2. Always check for cracks and leaks in the hose, fittings, and storage tank. These problems
must be fixed immediately due to the dangers involved with air under pressure.
3. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears to be damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it would operate properly and perform its intended
functions. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts, for broken parts or mounting
fixtures, or for any other condition that may affect proper operation.
NOTE:
Internal components of the unit will wear out after repeated exposure to the blasting process.
When the unit’s performance declines, have the unit serviced by a qualified technician.
4. Use only identical replacement parts or accessories intended for use with this tool when
servicing. Replace damaged parts immediately.
5. Keep the tool clean. Wipe the tool with a clean cloth and periodically blow out all areas with
compressed air. If compressed air is not available, use a brush to remove dust from areas.
Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents to clean the tool. These chemicals could seriously
damage the housing.
6. After each use of the unit, perform the routine maintenance to your air compressor according
to the compressor manufacturer’s instruction manual.
7. If repairs are required, bring your tool to Princess Auto Ltd.
Plugged conditions
All blasting systems are prone to plugging or wear because of the abrasive material used. The blast
nozzle may become plugged from moist media. Try dislodging the media with a drill bit held in your
hand. You will need to discard the moist media.
The media must be kept dry. Provided the media is wet, it will easily cake and block the media flow
channel. In this situation, take out the pickup tube (11) and ceramic nozzle (21) and clean them. If the
media flow rate clearly decreases, shake the storage tank (1) by hand to decrease the media adherence
and acquire a better spray effect.
WeAr conditions
This is usually noted when an excessive amount of dust appears while blasting. Dust will occur if:
1. The abrasive blasting media is worn out. If it has lost its granular or spherical appearance or
has a lot of debris mixed in from the parts being blasted, replace the abrasive blasting media.
This is usually noticed when the abrasive media that exits the nozzle resembles more of a
cloud than a stream.
2. The nozzle may wear out. This is usually evident when the blast pattern is too wide and
ineffective; simply replace the nozzle or orifice.
cleAning
1. Disconnect the unit from the air source.
2. Pour the remaining abrasive blasting media into another container.
3. Detach the media outlet hose (19) from the On/Off valve (18).
4. Using your air compressor, blow air through the media outlet hose (19) to dislodge any
residual abrasive blasting media in the hose.
NOTE:
Direct the air flow of the media outlet hose (19) into the container holding the excess
blasting media in order to contain the residual dust.
