Dear Customer!
The devices of the SANDUBLAST series are available either as recycling sandblasting
device SANDUBLAST or as combined units SANDUBLAST 2 or 3 (cover image shows
SANDUBLAST 3). The SANDUBLAST is a manual sandblaster. SANDUBLAST 2 or 3 are
combining a recycling sandblasting device for blasting model castings with a Microfine jet
blaster with two or three chambers. All the advantages of microblasting and recycling
sandblasting technology are combined in one unit, suitable for the following applications:
cleaning, buffing and polishing as well as removing oxide layers and special surface finishing
with sandblasting beads. The special blasting principle and the heated chambers offer a
constant flow of the abrasive that result in a smooth surface being created. Of course, the
maintenance-free quick stop valve is integrated in the blasting unit as well, to provide precise
and economic use of abrasives. Heated chambers prevent abrasive agglomeration leading to
blocked nozzles. Different kind of abrasive graining and adjustable amounts per tank enable
various surface qualities. All commercial abrasives from 25 to 250 my are applicable.
Prior to installation of the device operating instructions and especially the safety instructions
must be read and followed by all personnel who use this device.
After having unpacked the device, please check carefully whether transportation damages of
any kind have occurred. If that is the case, the carrier or manufacturer must be notified within
3 days. The company will not be responsible for any damages found after that.
These operating instructions must be read and followed by all personnel who use this device.
To ensure quick access we recommend to keep it at a safe place near the device. In case of
loss it can be ordered at a nominal fee from the manufacturer.

Specific Safety Notes
Attention:
The abrasive grain sizes assigned to the chambers have to be adhered to. An abrasive
grain size less than 25 my is inadmissible, clogging the ventilation unit.
The chambers may only be opened when the device is not under pressure.
The lids of the abrasive chambers must always lie flat and clean and be screwed tight with
the locking screw (14) before starting work with the device.
It is prohibited to use fluids and gaseous media. Application only according to
manufacturer’s instructions.
Regularly check the device for water collecting in the maintenance unit (see chapter 6).
•During operation the glass pane must be closed, connecting the device to an appropriate
suction.
•To avoid injury wear abrasion resistant gloves and a mask.
•The device may only be operated with non-hazardous commercially available powdered
abrasives.
•No harmful abrasives, gases or fluids shall be used.
•No other gases than compressed air shall be used with the device.
•The plug screw (14) may only be opened when the device is not under pressure.
•The blasting jet may only be aimed at objects to be cleaned, never at living beings.
•Do not install any dust-sensitive devices near the device.

12
Installation
The electrical equipment is ready for immediate use. The sealed plug can be connected
directly to the mains supply 230 V/16 A. For installation please refer to safety notes in
chapter 2.
Recycling sandblaster Installation
Now connect the device to the power supply by means of the plug or mains cable.
Establish compressed air connection (9) (3,5–6 bar). Set the pressure regulator (20) up
to a max. of 6 bar. Don’t exceed the max. pressure.
Connect the suction as follows:
−Put the suction’s plug in the socket outlet (8),
−Secure suction tube to adapter (4),
−Activate suction.
Insert the plug of the foot switch into the device socket (7).
The blasting nozzle (30) is continuously angle-adjustable.
Fill the tray’s bottom of the recycling sandblaster with a sufficient quantity of abrasive
media.
Recycling sandblaster and Microfine jet blaster Installation
Fix the nozzles to the nozzle pens (27). (The nozzles are pre-assembled upon delivery.
Please refer to notes in chapter 1.)
Fill required abrasive into the chambers (see chapter 2). Proceed as follows:
−Release pressure, open screw plug (14) and remove plexiglass lid (16),
−Completely introduce supplied funnel (35) (passing by at the nozzle head (17) and at
the hose) and fill in abrasive
−Filling height correct = up to the screw, ventilation slot remains free,
−Remove residual abrasives from plug opening (if necessary use a brush),
−Tightly close the plexiglass lid (16) and close with screw plug (14).
Note:
Removing the abrasive chambers is only for repair purposes.
Use the funnel with filling adapter (30) for filling abrasive into chambers. To prevent
overflowing don’t exceed the maximum quantity of 450 ml abrasives. The filling area during
filling must be clean (cover, screw thread, chamber inflation nozzle).

13
Operation
Turn the unit on with the main switch (1). If your extraction system is not linked to the
unit, switch it on before operation.
The pressure of the chambers can be infinitely adjusted up to max. set 6 bar (uniform for
all chambers). The recycling nozzle is operated with the pressure of the compressor. Pay
attention to pressure setting of max. 6 bar. (Do not set the compressor pressure higher
than 6 bar, since there is a risk of bursting hoses.)
Objects can now be placed in the device through the glass pane (2) and processed via
the leather gauntlets (13). Be sure to wear protective gloves, eye and mouth protection!
The abrasive chambers (18) (color code chapter 1) can be selected via the selector
switch (28) located inside the main chamber. With the selector switch (28) you can also
select between recycling and microfine nozzles.
Start or stop the blasting process via the foot switch (36).
With the blast nozzle (24) objects can be blown off.
After finishing work, switch off the device with the main switch (1).

14
Troubleshooting
Jet becomes irregular
a. Abrasive might be dirty →Change
abrasive, maybe take nozzle off and
blow it through.
b. Wrong nozzle being inserted →Please
adhere to the nozzle configuration in
chapter 1.3
(Important for chamber 1 of Microfine
jet blaster).
c. Not enough material in the chamber →
re-fill abrasive.
d. Worn nozzle →Replace nozzle.
Clumped abrasive, condensed water might
be visible.
a. Humidity in the chamber →unscrew lid,
turn device on and if necessary let it
stand for several hours until it has
evaporated - the chambers are heated.
b. Only use dry abrasive material.
Very dusty working area.
a. Insufficient suction power: →change
settings to increase suction power.
b. Filter bag of the suction is full →if
necessary replace filter bag.
c. If necessary clean suction →e.g.
change motor filter.
LED lamp (21) doesn’t shine.
a. Unplug power cord, check it and replug
power cord.
b. Lamp defective →check it and if
necessary replace it.
Trouble with foot switch (15).
Test the power cable and connect it
properly.

15
Maintenance
•Please check the device regularly for damages. Pay attention to visible damages to the
housing, cable or pressure hoses.
•Worn sand blast hoses (32) need replacing. They are not covered by warranty but
considered normal wear and tear. Replacing hoses in the interior can be done on your
own using common tools. Worn hoses in the device have to be replaced by your
distributor or REITEL.
•The chambers should be emptied and cleaned on a regular basis. Release pressure from
the chambers. After removing the drain screws (18) at the back of the device, the
abrasive residues can be collected out of the open chamber using a vacuum cleaner.
•Remove abrasive material in the interior of the unit on a regular basis by loosening the
tubing connection (36) of the recycling sandblaster. Then let the abrasive run out through
the opening in the tray’s bottom (35). Dispose of waste abrasive according to
manufacturer’s indications.
•Clean or replace the suction’s filter regularly.
•Check the water separator, maintenance unit and pressure control (9) on a regular basis
and if necessary let the water flow out through the valve (8).
•Clean the housing regularly with a damp cloth and polish it with the REITEL stainless
steel spray.
Note
Clean and protect your device at regular intervals with the REITEL stainless steel care
spray (order -no.: 90405000) to remove lime, plaster and dust as well as other
contaminants from the surface of the equipment and to prevent corrosion. The spray
creates a lasting, water repellent protective film which helps keep the equipment clean.
