Fix
For best results, a compressor capable of at least 10 CFM @ 80 PSI is recommended. Lesser output
will result in diminished performance.
Use air supply line of 3/8" or larger.
An air line of 25' maximum is recommended.
Replace suction hose. Automotive fuel or heater hose works well.
Install a moisture separator capable of removing all moisture and impurities from the air supply.
Clean out gun nozzle then drain and sift blast media to remove debris before re-use.
For best results, operate blaster with the siphon tube buried several inches in media. 25 lbs. of media
is generally suffi cient.
To dislodge blockage, place a gloved fi nger over the nozzle outlet and momentarily depress trigger.
Drain and sift blast media to remove debris before re-use.
If dust cloud is present, connect to a suitable shop vacuum or check to see that an attached vacuum
system is functioning properly.
Plastic peel-off lens shield is worn. Clean inside of window and replace peel-off lens shield.
