READ INSTRUCTIONS

• Thoroughly read and understand this manual before using.
• Save for future reference.
• Silica based abrasives have been linked to severe respiratory disease. Avoid breathing dust produced by the Blast Cabinet. Always
wear appropriate NIOSH approved breathing apparatus. DO NOT use any sand or silica-based abrasives with this Blast Cabinet.
• The Blasting Gun will eject particles, dust and sharp fragments at high velocity during operation. Eye protection should be worn at all
times when operating this tool. Use ANSI approved safety glasses.
• Operating the Blast Cabinet in an indoor area without the vacuum operating can pose serious respiratory hazards. Always make sure
the vacuum is operating and the Top Lid and Side Doors are closed and latched before blasting.
• Failure to maintain the vacuum unit can result in dust seeping out. This is a serious health hazard! Stop blasting immediately and follow
the vacuum filter cleaning and maintenance procedure before resuming work.
• The Blasting Gun will rapidly release media at high velocity while connected to an air supply if accidentally triggered.
ALWAYS disconnect the Blast Cabinet from the air supply before opening the Top Lid or Side Doors.
• Excessive air pressure can cause the hoses to burst, resulting in tool damage and personal injury. DO NOT exceed 125 psi [8.6 bar] of
inlet air pressure to the tool.
• Abrasive Blasting can generate excessive noise. Wear appropriate ANSI approved hearing protection while operating.
• Skin contact with the abrasive blast stream can cause severe skin and tissue damage. Always utilize the built-in protective abrasive
blasting gloves and inspect them for any damage before each use. If damage is observed, immediately discontinue use and replace the
glove.
• Abrasive blasting can also pose serious health hazards to bystanders. Always make sure any persons or pets are protected from the
blasting hazards described in this manual.
• Some abrasive blast media will spark as it removes material. Never blast items that are flammable or are saturated with highly
flammable substances (eg. uncleaned fuel system components).
