bolts.
Step 4)
Insert M6 x 12 Bolts through washers (you will need 8 of each) and into the leg and through the
shelf (59). Tighten bolts until assembly is secure and solid.
