SET-UP CABINET FOR USE
• The inlet air supply must have a moisture separator capable of removing all moisture and impurities from the air supply. Moisture and/or oil in the air
supply will cause clumping and clogging of the media.
• A suitable regulator must be used to limit incoming air pressure to 90 PSI maximum, 80 PSI is ideal. Excessive air pressure can cause permanent damage
to the unit.
• For best results, safety and visibility a heavy-duty type vacuum with 1.0 to 2.0 peak horsepower is strongly recommended.
• Slip a 1-1/2” vacuum hose over the Vacuum Elbow at the rear of the cabinet.
•
NOTE:
Only a light amount of negative pressure needs to be generated in order to keep a dust cloud form forming in the cabinet.
• To avoid vacuum damage, operate the blast cabinet with a properly fi ltered shop-type, dust collecting vacuum. (Eastwood #20098 Rockford Shop Vacuum
works great). If dust is seeping out of your vacuum fi lter, stop immediately! This is a serious health hazard and will prematurely burn out your vacuum
motor. Purchase and install a fi ne particulate fi lter for your particular brand of shop-type vacuum to capture these dust particles.
• Add Eastwood approved Blast Media. Fill to within 1/2” of the cabinet fl ange. Overfi lling will degrade performance.
DO NOT USE SAND IN THIS BLAST CABINET!
•
NOTE:
For best results and to avoid nozzle clogging, do not use media larger than 60 grit particle size.
TO DRAIN BLAST MEDIA FROM BLAST CABINET:
• Disconnect air supply to Blast Cabinet.
• Loosen and remove large 15mm Nut from underside of Hopper Panel.
• Pull out Cross-Drilled Abrasive Pickup Fitting.
• Allow media to drain.
• Replace Cross-Drilled Abrasive Pickup Fitting.
• Replace large 15mm nut and washer then tighten securely.
