MASTER PROBLAST 3 ESD
9. Regulate air pressure by turning the air regulator knob. Unlock by pulling up the knob then
turn. Pressure reading will indicate pressure. DO NOT adjust above 100 psi (7 BARS).
10. To engage the ESD air flow, turn the valve on the rear of the unit for
the ESD air supply. Any time full ESD protection is required, this valve
must be on. The gauge should read roughly 30 psi before depressing
foot pedal and can be changed by removing the tamper-resistant
knob. This can be adjusted to increase flow by removing the snap-ring on the regulator knob,
adjusting, and replacing the snap ring.
11. Turn the red power switch on the ESD power supply on, it will light when connected correctly.
Both the power supply and the blaster's light cord must be connected to a properly grounded
wall plug or cable.
12. To begin blasting, use the foot pedal to start the flow of air and blasting media. Release the
foot pedal to stop the flow.
13. A dust collector is strongly recommended to contain the dust inside the cabinet:
-120V Abrasive-Vac Dust Collector
P/N 10660
-220V Abrasive-Vac Dust Collector
P/N 10664
MAINTENANCE
Vaniman blasters are designed to be low maintenance. However, as the materials used in a
microblaster are abrasive by design, components do wear out. A few minor areas should be
maintained regularly for a long product life.
Handpieces Hoses:
Check handpiece hoses for wear regularly. When hose feels thin or holes develop, the tubing
should be replaced.
On the rear of IO/Master units, there is a pinch valve that controls the flow of media by squeezing
andreleasing the handpiece tube. This will be the point of highest wear on the tubing and
therefore the hose should be moved periodically in order to wear a new section of hose. If a
hole develops, replace the tubing.
Handpiece Tip Installation:
It is imperative that the handpiece tip and sealing o-ring be installed correctly and securely
to avoid damage or leaks. Install in the manner shown in Illustration 1 and ensure the tip and
o-ring sit evenly in the assembly.
Tanks:
When installing the lids on the tanks, be sure the lid is rid of any blasting material or debris.
If the tank or lid begins to wear, replace immediately. Do not over-tighten the lid on the unit.
The fittings on the bottom of the tank are designed for easy maintenance of the hoses. To
remove a handpiece tubing from quick disconnect fitting, push toward the tank on the plastic
ring while pulling the tubing out. Do not remove the hose fittings while tank is full of media
and upright; turn the tank upside down or empty before removing hoses. To replace, be sure
the fitting and hose are free of debris or abrasives and push the hose firmly into the fitting. Be
sure the tube reaches beyond the black o-ring that is just above the quick disconnect fitting
in the tank. Improper installation will result in leakage and damage to the tanks.
