2. ABRASIVE MEDIA (Not Included)
3. WORK AREA
•
Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit. The work area
must not allow access by children or pets to prevent distraction
and injury.
•
Route the air hose along a safe route to reach the work area
without creating a tripping hazard or exposing the air hose to
possible damage.
•
Place the object(s) to be sandblasted in an area suitable for
its size and shape. This will minimise over-spray and collect
abrasive media for re-use.
Filling the Sandblaster
Ceramic Nozzles
Work Piece and Work Area Set Up Guide
1. Pour in the abrasive media
to be used. Ensure that the
abrasive is dry and clean.
Do not fill the abrasive
media higher than the
opening, but enough so the
supply is not interrupted,
when spraying.
1. Select the ceramic nozzle (4, 5, 6, or 7mm) to produce the jet
required for the abrasive media being used.
Note:
The smaller the ceramic nozzle the finer the spray.
WARNING!:
ONLY USE ABRASIVE MEDIA EXPRESSLY
LABELLED FOR SANDBLASTING USE.
Note:
Use appropriate abrasive such as: Garnet, Steel Grit,
Glass Bead abrasive or Pecan Shells.
WARNING!:
THE BLASTING MEDIUM WILL ACCUMULATE
AND COVER ITEMS NEAR THE BLASTING AREA,
POSSIBLY DAMAGING FINISHES OR CONTAMINATING
MOVING PARTS. PLACE THE COMPRESSOR IN ANOTHER
AREA TO PREVENT IT FROM BEING DAMAGED.
Note:
Change the abrasive media regularly as it loses its
effectiveness after a while.
Note:
There are no hard or fast rules governing the ceramic
nozzle sizes and air pressure used with different abrasive
media. With experience and experimentation you will
quickly learn the best combination for the required result.
Note:
The higher the air pressure, the faster material is removed.
