5. 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. You can alleviate this to some
extent by removing the white blanking plug (Fig.2) 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.
5.1. Connect the air supply to the inlet on the front of the cabinet.Ensurethegunvalveisinthe“off”positionbeforeconnectingtheair
supply.
5.2. Check all fittings to ensure that there are no air leaks.
5.3.  Pourtheabrasivemediaintothecentreofthecabinet.DO NOT usemorethan4.5kg.Excessiveamountsofabrasivewillimpair 
visibility, create poor blasting performance and could block the air exhaust.
5.4.  Fittherequirednozzleintothegunandretainwiththesetscrews.Thelargertheabrasiveparticles,thelargerthenozzlerequired.
5.5.  Plugthetransformerintoamainssocketandthetransformerleadintothesocketonthebackofthecabinet.
5.6.  Placetheworkpieceinthecabinetandcloseandlatchthedoor(s)securely.
WARNING! Failuretoclosethedoorssecurelycouldresultindamageand/orpersonalinjury.

5.8.  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.
