TOOL SET UP
WARNING! To prevent serious injury from accidental operation:
Turn off the tool, detach the air supply, safely discharge any residual air pressure in the tool, and
release the trigger before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
WARNING! To prevent serious injury:
Do not adjust or tamper with any control or component in a way not specifically explained within this
manual. Improper adjustment can result in tool failure or other serious hazards:
1. Remove the Dust Port Cover (29) on the left side of the Cabinet and install a dust collection
system (sold separately) to the Dust Port opening to remove media dust while blasting. If not
using a dust collection system, check that the Dust Port Cover is in place over the Dust Port
opening on the left side of the Cabinet.
2. Fill the bottom of the Cabinet with no more than 40 pounds of fine abrasive material. Fill the
funnel area about 1/2 full. To prevent clogging, do not overfill. Do not use harsh abrasive media,
such as steel shot or aluminum oxide.
WARNING! Do not use sand or abrasives that contain crystalline silica. Abrasive blasting with sand
containing crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory disease. See "Silicosis and
Aluminum Oxide Warnings" (above).
WORK PIECE AND WORK AREA SET UP
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit. The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Route the air hose along a safe route to reach the work area without creating a tripping hazard or
exposing the air hose to possible damage. The air hose must be long enough to reach the work
area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working.
GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Part 1)
1. Connect the air compressor hose to the Hose Inlet Fitting (45).
2. Plug in and turn on the Cabinet light.
3. Turn on the vacuum of the dust collection system (sold separately).
Note: When using a vacuum dust collector, clean the filter periodically to maintain adequate
suction and effectiveness of the vacuum.
4. Open the Door of the Blast Cabinet and place the workpiece in the center of the Cabinet.
5. Close the door and secure the latch.
6. Set the compressors air pressure between 6 and 8 bar.
7. Place your hands into the Gloves inside the Cabinet. Make sure your fingers are in the proper
positions and that you can easily move your hands and grip objects.
8. Hold the workpiece in one hand, positioning your fingers so that the glove is not in the way of the
area you will be blasting. While working, reposition your grip as needed to ensure that all areas of
the workpiece will be contacted with the blast material.
9. Grip the Abrasive Gun with the other hand and point the nozzle at the bottom of the Cabinet.
10. Squeeze the trigger.
11. Check that the abrasive media is flowing through the suction hose with no leaks. Release the
trigger and correct any leaks if needed. Otherwise begin blasting the workpiece.
WARNING! Do not aim the nozzle at your fingers or the Blast Gloves. If Gloves are punctured or you
feel air blowing in the Glove, replace them immediately. Do not use a damaged or punctured Glove.
12. If the tool requires more force to accomplish the task, verify that the tool receives sufficient,
unobstructed airflow (CFM) and increase the pressure (PSI) output of the regulator up to the
maximum air pressure rating of this tool.
