RELEASING PRESSURE FROM THE TANK
1.
When you are fi nished blasting, point Blast Discharge Nozzle in a safe direction away from people, pets or anything around you that may be harmed by direct or indirect
abrasive spray.
2.
Press and hold the Blast Discharge Nozzle to expel any remaining abrasive material from the Abrasive Hose.
3.
Close the Abrasive Control Valve.
4.
Release pressure on the Blast Discharge Nozzle.
5.
Close the Throttling Valve and the Air Supply Valve.
6.
Disconnect air supply hose from abrasive blaster.
7.
Press the Blast Discharge Nozzle until air stops fl owing and Pressure Gauge reads "0".
Pay particular attention to the Abrasive Hose, the Abrasive Control Valve, and the Nozzles as they will wear out much more quickly than the other pieces.
The Abrasive Hose needs to be replaced immediately if its side walls develop leaks or show blisters in the surface. Do not use if any of these problems
are present.
ABRASIVE SELECTION
The kind of abrasive you choose will greatly infl uence the amount of time needed to clean a given surface area. Abrasive materials include glass beads, aluminum oxide, and oth-
ers. For best results, use 80 grit abrasive or fi ner. Do not exceed 80 grit media size.
•
Make sure that the abrasive you use is thoroughly dry. Damp abrasive can cause clogging of your abrasive blaster.
•
While you may reuse abrasive, remember that abrasive does wear out. After use, abrasive
becomes smoother and rounder, thus reducing abrasive effectiveness.
•
Reusing abrasive may also cause clogging due to debris contained in the mixture from prior use.
