These can be used for reference whenever service or maintenance is required.
SAFETY WARNINGS WARNING Read all recommended safe procedures before attempting to use this equipment. • Depressurize unit before loading media or before any maintenance is performed. • Do not use abrasives containing silica, lead, arsenic, copper, zinc or sharp glass particles - use of abrasives containing these elements could result in serious injury or death.
SAFETY WARNINGS WARNING When the unit is operating: • DO NOT attempt to perform maintenance while the unit is under pressure or is even capable of being pressurized. This means, at a minimum, the inlet valve should be closed and ideally the air source be shut off or disconnected. Anytime the manual blow-down valve (if fitted) is closed it should be assumed the unit is under pressure.
RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION • Know your equipment. Do not operate this equipment in a manner other than its intended application. Do not operate this equipment or any other equipment without following these “Rules For Safer Operation” and all operating procedures and instructions. Learn the applications and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards related to this machine.

• Do not modify vessel. Do not modify or alter any abrasive blaster, blast equipment, or controls thereof without the written consent of BlastOne. Do not weld, grind or sand the pressure vessel. It will not be safe to operate. Non-authorized modifications could lead to serious injury or death.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS With air supplied and with the manual exhaust (blow down) ball valve closed, the pot will be pressurized as soon as the inlet ball valve is opened. When the three-way switch is set to the dry blasting position, the dead-man handle is pressed, and the emergency stop has not been actuated, the auto air valve and Thompson valve are energized.
SYSTEM SET UP Connect a water supply to the water inlet Connect the blasting hose to the outlet coupling on the water injection valve. A large whip check and safety clips MUST be used, as shown Connect air supply hose (minimum 2” I.D.) to the inlet connection (using a large whip check) and connect the 12 volt power supply and deadman cable...
5. Ensure adequate c.f.m. for chosen nozzle is suppled; refer to air consumption chart on page 15. 6. Ensure system is connected to a dry air supply, as moisture inside the blast pot leads to abrasive clumping; please consult a BlastOne sales representative for a moisture control solution.
IMPORTANT: When switching from dry or mist blast to wash down, there will still be abrasive in the blast line for a brief period of time. Always adhere to all safety protocol when operating the Mist Blaster™. To stop the process, release the deadman handle. Note that the pot will not depressurize; only the...
When operating in near-freezing to freezing temperatures, it is vital that the necessary precautions are taken to prevent any water freezing in the pipes of the Mist Blaster™. To prevent such freezing, run windshield wiper fluid through the unit in place of water until only the windshield wiper fluid exits the unit.
