1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
REGARDING DIRECT MAINS POWER USE WITH THE TRANSFORMER PLUG.
p 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:
3Inspect 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.
3Check cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
3Important: Check that the voltage marked on the transformer plug is the same as the power supply to be used.
3Uncoil the lead from the transformer before use.
7DO NOT attempt to pull the transformer plug from the mains socket by the lead.
7DO NOT use any other type of transformer with the cabinet.
7DO NOT try to open or dis-assemble the transformer plug or charging base.
7DO NOT use the transformer plug to power any other electrical item.
7DO NOT get the transformer wet, or use in wet, damp conditions (for indoor use only).
pWARNING! NEVER substitute a standard 13 amp 3 pin plug, or any other type of plug, for the transformer plug .

3. AIR SUPPLY & ASSEMBLY
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
pWARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply safety instructions in Section 1 before using the unit.
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. Fit suitably sized jet and nozzle into the gun bore and retain with the set screws.
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.
pWARNING! 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.
5. MAINTENANCE
pWARNING! Ensure the cabinet is disconnected from the electrical mains and the air supply before attempting any maintenance.
5.1. Ensure the blasting media does not become damp. Keep the air supply dry at all times. Dispose of any damp media.
5.2. Replace media when it has become excessively dusty, 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.
5.3. Regularly check that the exhaust vents at the side and rear of the cabinet are clear.
5.4. Regularly check gun blast nozzle to ensure it does not become blocked with media. Immediately replace worn or damaged nozzle.
5.5. If abrasive pick-up hose becomes blocked, cover the gun tip to force air back through the hose. Ensure the lid is correctly closed.
5.6. Replace the transparent protective sheet on the underside of the perspex window when visibility becomes reduced.
