3.2
Loading and Unloading Parts
WARNING
Use solid fixturing to hold heavy parts in place.
Do not remove lift equipment until the part is
adequately supported to prevent movement.
Moving heavy, unsupported parts may cause
them to shift or topple, and cause severe injury.
This is especially important with the use of
turntables and turntables with tracks.
3.2.1
Load and unload parts through either door.
3.2.2
Parts must be free of oil, water, grease, or other
contaminants that will cause media to clump, or clog filters.
3.2.3
When blasting very small parts, place an
appropriately sized screen over the grate to prevent
parts from falling into the hopper.
3.2.4
Close door. Be certain doors are sealed
securely, or door interlock system will prevent blasting.
3.3 Blasting
Operation
CAUTION
•
Always close cabinet, reclaimer and dust
collector doors before blasting. Keep all
doors closed during blasting.
•
Always wear blast gloves.
•
Avoid pointing the blast nozzle toward the
view window.
•
Use the blow-off nozzle to blow media off
parts before doors are opened, or exhauster
is switched off.
•
After blasting, keep doors closed and
exhauster on until the cabinet is clear of all
airborne dust.
•
Stop blasting immediately if dust leaks are
detected.
3.3.1
Slowly open the air valve on the air supply hose
to the cabinet. Check for air leaks.
3.3.2
Turn on the lights and exhauster. The on/off
switch performs both functions.
3.3.3
Adjust the pilot pressure regulator located in the
light shield, to the required blast pressure per Section
4.1.
3.3.4
Load parts.
3.3.5
Close door. Be certain doors are sealed
securely, or door interlock system will prevent blasting.
3.3.6
Insert hands into gloves.
3.3.7
To blast; hold the gun firmly and apply pressure
to the foot pedal; blasting will begin immediately.
WARNING
Shut down the cabinet immediately if dust
discharges from the collector or bag. Check
that filters are correctly seated and not worn or
damaged. Prolonged breathing of any dust
could result in serious lung disease or death.
Short term ingestion of toxic dust such as lead,
poses an immediate danger to health. Toxicity
and health risk vary with type of media and dust
generated by blasting. Identify all material being
removed by blasting, and obtain a material
safety data sheet for the blast media.
NOTE: When blasting small parts, use a solid back rest
for the part. Without this assist, especially with longer
blasting operations, the operator will tire easily from
resisting blast pressure. Whenever possible avoid
holding small parts that will require blasting into the
glove.
3.3.8
When blasting very small parts, place an
appropriately sized screen over the grate to prevent
parts from falling into the hopper. Should an object fall
through the grate, stop blasting immediately and retrieve
it.
3.4 Stop
Blasting
3.4.1
To stop blasting, remove pressure on the foot
pedal.
3.4.2
Use the blow-off nozzle to blow media off
cleaned parts. Allow the exhauster to clear the cabinet of
airborne dust before opening the door.
3.4.3
Unload parts, shut off the air supply valve, drain
the air filter, and switch off the lights and exhauster.
