SAND BLAST CABINET
B) Set the compressor's pression regulator to 40-80 PSI. Do not set the regulator above
the Maximum PSI.
C) Open the door and place material you are working with in the center of the
cabinet.
CLOSE DOOR LATCHES PROPERLY
D) Place your hands into the rubber gloves inside the cabinet. Make sure your fingers
are in the proper positions and that you can easily move your hands and grip
things.
E) Grip the gun with one hand. Point the nozzle at the bottom of the cabinet and
operate the gun for a moment to make sure everything is working properly. If
leaking is detected, disconnect the air hose and have it repaired before using again.
F) Hold the material you are working with in your 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 times during the blasting to ensure you have blasted
every area of your material.
G) 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 from 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, rubber gloves or the fluorescent
light.
H) To check on the progress of your blasting, remove your hand from the gun first
and pull then pull your hand from the glove. Remove your other hand. Once the
gun is OFF, open the door and inspect your material. If it is necessary to continue
blasting, follow the previous steps as necessary.
I) Once complete, remove your hands from the gloves and shut off the compressor.
Open the door and remove your material.
Note: Your sand blast cabinet has a 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.
MAINTAINING
YOUR SAND BLAST CABINET
*DISCONNECT THE POWER AND THE AIR SUPPLY BEFORE ANY
MAINTENANCE.
All sand blast systems are prone to plugging or wear because of the abrasive
material used and the applications. The following items should be checked for wear
as indicated:
PLUGGED CONDITIONS
The blast nozzle may become plugged from moist media. Try dislodging the media
with a drill bit held in your hand. You may need to get rid of the moist media. If the
abrasive pick-up hose appears to be plugged, cover the gun tip and force the air
back throught the hose. Dust may fly up when you do this so make sure the lid is
down and secure.
WEAR CONDITIONS
This is usually noted when an excessive amount of dust appears in the cabinet. Dust
will occur if:
-The abrasive blasting media is worn out. If it has lost its granular or spherical
appearance or has a lot of debris from the parts being blasted and mixed in, replace
media. 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 is blocked. Cleaning this vent should help
reduce the dust in the cabinet.
The gun parts may wear out. This is usually evident when the blast pattern is too
wide and ineffective, simply replace the nozzle or the orifice.
REPLACING THE TRANSPARENT PVC BOARD
On the underside of the top lid, there is a 1mm replaceable transparent PVC board,
when at work, if the transparent PVC board is getting misty or unclear, it may be
replaced with a new one to avoid affecting the sight during work.
REPLACING NOZZLES
Note: When replacing a nozzle, it should be compatible with the bore. A small bore
nozzle should be compatible with a small bore air jet ceramic nozzle. A bigger
nozzle should be compatible with the bigger one.
REPLACING FLUORESCENT LIGHT
The standard fluorescent light bulb inside the protective covering can be replaced
and purchased from your nearest Hardware store. Make sure the replacement
fluorescent light bulb is identical to the one which came with your sand blast
cabinet.
