1.3. GENERAL SAFETY
WARNING! Ensure Health & Safety, government and local authority regulations relating to the use of shot blasting are adhered to
when using this equipment. Familiarise yourself with the applications, limitations and potential hazards peculiar to the cabinet.
WARNING! Disconnect the cabinet from the mains power and the air supply before attempting to change accessories or carry out
any servicing or maintenance.
9Maintain the cabinet in good condition. Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be

Sealey item B5KG. Never use fluids or mix fluids with another media in the unit.
WARNING! Always wear coveralls, approved eye or face masks and ear protection when operating the cabinet.
9Keep the unit lid closed and secured when in use.
WARNING! Ensure correct air pressure is maintained and NOT exceeded. (Max 90psi).
9Always keep the blast nozzle directed at the workpiece. Never use outside the unit and always use with the lid closed.
9Regularly check that the exhaust vent and filter at the back of the cabinet is clear and not blocked and that there is space between it
and any wall.
9Ensure the floor is clean and free from blasting media spillage; use a type “H” vacuum cleaner with a hepa filter.
9Keep children and non-essential persons away from the work area.

4. AIR SUPPLY
4.1. You will require an air pressure of 60-90psi, and an air volume of 12cfm to operate the unit efficiently.
WARNING! Ensure air supply is clean, dry and does not exceed 90psi. Too high an air pressure and/or unclean or damp air will
shorten the product life due to excessive wear and may be dangerous, causing possible damage and/or personal injury.
4.2. Drain the air supply tank daily. Clean compressor air inlet filter weekly. For recommended hook-up see diagram below.
4.3. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres).The minimum hose and fittings
bore should be 10mm.
4.4. Keep hoses away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear and poor connections.
Cabinet input connection is 1/4”BSP.
5. ASSEMBLY
5.1. Unpack the product and check contents. Should there be any damaged or missing parts contact your supplier immediately.
NOTE: Use PTFE tape on all threaded joints.
5.1.1. TO FIT AIR CONNECTION (fig.2, fig.3)
5.1.1.1. Remove 1/4” BSP fitting (fig3.-2) and one steel washer (fig.3-1) from air hose connector (fig.2-1), leaving one steel washer (fig.2-2)
on connector (fig.2-1)).
5.1.1.2. Pass connector (fig.2-1) through hole from inside of cabinet with washer (fig.2-2) against tank side. Secure from outside using washer
(fig.3-1) and fitting (fig.3-2).
5.1.2. TO FIT MEDIA HOSE (fig.4, fig.5)
5.1.2.1. Remove nut (fig.5-2) from media delivery hose fitting (fig.4-1) Pass fitting (fig.4-1) through hole in base of cabinet and fix firmly in
place from the underside of the cabinet using nut (fig.5-1) and washer (fig.5.2).
5.1.3. FILTER ASSEMBLIES (fig.6, fig.7)

6. OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply safety instructions in Section 1 before using the unit.
NOTE! We strongly recommend that a suitable dust extraction system is used with this unit.
If dust extraction is not used, media may be forced out of the joints as pressure builds up.
6.1. Check all fittings to ensure there are no air leaks.
6.2. Pour the abrasive media into the centre of the cabinet. DO NOT use more than 10lbs (4.5kg). Excessive amounts of abrasive will
impair visibility, create poor blasting performance and could block the air exhaust.
6.3. The unit is supplied with four ceramic nozzles being 4, 5, 6, & 7mm hole diameter respectively. The choice of nozzle depends on the
size of the blasting media. Coarse media should be used with the larger nozzles, fine media should be used with the smaller
nozzles. To fit a new nozzle, unscrew the nozzle retaining ring, remove the existing nozzle and replace with the new one.
6.4. Plug the transformer into mains socket and transformer lead plug into light switch box and the unit is ready for use.
6.5. Place the workpiece in the cabinet and close and latch the lid securely.
6.6. Connect the air supply to the inlet on the side of the cabinet. Ensure the gun valve is in the “o󰀨” position before connecting the
air supply.
WARNING! Failure to securely close the lid could result in damage and/or personal injury.
6.7. Turn on light and air supply and insert hands into cabinet gloves. Grasp gun and depress the trigger to start the blasting process.
6.8. Move the blast media (which looks like steam) continuously over the workpiece in an even and circular motion. To avoid undesirable
peening the flow should not be too hard or concentrated. The surface finish may vary from coarse to fine depending on the size of the
abrasive media. On delicate workpieces, to avoid unnecessary peening or excessive abrasion, begin the blasting with a low airflow.

7. MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Ensure the cabinet is disconnected from the electrical mains and the air supply before attempting
any maintenance.
7.1. Ensure the blasting media does not become damp. Keep the air supply dry at all times. Dispose of any damp media.
7.2. When media has become excessively dusty it loses its granular or spherical appearance, or is significantly contaminated
with debris from workpieces. This is usually noticed when media from the nozzle looks like a smoke cloud rather than steam.
7.3. Regularly check that the exhaust vents at the side and rear of the cabinet are clear.
7.4. Regularly check gun blast nozzle to ensure it does not become blocked with media. Immediately replace worn or damaged nozzle.
7.5. If abrasive pick-up hose becomes blocked, cover the gun tip to force air back through the hose. Ensure the lid is correctly closed.
7.6. Replace the transparent protective sheet on the underside of the Perspex window when visibility becomes reduced.
