Abrasives: Use good quality, dry abrasives that are designed
to be recycled. Keep abrasives dry. Moisture from the air
source will cause clogging, flow problems and may cause
component failure that is not covered under warranty.
Replace abrasive media when the abrasive breaks down. Worn
abrasive will reduce performance. DO NOT USE SAND!
CAUTION: Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and NIOSH-
approved dust mask / respirator when emptying the abrasive.
Changing abrasive: Place a container (not included), which is
large enough to hold all abrasive, under the cabinet. Remove
drain plug and empty abrasive into the container. Clear all
abrasive out in order to prevent breakdown for the next opera-
tion. Replace drain plug.
Abrasive Storage: Store abrasives in sealed container and in
a dry location. Abrasive media is susceptible to moisture.
Avoid clogging abrasive: Keep abrasive dry! Nozzle size
should be 3-4 times larger than the size of the abrasive being
used. If abrasive stops flowing, disconnect air supply and
check for obstructions in the suction line and nozzle.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Note: When using your abrasive blast cabinet, a compressor
with 20 SCFM @ 90 PSI is recommended with a fine grade
abrasive (See Media Guide for Types and Uses). If the speci-
fied compressor is not available, a smaller compressor can be
used intermittently for the blasting operation. Read your com-
pressor manual to determine duty cycle.
Connect the air compressor. Set the compressor pressure
regulator to 90 PSI. Do not exceed maximum pressure rating.
See specifications for SCFM and Maximum PSI requirements.
Turn the cabinet light on. This blast cabinet is equipped with
LED cabinet work light.
Open the Blast Cabinet Door and fill the cabinet with fine
abrasive material. Do not overfill. (See specifications for max
abrasive capacity.)
Place the workpiece in the center of the cabinet. Close the
cabinet door and latch securely. Turn shop vacuum on for the
recovery of media and better working visibility.
