if any problems are found, do not use tool until repaired.
tool Set up
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 throttle and/or turn the switch to its off position before
performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
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. Wear protective gear including a
niOSH-approved respirator.
2. Close the Air Supply Valve, Abrasive Valve,
then the Throttle Valve.
3. Pull the ring on the Safety Valve out to make sure its
Tank is not pressurized, then release it. Check the
Air Pressure Gauge to make sure it reads "0" PSI.
WarninG! tO preVent SeriOuS
inJury: Do not use sand or other blasting
materials that contain crystalline silica.
cautiOn! Exposure to aluminum oxide (an abrasive
media) can result in eye, skin and breathing irritation.
note: Use only dry and clean abrasives
to avoid clogging the Blaster.
note: Change the Nozzle as needed to suit
the abrasive grit. Refer to Nozzle Replacement
on page 18. The included nozzles are
not designed for use with steel shot.
4. To install or change the Nozzle, loosen the
Nozzle Lock (1A). Slide the desired Nozzle
in place and tighten the Nozzle Lock.
note: By changing to the next larger size of Nozzle,
production can increase significantly. Larger size
Nozzles produce a larger cleaning pattern. This also
requires a higher air pressure and greater air flow.
5. Slide one end of the Siphon Hose (13)
onto the Siphon Tube (12) and the other
end onto the Blast Gun (14).

For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797.
6. Insert the Siphon Tube through the
corner opening of the Grate (10) so that
it is resting in the Hopper (11).
7. It is recommended that you set up a vacuum dust
collector (sold separately) to remove media dust
while blasting. Remove cover on left side of Cabinet
and attach the vacuum hose through the Dust
Collection Outlet.
When using a vacuum dust collector, clean
the filter periodically to maintain good
suction and effectiveness of the vacuum.
Use the appropriate vacuum for the job.
note: If dust collector is not used, the round
cover must be in place on side of Cabinet.
8. Open the Cabinet door and fill the Hopper with
approximately 5 pounds of an appropriate abrasive,
such as glass beads or walnut shells, checking
to ensure that the abrasives are dry and clean.
Do not use harsh abrasives such as steel shot or
aluminum oxide. Do not overload the hopper with
media as it can inhibit media flow to the gun.
9. Set the compressor's pressure regulator
to 90 PSI. Do not set it over 100 PSI.
10. Route the compressor hose from the outside
of the Cabinet to the inside through the Air
Hose Inlet in the back of the Cabinet, then
connect it to the Air Hose Connector (12A)
on the Blast Gun inside the Cabinet.
11. Holding the Blast Gun so that it is pointing
away from you, open the shut‑off valve.
If leaking is detected, disconnect the
air hose and repair before use.
