Assembly
1.
Mount the wheels (16) to the axle (25), first place a washer (not on parts list) on both sides
of the wheel and accordingly a cotter pin (14).
2.
Place the hose (21) over the tailpiece (23) on the bottom of the tank and secure the hose
with the hose clamp (22).
3.
Mount the blasting gun (24) to the hose
(21)and secure it with the hose clamp (22).
4.
Mount the 3/8” euro coupler (2, fig.1) to the
pressure regulator (1), use Teflon tape.
5.
Mount the pressure meter (3) to the pressure
regulator (4), use Teflon tape.

Operation
Preparation
1.
Before you can start sandblasting make sure the work piece is free of oil, water and
moisture, make sure the work piece is dry and clean.
2.
Set the work pressure of the compressed air between 4 and 6.5bar, 8.6 bar is the maximum
work pressure, grit breaks down faster with a higher work pressure.
ADVICE: Start with a
working pressure of 4 bar, most work pieces can be blasted easily with this pressure. For
light steel, aluminum and other fine work pieces you can better start at a low working
pressure and if necessary adjust the pressure higher for the optimal result.
3.
The blasting grit should be of good quality, but it is probably even more important for it to be
moist free. Moist grit clutters, which causes a bad flow and clogging.
4.
You can also choose to use a bigger or smaller size nozzle. A bigger size nozzle gets the job
done faster because it can blast a larger surface, this also causes a higher air consumption,
make sure the compressor can handle it.
Operation
1.
Keep the blasting gun at an angle of 45-60° towards the work piece at a distance of 10-15cm.
Never hold the gun in a 90° angle toward the work piece, this causes the grit to rebound back
into the spray, which causes a less effective spray. This also causes extra wear to the gun and
viewing glass.
2.
The blasting gun should always point away from the operator towards the work piece.
3.
Before placing/removing a work piece , make sure to turn off the compressed air supply by
closing the air valve.
4.
Maintenance
WARNING! Before performing maintenance, remove the plug from the power source, failure to
heed this instruction may cause electrocution. Close the valve of the compressed air supply.
