Basic Operation
During blasting operations, make sure to keep
the water separators drained. Keep in mind that,
depending on the temperature and the amount of
humidity in the ambient air, water separators may
have to be drained once a day or multiple times
during your blasting project.
For tips on basic blast cabinet use and how to pre-
vent common problems with blasting operations,
refer to Operation Tips on Page 25.
To use blast cabinet:
1.
Prepare cabinet and workpiece for blasting,
as discussed in Preparation on Page 23.
2.
Put on safety goggles and respirator.
3.
Select and load blasting media through front
cabinet door. Refer to Page 26 for media
types if needed.
Avoid using media that contains free silica,
as this is a leading source of silicosis that
can lead to serious injury or death!
4.
Install correct tip into blast gun, in position
shown in Figure 25. Typically, 6mm tip is
used, but refer to Blasting Media section on

When loading and unloading heavy or
awkward workpiece, you should cover seal
with thick cardboard, get lifting assistance,
and never rest workpiece on lower door
frame. Otherwise you can damage door
seal, which will cause cabinet seal to leak.
8.
Place workpiece into blast cabinet.
When closing blast cabinet door, move
gloves out of the way of door seal before
door is latched shut. Otherwise gloves and
door seal can be pinched and damaged.
