PREPARATION
Note: Item numbers given below refer to the parts listing on page 6.
1. Check for transportation or handling damage.
2. Lay the carton on its side and wheel the unit out. Do not stand it back up until Step 9.
2. Make sure all parts and accessories are included.
3. Remove all packing material.
4. Remove the Vacuum Head Assembly and the Debris Container.
5. Remove the two items stored underneath the Debris Container during shipping: Tubular Handle,
Gun+Head Assembly.
6. Install the Tubular Handle with the nuts and screws provided (see picture on Page 6).
7. Remove the Hose Assembly from the bag and insert the Abrasive Hose (the smaller of the two
hoses), which protrudes past the Vacuum Hose, through the hole at the back of the unit. Connect it to
the air outlet underneath the base of the unit.
8. Connect the Vacuum Hose to the connecting outlet on the container. Stand the unit back up.
9. Pour 20-40 LB (11-18 kg) of abrasive through the strainer at the bottom into the Abrasive Container
underneath. It is not necessary to remove the strainer.
10. Connect the Vacuum Hose and Abrasive Hose to the Blast Head and the Air Line to the Blast Gun.
Use the white clamp provided for the Abrasive Hose.
11. Re-insert the Debris Container.
12. Re-install the Vacuum Head and clamp in position.
13. When ready to operate, connect the Power Cord and turn on the Power Switch.
NOTES ON USE AND OPERATION
1. Use Air Pressure between 75 and 100 PSI depending on the surface to be cleaned.
2. Air Volume should be between 8 to 22 CFM (optimum: 16-20 CFM).
3. Use one hand to hold the Blast Gun and the other to hold the Blast Head as shown below.
4. Do not press downwards - the brush’s function is to reduce the escape of abrasive and to maintain a
vacuum for the effi cient recycling of the abrasive.
5. Move both hands in the same direction.
6. The blast area may be varied by lengthening or shortening the nozzle with the Lock Bolt (Item 30,
Page 6).
7. Careful placement of the brush over the area to be cleaned is very important. The bristles
should be spread out so that the abrasive spray inside does not impact the bristles. This precaution
will preserve the bristles, improve the vacuum eff ect, create better coverage and utimately result in
better savings, safety and results.
8. The fl at 1-1/4” brush (Part No. 27-611) is supplied with the unit. Four additional specialty brushes are
available. The same precautions should be followed when using these brushes.
9. When working on a 90° corner, alin the gun at a 45° angle to reach the deepest area. Move the gun in
a slow rotating motion for the best results.

glass beads, metal shot, aluminum oxide, • Air pressure: variable to 150 PSI
nut shells, plastic pearls, baking soda etc. • Fume grade fi lter standard, HEPA available
• Uses standard air fi ttings • Motor Speed: 19,600 RPM
SYMPTOM CAUSE AND REMEDY
Decrease in blast performance Low air presure. Check compressor and hose connections for
leaks. Check CFM and PSI input.
Moisture in the abrasive.
The air supply must be clean and dry.
Abrasive is worn or too fi ne and does not cut the surface.
Vacuum Filter needs cleaning; debris collects with the media.
Gun blockage. Disconnect air and power, unscrew nozzle, use a
paper clip or thin wire to clear the passageway.
Decrease in vacuum performance Filter needs cleaning.
Check vacuum lines for blockage or leakage.
Check CFM input.
Abrasive escapes from between
bristles of brush
Air pressure is too high.
Check vacuum lines for blockage or leakage.
