General Operating Instructions
1. Connect the air compressor hose to the Hose Inlet Fitting (45).
2. Plug in and turn on the Cabinet light.
3. Turn on the vacuum of the dust collection system (sold separately). Note: When using a vacuum
dust collector, clean the filter periodically to maintain adequate suction and effectiveness of the
vacuum.
4. Open the Door of the Blast Cabinet and place the workpiece in the center of the Cabinet.
5. Close the door and secure the latch.
6. Set the compressors air pressure between 6 and 8 bar.
7. Place your hands into the Gloves inside the Cabinet. Make sure your fingers are in the proper
positions and that you can easily move your hands and grip objects.
8. Hold the workpiece in one hand, positioning your fingers so that the glove is not in the way of the
area you will be blasting. While working, reposition your grip as needed to ensure that all areas of
the workpiece will be contacted with the blast material.
9. Grip the Abrasive Gun with the other hand and point the nozzle at the bottom of the Cabinet.
10. Squeeze the trigger.
11. Check that the abrasive media is flowing through the suction hose with no leaks. Release the
trigger and correct any leaks if needed. Otherwise begin blasting the workpiece.
1. WARNING! Do not aim the nozzle at your fingers or the Blast Gloves. If Gloves are punctured or
you feel air blowing in the Glove, replace them immediately. Do not use a damaged or punctured
Glove.
12. If the tool requires more force to accomplish the task, verify that the tool receives sufficient,
unobstructed airflow (CFM) and increase the pressure (PSI) output of the regulator up to the
maximum air pressure rating of this tool. CAUTION! TO PREVENT INJURY FROM TOOL OR
ACCESSORY FAILURE: Do not exceed the tool's maximum air pressure rating. If the tool still
does not have sufficient force at maximum pressure and sufficient airflow, then a larger tool may
be required.
13. When finished, or to check the progress of your blasting:
a. Release the trigger, lay the workpiece on the floor of the Cabinet and remove your hands
from the gloves.
b. Turn off the compressor and dust collection system (if equipped). Wait for the air inside the
Cabinet to clear.
c. Open the Cabinet door and remove the workpiece. If the workpiece needs more blasting,
resume from step 4 of these operating instructions.
14. To prevent accidents, release the trigger, detach the air supply, then squeeze and release the
trigger once more to safely discharge any residual air pressure in the tool. Empty the Funnel of
blast media (see User-Maintenance Instructions section). Clean external surfaces of the tool with
a clean, dry cloth. Then store the tool indoors out of children's reach.
Cleaning, Maintenance, and Lubrication
Note: These procedures are in addition to the regular checks and maintenance explained as part of
the regular operation of the air-operated tool.
1. Daily - Air Supply Maintenance: Every day, maintain the air supply according to the component
manufacturers' instructions. Drain the moisture filter regularly. Performing routine air supply
maintenance will allow the tool to operate more safely and will also reduce wear on the tool.
2. After use, empty the Cabinet Funnel of blast media: CAUTION! Wear ANSI-approved Safety
Goggles and NIOSH-approved dust mask/respirator when emptying the abrasive media.
a. Place a container (sold separately), which is large enough to hold all the blast media, under
the mouth of the Funnel.
b. Turn the handle on the Funnel Mouth to open the Funnel and allow all the abrasive media to
flow into the container.
c. Close the Funnel Mouth.
