Cleaning
Wear safety goggles and a respirator when
cleaning the cabinet or the filter. Failure to
comply can cause serious personal injury.
Wipe down the exterior of the cabinet with a light
solution of mild dish soap and water, then dry
with a clean towel. To avoid scratching windows,
never wipe windows with wet or dry rags. Instead,
vacuum media away and then gently brush the
remnants off of the glass with a soft paint brush.
The blast cabinet is equipped with 6
x 12" long pleated filter that is designed to filter
media and contaminants from air that re-enters
the shop. During operation, basic de-caking is
done manually every 20 to 30 minutes with the
canister plunger. Empty the canister (see Figure
30) at least every five hours of use. Typically this
media is discarded as it has a high ratio of fine
dust contaminants. For major cleaning, unlatch
the top of the dust collector and remove the filter
element. Inspect all sealing foam and replace
as required. Clean the filter canister pleats by
carefully blowing it from the inside out with com-
pressed air. If usability of the filter is in question,
or any holes or tears exist, replace it.
