KEEP INSTRUCTION MANUAL IN A SAFE PLACE UPON OPENING YOUR NEW UNIT.
For Replacement Parts, Technical Troubleshooting or Sales & Services, please call
1-800-874-6625 and a representative will assist you.
WARNING:
1. Tempered safety glass may break during operation. Replace only with tempered
glass 5 mm thick, or a size of: 610 mm x 3.4mm.
2. Use a grounded receptacle only. 110 / 230 volts are required for vacuum operation.
3. Replace gloves when worn or as necessary.
4. Keep work area clean and well lit. Wear proper protective clothing and safety
goggles to prevent injury.
5. 115 V / 230 V ARE REQUIRED FOR LIGHT OPERATION. Do not use over 70 watt,
12 volt light bulb.
6. For best results use a 5 HP air compressor.
7. Prior to first use, install a protective window cover onto the inside of the cabinet.
This protects the safety glass from continual use.
8. Clean dust collector and filters often.
9. Weekly inspect all parts for signs of wear and / or leaks.
10. Avoid moisture in the air lines and abrasives.
11. Excessive amounts of abrasive will create clouded cabinet conditions; blowby of
media through the exhaust, or sluggish and ineffective blasting performance.
12. All blasting systems are prone to plugging or wear because of the media used.
13. Do not use Sand or Silica Based Abrasives with this product. Use only O.S.H.A.
recommended Abrasives.
The following items should be checked for wear as indicated.
Plugged conditions:
The nozzle may become plugged from moist media. Try dislodging the media
with a drill bit held in your hand. You need to get rid of the moist media. If the
abrasive pick-up hose appears plugged, cover the gun tip and force the air back
through this hose. Dust may fly up when you do this, so make sure the cabinet is
securely closed and latched!
Wear conditions:
This is usually noted when an excessive amount of dust appears in the cabinet.
Dust will occur if:
•The abrasive media is worn out. If it has lost it's granular or spherical
appearance or has a lot of debris from the parts being blasted and mixed in,
replace it. This is usually noticed when the abrasive media that exits the nozzle
looks like a smoke cloud coming instead of a stream.
• The air outlet vent is plugged or air flow out is blocked. Cleaning this vent
should help reduce dust in the cabinet. The gun parts may wear out. This is
evident when the blast pattern is too wide and ineffective, simply replace nozzle
or orifice.
