Close and latch the door at all times prior to operating the cabinet.
Clean up all spills; sand particles are very slippery.
When using your Blasting Cabinet, a 5 HP compressor is recommended. A fine grade of abrasive is
recommended to prevent clogging.
Step 1)
Select the appropriate nozzle for your needs. The Sand Input Hose (50) feeds from the Sand
Input Pipe (52-Assembly step 1) and is attached to the front of the Gun (48). The Air Input (49)
is attached to the base of the Gun. This part of the Gun is fitted with 1/4" threads which will fit
most air hoses. At the front right side of the Cabinet is the opening Grommet (42), for the air
input hose from your compressor. Connect your hose to the bottom handle of the Gun with
either a quick connect fitting or by use of a hose clamp, and a barb fitting on the Gun.
Step 2)
Set the compressor’s pressure regulator to 40-80 PSI. Do not set the regulator above the
Maximum PSI.
Step 3)
Open the door and place the material you are working with in the center of the Cabinet. Close
latches SECURELY.
Step 4)
Place your hands into the Rubber Gloves (46) inside the Cabinet. Make certain your fingers
are in the proper positions and that you can easily move your hands and grip things.
Step 5)
Grip the Gun with one hand. Point the Nozzle at the bottom of the Cabinet and operate the gun
for a moment to make certain everything is working correctly. If leaking is detected,
disconnect the air hose and have it repaired before using.
Step 6)
Hold the material you are working with in your other hand. Position your fingers so that the
Rubber Glove is not in the way of the area you are blasting. You may have to reposition your
fingers many different times during the blasting to ensure that you have blasted every area of
your material.
Step 7)
Press the trigger of the Gun to begin blasting. Aim the nozzle directly at the surface of the
material. Bring the nozzle to within 2 inches of the material if necessary. Move the gun in a
side-to-side or circular motion, always making sure that your fingers are not in the way.
WARNING:
Do not aim the nozzle at your fingers, the Rubber Gloves or the Light.
Step 8)
To check on the progress of your blasting, remove your hand from the gun first and pull your
hand from the glove. Remove your other hand. Once gun is OFF, open the door and inspect
your material. If necessary to continue blasting, follow previous steps as necessary.
Step 9)
Once completed, remove your hands from the gloves and shut off the compressor. Open the
door and remove your material.
Note:
Your Blaster Cabinet has fitting for your shop vacuum in order to remove any dust created by
blasting. When using the vacuum, a paper filter should be placed over the standard filter.
