1.3 Description of Operation:
The Perfect Point EDM Corporation’s s•blaster is a hand held, closed loop, coating
and corrosion removal system, using regulated shop air and Plastic Blast Media
(PBM) to remove aircraft paint and fillers from the surface of airframe fasteners. .
During fastener cleaning operations the s•blaster delivers a mixture of pressurized air
and the Plastic Blast Media through an Umbilical Hose Assembly to a Hand Tool. A
Blast Locator seals the gap between the Hand Tool and the surface being blasted,
completely enclosing the blast area and capturing and recycling the media and
removed material. As the blast media removes the surface coatings, the removed
material is vacuumed away from the Hand Tool by means of a vacuum tube attached
to the Hand Tool. A cyclone separator removes blast debris and particulate
contamination and is collected by a sealed waste bottle for disposal. Exhaust air is
passed through a HEPA filter assembly removing all airborne dust and debris from
the cut cycle. The Media is returned to the s•blaster system media tank where it is
recycled. The duration of the media cleaning cycle is controlled by means of a
pneumatic timer.
Different diameter Blast Locators and variation of cleaning time settings are
controlled to affect the diameter and aggressiveness of the cleaning process.
The cleaning cycle is initiated by the operator by placing an s•blaster Blast Locator
on the fastener to be cleaned and inserting the Hand Tool into the Locator. The
function of the Blast Locator is to confine the area to be blasted to just the fastener
head, and to stop the escape of dust or debris.
The cleaning cycle begins when the operator rolls the Hand Tool Safety Lock
upwards to the blast position and depresses the Safety Lock and Safety Lever,
continuously holding them in the depressed position until the pre-set pneumatic timer
completes the cleaning cycle.
Upon completion of the timed cleaning cycle, the s•blaster automatically switches
from blast to vacuum mode removing dust and debris from the immediate blast area.
The vacuum mode will continue as long as the operator continues to depress the
Safely Lock and Lever.
When the Safety Lock and Lever is released s•blaster operation stops, and the Hand
Tool may be removed from the Locator.
The s•blaster vacuum-only feature may be used alone to clean up any surrounding
dust and debris from the immediate area by simply depressing the Safety Lever
WITHOUT rolling the Safety Lock upwards to the blast position.

Do not use any other media other than what is recommended by
PPedm. Use of unapproved media will void the system warranty and may
damage airframe or the s•blaster system.
1. Connect the system to shop air assuring it is preset to the proper pressure
settings for s•blaster operation (150 psi max. 90 psi min.).
2. Pour media into a clean tray or bucket, hold the Nozzle slightly above media,
depress the VACUUM Safety Lever (NOT THE BLAST Safety Lock) to vacuum
up the media.
Note: The Media Shipping Bottle is interchangeable with the Waste Bottle and can
be recycled or used to dispose of blast debris.
Do not operate the s•blaster until all fittings and hoses are re-connected.
2.2 Hand Tool Configuration and Adjustment:
Changing Blast Masks and Blast Timer settings will change the outcome of blast
effects. Each coating removal situation is unique, and the operator should experiment
with s•blaster blast aperture and timer settings to find the optimum cleaning results.
2.3 Pneumatic Timer Settings:
A Pneumatic Timer is located on the side of the chassis (Fig. 7A & B). Blast times
may be varied from approximately 3 seconds to 30 seconds. Adjust the timer to the
desired blast time by turning the timer knob Clockwise for longer blast times, or
Counter-Clockwise for shorter times. Once the Blast Trigger is depressed by the
operator the pneumatic timer starts and will stop upon reaching its setting and
automatically switch the system to vacuum mode.

Use forefinger to “roll” the Safety Lock upwards to the blast position and simultaneously
depress the Safety Lever and the blast sequence will start (See Fig. 5).
KEEP THE SAFETY LOCK and LEVER DEPRESSED DURING THE BLAST CYCLE. The
s•blaster Pneumatic Timer will automatically time and terminate the blast cycle upon reaching
its setting and automatically switch to vacuum mode removing residual blast media and
removed dust and debris.
Note: The Vacuum will continue to operate as long as the Safety Lock and Lever are held in
the depressed position.
1. Keep the trigger depressed as the s-blaster is removed from the fastener. Once satisfied
that all media and dust has been vacuumed away, release the Safety Lock and Lever, all
operation will stop, and the Hand Tool can be removed from the Blast Locator.
Note: A slight rocking motion can be induced to the Hand Tool and Locator to assist in
vacuuming up surrounding media and dust.
2. If the blast cycle must be terminated prematurely for any reason, simply RELEASE both
Safety Lock and Lever and operation will stop and the Lock and Lever will return to the
Vacuum position. The blast sequence can be restarted by repeating steps 1 and 2.
3. If at any time the operator wishes to vacuum up excess blast media or dust from the
immediate work area simply depress the Safety Lock and Lever WITHOUT ROLLING
THE SAFETY LEVER to the Blast Position. The system vacuum feature will engage, and
the area can be vacuumed. The vacuum will continue to operate as long as the Safety
Lock and Lever are depressed. Vacuum is not a timed feature.
Note: To ensure the best cleanup of media and debris, tilt the Hand Tool slightly as you
vacuum.
It is very important the Safety Lock NOT BE ROLLED TO THE BLAST POSITION
DURING VACUUM OPERATION. Actuating the blast sequence will cause an accidental
discharge of media. Always keep the Hand Tool pointed in a safe direction away from
your body while using the s•blaster.
Only vacuum up s•blaster debris and media, do not use this system as a general shop
vacuum. Ingesting drill shards or dirt and debris other than media and blast dust will
cause s•blaster system blockages, and potentially damage the s•blaster.
4.0 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE:
It is wise to regularly inspect the s•blaster system during operation. Keeping the system in
optimum operating condition will avoid system blockages, and breakdowns. Monitoring media
level, waste level and filter condition will ensure proper s•blaster operation.

4.1 Waste Bottle:
During cleaning operations monitor the Waste Bottle on the bottom of the Cyclone Separator.
When the Waste Bottle becomes filled it must be replaced. Remove the Bottle from the
bottom of the Cyclone Separator, seal with a screw cap provided with a replacement bottle
and dispose of removed material in accordance with local regulations.
Note: The standard s•blaster consumables kit includes media, a replacement waste bottle
and cap, and replacement Pre-Filter.
4.2 HEPA and Pre-Filters:
Periodically inspect the HEPA and Pre-Filter assemblies and replace as necessary. Remove
the HEPA Filter from the bayonet style fitting by turning counterclockwise and lifting it free of
the Media Tank Assembly. The Pre-Filter is located directly below the HEPA Filter. Check to
see if the Pre-Filter is domed or still flat. If it is domed, then it should be replaced. Remove
the Filter Seal Ring first, then lift the Pre-Filter from its counterbore.
4.2.1 Filter Change Recommendations:
It is recommended that the Pre-Filter be replaced weekly during normal operation. More often
if a decline in vacuum performance is observed. The HEPA Filter should be replaced
quarterly.
PPedm does not recommend cleaning HEPA or Pre-Filters. If the s•blaster is
being used to remove hazardous materials it is recommended that the HEPA
and Pre-Filters be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
It is NOT recommended that HEPA or Pre-Filters be blown out with shop air
as this will release considerable amounts of airborne dust and particles that
will disperse undesired contamination throughout the area.
4.3 Inspect Media Tank Mesh Filter:
If system blockages are encountered is advisable to inspect the Media Tank Mesh Filter.
During cleaning operations, the vacuum line is capable of ingesting larger particles from the
surface being cleaned. The Media Tank Mesh Filter is designed to catch larger particulates
that may cause system blockages. To inspect the Media Tank Mesh Filter:
1. Disconnect the top corrugated Vacuum hose from the chassis side vacuum hose
barbed fitting. Unscrew the clear plastic vacuum hose and media tank lid as a
unit.
2. The Mesh Filter Assembly is slip fit into the top of the Media Tank opening and
may be removed for cleaning by lifting it out of the Media Tank.

3. Replace the Mesh Filter Assembly after cleaning and re-install the Media Tank
Lid and clear vacuum hose onto the Media Tank. Reattach the Chassis Vacuum
hose on the barbed chassis side vacuum line fitting.
Do not operate the s•blaster unless all fittings and hoses are re-connected.
If a system blockage is suspected refer to the troubleshooting section of
the User guide for remedial action.
4.4 Nozzle Inspection and Replacement:
Nozzles are very reliable and will provide hundreds of cleaning cycles, however Nozzles
need to be inspected periodically for erosion of the inner bore that could affect blast efficiency
and pattern. To inspect or replace a Nozzle do the following:
The Vacuum Tube Housing is held in position by a retaining O-Ring. To remove the Vacuum
Tube Housing simply pull it away from the Hand Tool.
Use a ½” AF wrench to unscrew the nozzle, turning it counterclockwise.
Inspect the O-Ring seal seated at the bottom of the bore in the Hand Tool body. Inspect the
nozzle for excessive wear and replace the nozzle and O-Ring if necessary. Always replace
the O-Ring whenever the Nozzle is replaced.
Reinstall the Vacuum Tube Housing and the Hand tool is ready for use.
4.5 Media Type Replacement
S-Blaster utilizes a cyclone filtering system that separates the lighter used media apart from
heavier fresh media. However cyclone efficiency can be affected by various substrates and
may require a media change.
1. Wear proper safety protection such as safety glasses and masks. Remove
supply line to unit.
2. Gently pull hose from barbed tank cap and unscrew remaining.
3. Wipe off dirt and dust from O-ring and regrease using silicon grease or similar
seal conditioner.
4. Removing screen trap by sliding straight up.
5. Use a shop vacuum to vacuum up remaining media. Please be cautious with
components inside media tank.
5. Properly dispose of media, following facility guidelines
Refer to section 2.1 Filling Procedure for proper fill instructions.

APPENDIX 2: Trouble-Shooting Guide
This section of the User Guide lists common maintenance issues encountered and their solutions. It
is recommended the following basic steps be done before proceeding to a higher level of trouble
shooting.
•Check Waste Bottle level and replace if filled.
•Check HEPA and Pre-Filter for cleanliness and free air flow.
•Check supply air pressure and quality.
•Backflush the nozzle to clear any media blockage as follows:
•Insert a center punch or pencil tip in the Nozzle tip and hold firmly in place.
•While observing the media tank, apply 2 to 3 short “Blast” bursts to the
system. The media in the tank should appear to bubble as air is blasted back
through it.
In the event these basic steps do not remedy the issue, review the Troubleshooting Guide for
helpful maintenance remedies.
If a solution cannot be found in this Trouble-Shooting Guide, do not hesitate to contact the
Customer Service Hotline Phone at 714-891-6533. This number is located in multiple places
for ease of access.
