applications The cabinets require a standard, dry workshop air supply. The SB972 may be either bench or floor mounted on the optional
SB972/STAND.

AIR SUPPLY & INSTALLATION
3.1.
Ensure the air valve is in the "off" position before connecting to the air supply.
3.2.
You will require an air pressure of 90psi , and an air volume of 4.5 - 7cfm for operating the unit.
3.3.
p WARNING! Ensure air supply does not exceed 100PSI. Too high an air pressure and unclean air will shorten the product life
due to excessive wear, and may be dangerous causing possible damage and personal injury.
3.4.
The air supply must be clean and dry. Drain the air supply tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the item being supplied.
3.5.
Clean the air inlet filter screen weekly. For recommended
hook-up, see diagram to right.
3.6.
Line pressure should be increased to compensate for
unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres). The minimum
hose diameter should be 10mm I.D. and fittings must
have the same inside dimensions.
3.7.
Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
Check hoses for wear, and make certain that
all connections are secure.
3.8.
The cleaner’s input connection is 1/4” BSP.
3.9.
Installation
Unpack the product and check contents, should there be any damaged or missing parts contact your supplier immediately.
Use an appropriate coupling suitable for your air system to connect the air supply to the inlet on the right hand side of the cabinet and the gun.
The air supply must be clean and dry and should not exceed the maximum pressure.
Check all fitting to ensure there are no leaks, and check that the media supply hose is tightly attached to the underside of the gun.
Place the abrasive media into the centre of the cabinet as follows:
SB951 =
10 lbs
SB972 =
40 lbs
Do not exceed the stated amounts. Excessive amounts of media will impair visibility, create poor blasting performance and could block the air
exhaust at the rear of the cabinet.
Connect the unit to the electrical main supply and the unit is ready for use.
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Ensure you have read, understood and apply safety instructions in chapter 1 before using the unit.
4.1.
When you have completed installation as in chapter 3, place the workpiece in the cabinet and close and latch the lid securely.
p
WARNING! failure to securely close the lid could result in damage or personal injury.
4.2.
Turn the light, and the air supply on.
p
4.3.
Insert your hands into the cabinet gloves, grasp the gun and depress the trigger to start the blasting process. If no flow is achieved,
momentarily cover the gun nozzle in order to clear the tube.
4.4.
Move the blast media (which looks like steam) continuously over the workpiece in an even and circular motion. To avoid undesirable
peening the flow should not be too hard or concentrated. The work finish may vary from coarse to fine depending on the size of the
abrasive media. On delicate workpieces, to avoid unnecessary peening or excessive abrasion, begin the blasting with a lesser airflow.
5. MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Ensure the cabinet is disconnected from the electrical mains and the air supply before attempting any maintenance.
5.1.
Ensure the blasting media does not become damp. Keep the air supply dry at all times. Dispose of any damp media.
p
5.2.
Replace media when it has becomes excessively dusty, loses its granular or spherical appearance, or debris from workpieces mixes in
with it. This is usually noticed when media from the nozzle looks like a smoke cloud rather than steam.
5.3.
Regularly check that the exhaust vent at the back of the cabinet is clear and not blocked (see parts diagram item “A”).
5.4.
Regularly check gun blast nozzle to ensure it does not become blocked with media. Immediately replace worn or damaged nozzles.
5.5.
If abrasive pick-up hose becomes blocked, re-power the unit, ensure the lid is correctly closed. Cover the gun tip and force air back
through the hose to clear any media.
5.6.
Replace the transparent screen on the underside of the lid if visibility is reduced.
5.7.
Internal cabinet light may be replaced with a dust free light tube not greater than 70 Watts.
