PRE-OPERATIONAL SAFETY CHECKS
•Mobile Blasting Equipment produces a powerful flow of abrasive particles. To avoid personal injury and property damage,
study this manual thoroughly before assembling, operating, or servicing this mobile blasting unit.
•Know your machine. Read this manual carefully. Learn the machine’s applications and limitations, as well as specific potential
hazards peculiar to it.
•Ground all machines. If the machine is equipped with three-pin plug, it should be plugged into a three-pin electrical socket.
Never remove the ground pin.
•Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
•Do not expose tool to moisture. Don't use this machinery in damp or wet locations. Keep out of rain.
•Do not abuse cord. Never use the cord to carry tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, sharp edges
or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
•Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or key that is left attached to a moving part of the
tool may result in personal injury.
•Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark work areas invite accidents.
•Keep children away. All children should be kept away from the work area. Never let a child handle a tool without strict adult
supervision.
•Do not operate this tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning labels on descriptions to determine if your
judgment or reflexes are impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not attempt to operate.
•Do not overreach. Always keep proper footing and balance when operating this product.
•Always disconnect the machine before making any adjustments, storing, servicing, or changing accessories. Such
preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
•Use clamps or other practical means to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body may lead to a loss of control.
•Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
•Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
•Check for damage. Check your tool regularly. If part of the tool is damaged it should be carefully inspected to make sure that
it can perform its intended function correctly. If in doubt, the part should be repaired. Refer all servicing to a qualified
technician. Consult your dealer for advice.
•Keep away from flammables. Do not attempt to operate this tool near flammable materials or combustibles. Failure to
comply may cause serious injury or death.
•Store idle tools out of the reach of children and untrained persons. Tools may be dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
•During operation, do not expose the hands or skin directly in the line of the blast nozzle.
•Always wear personal protective gear (hood, respirator, earmuffs and gloves).
•Fire or Explosion Hazard! DO NOT USE an abrasive media blaster around combustible or flammable liquids, dusts, gases, oily
rags, or other materials that can explode or burn quickly. Some abrasives create sparks when they hit a metallic surface
and/or generate static electricity sparks which may cause fires or explosions in an unsafe environment.

around your workshop. Durable wheels and built-in handle allow for easy transport. Simply add abrasive and hook up to an air and power
supply and you're ready to blast. Some assembly required. Note: TradeQuip Walnut Shells cannot be used in this mobile blasting unit.”
2. ASSEMBLY
Unpacking: after removing the packing material, make sure the product is in perfect condition and that there are no visible
damaged parts.
The packaging materials (Polyethylene bags, polystyrene etc.), must be disposed of responsibly in an appropriate refuse
collection container. These materials must not be left within the reach of children as they are potential sources of danger.
Contents:
Instruction Manual, Brush Head Assemblies, Wheels, Castors, Hardwar Bag, Wheel Axle, Handle.
1. Lay carton on its side to take the unit out.
2. Remove all packing materials from abrasive blaster. Release the two snap locks on the vacuum assembly and remove
the vacuum head to take the Vacuum Hose and Abrasive Hose out.
3. Install the castors and the wheels on the frame base. Install the handle on the tank.
4. Fill 9 –16kgs. of abrasive into the bottom container.
5. Reattach the vacuum head to the tank, making certain both snap locks are securely locked down.
6. Insert the end of Vacuum Hose with Coupler into the tank and screw the other end without coupler in the coupler on
the brush head assembly. Install one end of the Abrasive Hose with a hose clamp on the end of the male air connector.
Install the other end of Abrasive Hose with a hose clamp on the abrasive outlet manifold.
Note: Ideal operating air pressure is 115 psi. DO NOT exceed 140 psi.
You are now ready to begin work with your Abrasive Blast/Vacuum.
3. BEFORE USE
Conduct a thorough visual inspection checking for leaks and any abnormal conditions, such as cracked welds, leaks, and
damaged, loose, or missing parts.

4. OPERATION
1. If protective head gear and respiration is not already in place, put it on now.
2. Set air compressor to 115 psi. (More or less, depending on the surface to be cleaned.)
3. Connect air hose coupling to air coupling connector located on gun handle.
4. Connect power cord to power source.
5. With gun pointed at surface to be cleaned, turn the power switch on the vacuum head to the ON position.
6. Have one hand holding the gun while the other hand holds the brush handle. Note: Do not apply pressure with the
brush against the surface being cleaned! The brush function is only intended to prevent abrasive waste and to develop
and maintain a closed vacuum cycle for the abrasive to be recycled. The brush is NOT intended to assist in the abrasion
process.
7. Move both hands in the direction where rust removal or pre-finish work is required.
8. By lengthening or shortening the nozzle with the set nut, you will vary the size of the blast stream.
9. The bristle brush is for flat surfaces and for angles and corners. Before starting, spread out the bristles in such a way
that it does not cover the jet spray inside the brush. (The abrasives will eventually wear out the bristles). On car door
edges, we recommend that you wrap the bristles around the edge, which will generate better vacuum, better coverage,
safety, and results.
10. After each job, lift off vacuum head and knock dust from the filter.
11. After 1 hour of continuous blasting, lift out the vacuum head and blow off dust with direct air or vacuum.
12. When blasting a 90-degree corner, align the gun at a 45-degree angle to reach the deepest area. Move the gun in a
slow, circular motion for best results.
Health Considerations:
1. Protect yourself and those around you from 'overspray'. Remember that your mobile blaster is shooting powerful
spray of abrasive material
2. Do not point it at yourself or anyone around you
3. Always wear personal protective equipment
4. Wear a filter or mask over your mouth when operating this unit. You will create a cloud of abrasive material and
debris which is dangerous to inhale
5. Remove, cover, and/or protect anything around you that might be damaged from direct or indirect contact with
the abrasive spray or particles.
5. STORAGE
This mobile blasting unit should always be stored in a dry indoor location on a level surface.
6. MAINTENANCE
Check for worn abrasive hose and fittings. The abrasive control valve, manifold and all parts after the abrasive is ejected
from the tank are subject to rapid wear due to the flow of abrasive media. Check for leaks, blistering, bulging or thinness of
the hose. Replace all parts which appear worn immediately.
7. SERVICE & REPAIR
Any mobile blasting unit found damaged in any way, or found to be worn or operates abnormally should be removed from
service until repaired by an authorised service agent. Owners and / or operators should be aware that repair of this product
may require specialised equipment and knowledge. Only authorised parts, labels, decals shall be used on this equipment.
Annual inspection of the mobile blasting unit is recommended and can be made by an authorised repair facility to ensure
that your equipment is in optimum condition and that the equipment has the correct decals and safety labels specified by
the manufacturer.
