GENERAL SAFETY RULES
1. Read this instruction manual before connecting the sandblaster to a
compressor.
2. Do not use any silica based abrasives with this tool. Silica based abrasives
have been linked to severe respiratory disease. Always use recommended
abrasives. Abrasives used in this unit may be covered by COSHH
Regulations.
3. Read this manual carefully, Learn the tool's applications and limitations, as
well as potential hazards specific to it.
4. Do not expose tool to moisture. Don't use this tool in damp or wet locations,
Keep out of rain.
5. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark work areas invite
accidents,
6. Keep children away. All children should be kept away from the work area.
Never let a child handle a tool without strict adult supervision.
7. Do not operate this tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read
warning labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgment or reflexes
are impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not attempt to
operate,
8. Use safety equipment. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection should be used in appropriate conditions.
9. Don't overreach, Keep proper footing and balance at all times when
operating this product.
10. Always disconnect the tool from the air supply and release pressure from
the tank before storing, servicing, or changing accessories.
11. Use clamps or other practical means to secure and support the work piece
to a stable platform. Do not hold the work by hand or against your body.
12. Do not point the sandblaster at anyone or any objects other than the
intended work object.
13. Check your sandblaster regularly for damage, If part of the sandblaster is
damaged it should be carefully inspected to make sure that it can perform
its intended function correctly. If in doubt, the part should be repaired.
Refer all servicing to a qualified technician. Consult your dealer for advice.
14. Do not attempt to operate this tool near flammable materials or
combustibles. Failure to comply may cause serious injury.
Warning: Compressed air can be dangerous. Ensure that you are
thoroughly familiar with all precautions relating to the use of
compressors and compressed air supply.

5
15. Always check to make sure that the trigger is not on before connecting
blaster to air supply.
16. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and untrained persons. Tools
may be dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
17. Drain water trap periodically during use, Do not allow moisture to fill more
than 1/2 of the water trap bowl. Do not leave water standing in water trap
when storing the sandblaster.
18. Do not allow sandblaster to sit pressurized while unattended or not in use.
19. Periodically check the abrasive medium delivery equipment. Valves, hoses
and nozzles that carry the abrasive medium after it leaves the pressure
tank are subjected to the abrasive blasting action so will wear out more
quickly than other components.
20. Release the air pressure in the tank before opening. See “Releasing
Pressure from the Tank” section, Make sure pressure gauge reads “0”
before opening the tank. Do not attempt any maintenance on the
abrasive blaster until the pressure gauge reads “0”, and it has been
disconnected from the air supply.
21. Maintain correct air pressure whenever working. Do not allow pressure to
exceed 125 psi, If the safety valve does not release excess air pressure, stop
all work and release pressure from the tank (see “Releasing Pressure from
the Tank” section).
22. ALWAYS make sure there is adequate ventilation. Do not spray in confined
areas,
23. In the case of injury seek expert medical advice immediately.
24. SECURE THE WORK Use clamps or a vice to hold the work if it is small or light
weight rather than using your hands. This frees both hands to operate the
nozzle.

OPERATION
SAFETY AND HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS
• Before opening tank make sure that it is not pressurized. Ensure the
gauge reads “0”. If it does not, release pressure from the tank (See
page 11).
• Disconnect the compressor before opening the tank. Protect
yourself and those around you from “over-spray”. Remember that
your portable abrasive blaster is shooting a powerful spray of
abrasive material. Do not point it at yourself or anyone around you.
• Wear protective clothing including hood (30), and heavy gloves
when using this abrasive blaster.
• Wear a filter or mask over your mouth when using this tool. You will
create a cloud of abrasive material and debris which is dangerous
to inhale.
• Protect anything around you that may be damaged from the
abrasive spray or particles. Nothing subject to contamination
damage or with a fine surface should be near your abrasive
blaster.
ABRASIVE SELECTION
The kind of abrasive you choose will greatly influence the amount of time
needed to clean a given surface area.
WARNING: ALWAYS WEAR YOUR HOOD, DUST MASK AND HEAVY DUTY
CANVAS GLOVES WHEN OPERATING THE SANDBLASTER.
WARNING: BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SANDBLASTER, INSPECT EACH
CONNECTION, DOUBLE CHECKING TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL ARE TIGHT
