Operation - Central Pneumatic 69724 Owner's Manual & Safety Instructions

initial tool Set up/assembly
read the EntirE iMpOrtant SaFEty inFOrMatiOn section at the beginning of this
manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.
note: This air tool may be shipped with a protective plug covering the Air Inlet. Remove this plug before set up.
assembly instructions
note: Wrap 3 to 4 turns of thread seal tape
(not included) on all airline connections. Make
sure all joints are securely tightened.
note: For additional information regarding the parts
listed in this section, refer to the Parts List and Diagram
on page Parts List and Diagram on page 14.
1. Locate the Abrasive Hose (24), Blast
Gun, and two Hose Clamps (23).
2. Slide one Hose Clamp onto each end of
the Abrasive Hose. Do not tighten.
3. Slide one end of the Abrasive Hose onto
the Hose Adapter (49) of the Blast Gun.
Then firmly tighten the Hose Clamp.
air Supply
tO prEVEnt SEriOuS inJury FrOM EXpLOSiOn:
use only clean, dry, regulated, compressed air to power this tool.
Do not use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases,
or any other bottled gas as a power source for this tool.
1. Incorporate a filter, regulator with pressure gauge,
in-line shutoff valve, and quick coupler for best
service, as shown on Figure B on page 8 and
Figure C on page 9. an in-line shutoff ball
valve is an important safety device because
it controls the air supply even if the air hose
is ruptured. the shutoff valve should be a
ball valve because it can be closed quickly.
2. Attach an air hose to the compressor's air outlet.
Connect the air hose to the Air Inlet of the tool.
Other components, such as a coupler plug
and quick coupler, will make operation
more efficient, but are not required.

FrOM acciDEntaL OpEratiOn:
Do not install a female quick coupler on the tool.
Such a coupler contains an air valve that will
allow the air tool to retain pressure and operate
accidentally after the air supply is disconnected.
note: Air flow, and therefore tool performance,
can be hindered by undersized air supply components.
The air hose must be long enough to reach
the work area with enough extra length to
allow free movement while working.
3. Turn the tool's throttle or switch to the off position;
refer to Operation section for description of controls.

4. Slide the other end of the Abrasive Hose
onto the Abrasive Outlet Manifold (22).
Then firmly tighten the Hose Clamp.

4. Close the in-line shutoff valve between
the compressor and the tool.
5. Turn on the air compressor according to
the manufacturer's directions and allow it
to build up pressure until it cycles off.
6. Adjust the air compressor's output regulator
so that the air output is enough to properly
power the tool, but the output will not exceed
the tool's maximum air pressure at any time.
Adjust the pressure gradually, while checking the
air output gauge to set the right pressure range.
7. Inspect the air connections for leaks.
Repair any leaks found.
8. If the tool will not be used at this time, turn off
and detach the air supply, safely discharge
any residual air pressure, and release
the throttle and/or turn the switch to its off
position to prevent accidental operation.
note: Residual air pressure should not be present
after the tool is disconnected from the air supply.
However, it is a good safety measure to attempt to
discharge the tool in a safe fashion after disconnecting
to ensure that the tool is disconnected and not powered.
