ASSEMBLY
The unit is shipped fully assembled, except for the air vent filter and the
gun with attached hoses. First, remove the grid and all the various loose
components from within the cabinet.
The end of the air inlet hose, connected to the gun, is inserted through
the 16mm dia. hole in the cabinet from the inside, as shown in Fig 2. En-
sure a flat washer is threaded on to the adapter as shown.
Thread a flat washer, followed by the extended nut, onto the adapter,
from the outside of the cabinet, and tighten. Insert the circular foam filter
into the recess in the Air Vent Cover, and attach the cover to the rear of
the cabinet as shown in Fig 3, having first prised out the plastic bung from
the vent hole.
ASSEMBLY
The pick up hose should be attached to the bottom of the cabinet as
shown in Fig 4, using the large washer and nut underneath.
Replace the grid, ensuring the feet face downwards with the cut away
section at the rear of the cabinet.
Finally, connect the air supply to the extended nut shown in Fig 5. Use of
the PTFE tape supplied with ensure an airtight seal.
• The air supply should be dry and capable of delivering a minimum
of 10 cu ft/min at 100 lbf/in.

OPERATION OPERATION
When completed, release the trigger then turn off the air supply. As a
precautionary measure, ALWAYS pull the trigger before opening the lid.
There are no hard or fast rules governing nozzle sizes and air pressures
used with different abrasives. With experience and experimentation you
will quickly learn the best combinations for the required result.
On more delicate parts, start with minimal air pressure to avoid
unnecessary peaning or excessive abrasion, and work up to a setting to
produce the desired finish.
Should any abrasive be spilled, ensure it is cleaned up immediately, as its
slippery properties can be hazardous.
OPERATION
Plug the transformer into the power supply and switch the power ON.
Switch the lamp ON by pushing the rocker switch on the switch box ‘I’.
Switch OFF by pushing ‘O’.
Ensure all air connections are secure, and the pick up is correctly located
beneath the grid, before filling the cabinet with abrasive media. Do not fill
higher than the level of the grid.
NOTE: PTFE tape is provided which may be used on the threads of the
various connectors to ensure an airtight connection. Select the ceramic
abrasive nozzle to produce the jet required for the abrasive media being
used, and assemble according to the instructions given below.
Place the object to be cleaned in the cabinet, and close the lid, securing
with the two swivel clips.
Set the pressure to the required value, but not higher than 100lbf/in2, and
check to ensure there are no air leaks. Should there be any, turn off the air
supply and repair where necessary, before turning the supply back on. Pull
the trigger on the gun and proceed to blast the object to be cleaned.
Keep the jet facing the object and away from the clear plastic lid. Do not
allow the jet to train on the rubber gloves, the air hose within the cabinet
or the fluorescent lamp.

REPLACING THE ABRASIVE NOZZLE
Ensure the air supply is disconnected before performing this operation.
1. Pull the trigger of the gun as a precautionary measure.
2. Unscrew the end cap and withdraw the ceramic nozzle.
3. Replace with the nozzle of your choice and carefully thread the end
cap back on to the gun, taking great care NOT to cross thread the fine
thread.
NOTE: Should it be necessary to change the air nozzle, first remove the
abrasive nozzle as described above. A box spanner will be
required to unscrew and withdraw the air nozzle.
MAINTENANCE
Before use, check to ensure that all parts are serviceable, including the air
inlet hose and rubber gloves.
Ensure the air vent foam filter is in place.
The swivel clamps, securing the lid, must be secure so as not to allow the
lid to open during operation. The build up of air pressure within the cabi-
net could force the lid open, allowing abrasive to escape. This is not only
wasteful, but could be a health hazard.
Ensure the filters are serviceable and seated correctly.
Ensure you comply with all precautions regarding the use of compressed
air, and air compressor operation.

CHANGING THE FLUORESCENT TUBE
Ensure the transformer is disconnected from the power supply before
opening the door and cutting the two ties securing the lamp to its retain-
ing clips. Carefully pull the lamp from the retaining clips then hold the clear
plastic protective outer tube firmly and ease off the plastic end cover from
the nonwired end. (This may take a little persuasion and perseverance).
Once the end cover has been removed, hold the end cover at the opposite
end (the cable input end), and pull off the outer protective clear plastic
tube. The fluorescent tube is now fully revealed.
Pull off the end connector, which secures a wire to one of the pins, taking
care not to distort the aluminium reflector. Then pull off the wire secured
by a plastic sheath to one of the pins at the cable input end.
Assemble in reverse order, ensuring the wires are correctly held by the plas-
tic sheath at one end and the end connector at the other, with the reflector
correctly in position.
Re-fit the assembly into its retaining clips and test its operation by plugging
the transformer into the mains.
TROUBLESHOOTING

cabinet.
No dust extract device
used.
Install dust extract
device.
Air vent or overflow
blocked.
Clean rear vent and
keep vent away from
any wall.
Abrasive media worn. Replace abrasive media
Too much abrasive me-
dia in the cabinet.
Remove excessive
media.
Loose airline or loose
connections.
Tighten fittings and
ensure airline is secure.
Uneven blasting
action
Too much abrasive me-
dia in the cabinet.
Remove excessive
media.
Abrasive is damp. Renew abrasive or dry
thoroughly before use.
Moisture present inside
cabinet.
Check airline to ensure it
is free from moisture.
Inadequate speed or
inefficient blast.
Abrasive media worn. Replace abrasive media
Pressure too low. Increase inlet pressure
and ensure control valve
is fully open.

present
Dry weather conditions. Leave the item to be
cleaned on the grid.
Excessive media
blown into the
surrounding
atmosphere when no
vacuum extract is
being used.
