4. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark work areas invite accidents.
5. Keep children away. All children should be kept
away from the work area. Never let a child
handle a tool without strict adult supervision.
6. Do not operate this tool if under the influence of
alcohol or drugs. Read warning labels on
prescriptions to determine if your judgment or
reflexes are impaired while taking drugs. If there is
any doubt, do not attempt to operate.
7. Use safety equipment. Eye protection should be
worn at all times when operating this tool. Use
ANSI approved safety glasses. Everyday eye-
glasses are NOT safety glasses. Dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
should be used in appropriate conditions.
8. Wear proper apparel. Loose clothing, gloves,
neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry may
present a potential hazard when operating this
tool. Please keep all apparel clear of the tool.
9. Don't overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times when operating this product.
10. Always disconnect the tool from air supply and
release pressure from the tank before making any
adjustments, storing, servicing, or changing
accessories. Such preventative safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
11. Use clamps or other practical means to secure
and support the work piece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body
may lead to a loss of control.
12. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
13. Check for damage. Check your tool regularly. If
part of the tool is damaged it should be carefully
inspected to make sure that it can perform its'
intended function correctly. If in doubt, the part
should be repaired. Refer all servicing to a
qualified technician. Consult your dealer for advice.
14. Keep away from flammables. Do not attempt to
operate this tool near flammable materials or
combustibles. Failure to comply may cause
serious injury or death.
15. Always check to make sure that the trigger is not
on before connecting blaster to air supply. Tool
may cause damage to property or person if
plugged in while on.
16. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
untrained persons. Tools may be dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
17. Drain water trap periodically during use. Do not
allow moisture to fill more than 1/2 the water trap
bowl. Do not leave water standing in water trap
when done with work.
18. Do not allow abrasive blaster to sit pressurized
while unattended or not in use.
19. Make sure all equipment is rated to the
appropriate capacity. Make sure regulator is set
at no higher than 125 psi.
20. Periodically check the abrasive medium delivery
equipment. Valves, hoses and nozzles that carry
the abrasive medium after it leaves the pressure
tank are subjected to the abrasive blasting action
so will wear out more quickly than other
components.
21. Release the air pressure in the tank before
opening. See "Releasing Pressure from the
Tank" section. Make sure pressure gauge reads
"0" before opening the tank. Do not attempt any
maintenance on the abrasive blaster until the
pressure gauge reads "0", and it has been
disconnected from air supply.
22. Maintain correct air pressure whenever working.
Do not allow pressure to exceed 125 psi. If the
safety valve does not release excess air
pressure, stop all work and release pressure
from the tank (see "Releasing Pressure from the
Tank" section).

1.
Slide the two Hose Clamps (24), over each end
of the Abrasive Hose (25).
2. Press one end of the hose, over the nipple on the
Abrasive Outlet Pipe (23), and the other end over the
Abrasive Safety Trigger Hose Adapter (49).
3. Both hose ends should be firmly seated on the
nipples. Slide the hose clamps along the hose to
each nipple and tighten the clamps very firmly.
They have to resist the force of 60 to 125 PSI.
