by removing the white blanking plug (Fig.1) situated on the upper left corner at the rear of the tank when viewed from the front.
This however will not substitute a suitable dust extraction system.
1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
REGARDING DIRECT MAINS POWER USE WITH THE TRANSFORMER PLUG.
WARNING! It is the user’s responsibility to read, understand and comply with the following electrical instructions:
You must ensure the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices. An RCCB (Residual Current Circuit
Breaker) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with all
electrical products, particularly portable equipment which is plugged into an electrical supply not protected by an RCCB.
You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
1.1.1. The Electricity At Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, to be tested by
a qualified electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
1.1.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of the appliance
and the safety of the appliance operator. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.1.3. You must ensure that you:
Inspect the transformer plug, cable, and plug for wear and damage to ensure items are safe before connecting to the mains power supply. If
worn or damaged DO NOT use and immediately replace, or contact a qualified electrician.
Check cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
Important: Check that the voltage marked on the transformer plug is the same as the power supply to be used.
Uncoil the lead from the transformer before use.
 DO NOT attempt to pull the transformer plug from the mains socket by the lead.
 DO NOT use any other type of transformer with the cabinet.
 DO NOT try to open or dis-assemble the transformer plug or charging base.
 DO NOT use the transformer plug to power any other electrical item.
 DO NOT get the transformer wet, or use in wet, damp conditions (for indoor use only).
 WARNING!NEVER substitute a standard 13 amp 3 pin plug, or any other type of plug, for the transformer plug .

3. AIR SUPPLY & ASSEMBLY
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. You can alleviate this to some extent by
removing the white blanking plug (Fig.1) situated on the upper left corner at the rear of the tank when viewed from the front. This
however will not substitute a suitable dust extraction system.
4.1. Connect the air supply to the inlet on the side of the cabinet. Ensure the gun valve is in the "off" position before connecting the air supply.
4.2. Check all fittings to ensure there are no air leaks.
4.3. 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.
4.4. 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.
4.5. Plug the transformer into mains socket and transformer lead plug into light switch box and the unit is ready for use.
4.6. Place the workpiece in the cabinet and close and latch the lid securely.
WARNING! Failure to securely close the lid could result in damage and/or personal injury.
4.7. Turn on light and air supply and insert hands into cabinet gloves. Grasp gun and depress the trigger to start the blasting process.
4.8. 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.
3.1. Air supply
3.1.1. You will require an air pressure of 60-90psi, and an air volume of 12cfm to operate the unit efficiently.
3.1.2. 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.
3.1.3. Drain the air supply tank daily. Clean compressor air inlet filter weekly. For recommended hook-up see diagram below.
3.1.4. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for
unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres).
The minimum hose and fittings bore should be 10mm.
3.1.5. Keep hoses away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
Check hoses for wear and poor connections.
3.1.6. Cabinet input connection is 1/4”BSP.
3.2. Assembly
3.2.1. Unpack the product and check contents. Should there be any damaged or missing parts contact your supplier immediately.
3.2.2. Push plastic suction hose (14) onto small diameter end of steel suction tube (15). Fit suction tube (15) under clips in base of cabinet.
3.2.3. Remove fitting (18) and one steel washer (17) from air hose connector (16), leaving on one steel washer (17) and rubber washer.
Put connector (16) through hole in side of cabinet and secure with washer (17) and fitting (18).
3.2.4. Remove blanking plug from rear panel Fig.1.
3.2.5. Fit screen (23) into cabinet with angled corner to rear right hand side, to allow suction hose (14) through.
