Tips and recommendations
It is necessary to observe the safety notes written in
these operating instructions in order to reduce the risk of
personal injuries and damages to property.
2.2 Obligations of the operating company
The operator is the person who operates the machine
for commercial or economic purposes himself or leaves
it to a third for use or application and bears the legal
product responsibility for the protection of the user, per-
sonnel or third during operation.
If the sandblasting cabinet is used for commercial pur-
poses, the operating company of the sandblasting cabi-
net must comply with the legal working safety regula-
tions. Therefore, the safety notes in this operating
manual, as well as the safety, accident prevention and
environment protection regulations applying for the area
of application of the sandblasting cabinet must be met.
The following applies in particular:
- The operating company must be informed about
the applying industrial safety regulations and fur-
ther analyse hazards resulting from the special
working conditions at the place of use sandblast-
ing cabinet. She must implement these in form of
operating manuals for the operation of the sand-
blasting cabinet.
- During the entire lifetime of the sandblasting cabi-
net, the operating company must verify whether
the operating manuals prepared by her corre-
spond to the current status of the regulations, and
must adapt these if necessary.
- The operating company must unambiguously reg-
ulate and determine the responsibilities for instal-
lation, operation, troubleshooting, maintenance
and cleaning.

Delivery
Check the sandblasting cabin for visible transport
damage after delivery. If you discover any damage,
immediately report it to the transport company or the
dealer.
Transport
The sandblasting cabinet may only be transported up-
right. The sandblasting cabins must not be stacked on
top of each other. Also, no other objects may be parked

pallet. The pallet must be secured in the loading area in
accordance with the regulations. To protect against mo-
isture and dirt, all bare metal parts are greased.
Transport with a forklift / pallet truck:
For transport with a sufficiently dimensioned pallet truck
or forklift, the sandblasting booth must be secured on a
flat, firm surface (for example on a pallet) secured with
bolts.
Packaging
All used packaging materials and packaging aids are
recyclable and should be taken to a materials recycling
depot to be disposed of.The delivery packaging is

of the cabin legs.
Step 3: Check all bolts and nuts for tightness and
tighten if necessary.
Fig. 6: Assembly of the cables at the funnel
Step 4: Secure the blasting line to the funnel with a
hose clamp and connect the compressed air
line to the housing. Guide the blasting line up
through the rack and connect both lines to the
sand blasting gun.
Step 5: The Pedal aconnect to the housing of the SSK
1.5. Make sure that the correct cables (Fig.7)
are connected to each other.

Step 6: Fill the blasting abrasive through the storage
grid into the funnel of the sandblasting
cabinet.
7.2 Electrical connection
Step 1: Check if the mains voltage corresponds to the
voltage indicated on the nameplate.
Step 2: Ensure a good grounding of the sand blasting
cabin.
.
Fig. 9: ground connection
Step 3: Connect the power cord to the mains.
7.3 Compressed air connection
To operate the sand blasting cabin you need a com-
pressor with at least 350 liters / min (SSK1) and 196 li-
ters / min (SSK1.5) Filling capacity and a container size
of at least 50 liters. The generated air must be cleaned,
free of condensate and oil-free.
Adjustable operating pressure SSK 1: 2,8 - 8,0 bar.
Adjustable operating pressureSSK 1.5: 5,5 - 7,9 bar.
Fig. 10: connection compressed air line SSK1
Step 1: Connect the duckbill duct to the compressed
air port on the outside of the cab on the right
side.
Step 2: Extraction with 2m3 / min. Connect the suction
power to the suction connection.
7.4 Air regulation SSK 1.5
The working pressure at the SSK 1.5 can be adjusted to
the side of the SSK with the aid of the regulator (Fig.11).
To adjust the working pressure, pull out the regulator
and turn to the right to pressurize and to the left to
release pressure. Press the control back after setting
the pressure.

DANGER!
Danger to life by electric current!
There is an immediate danger of electrocution on
contact with live components.
- Work on the electrical system only by electricians.
ATTENTION!
The sand blasting cabin must have a good ground-
ing to avoid static electricity and sparking.
ATTENTION!
Moisture in the compressed air impairs the flow of
abrasive and can cause clogging and clogging of
valves and line.
NOTE!
If the pressure drops by several bar, the air supply is
insufficient or blocked.

Step 1: Select a suitable blasting medium and fill in the
sandblasting booth until max. half funnel
height.
Step 2: The workpiece must be free of oil, grease and
moisture. If necessary, clean the workpiece
before placing it in the blast cabinet.
Step 3: Set the desired working pressure at the com-
pressed air supply (compressor). Make sure
that the maximum pressure is not exceeded!
Adjust according to the sensitivity of the mate-
rial set lower working pressure.
Step 4: Connect the sandblast cabin to the com-
pressed air source.
Step 5: Place the workpiece to be machined in the
sandblast booth and switch on the lighting of
the sandblast cabin.
Step 6: Use the integrated protective gloves to hold
the sand blasting gun and the workpiece and
start sandblasting. Hold the sand blasting gun
at an angle of 45 ° to 60 ° to the workpiece,
with the blasting medium being blown away
from the workpiece against the back wall of
the sandblasting cabin. Use the lever to dose
the blasting agent addition
Step 7: After finishing work, disconnect the tool from
the compressed air source and remove the
workpiece.
WARNING!
Danger of life!
There is danger to your life if you do not follow these
rules.
- Never work on the blast cabinet if you are under the
influence of alcohol, drugs or medicines and / or
you are overtired or suffer from concentration-
impairing illnesses..
- The sandblasting cabin may only be operated by
one person. Other persons must keep away from
the work area during operation.
ATTENTION! HEALTH HAZARD
Inhalation of abrasive material and abrasion can
cause lung damage from fumed silica! Possible for-
mation of a silicosis. Information on this
https//de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silikose
Particularly hazardous is the inhalation of
substances with particle sizes below 5 μm!
Never use abrasives with smaller particle sizes than
0,12 mm and make sure the cab is absolutely tight.
Wear respiratory protection.
Use ear protection!
During operation, a noise level of over 85 dB (A)
may occur. From 85 dB (A), ear protection must be
worn!
Use safety goggles!
respiratory protection!
Use safety shoes!
Use protective clothing!
NOTE!
Before using the sand blasting cabin for the first
time, carry out the following points.
- Check all screw connections on the installed
sandblast cabinets and tighten them if necessary.
- Check the sand blasting cabin for leaks.
ATTENTION!
The sandblasting gun must always be directed away
from the operator. Never work with the sandblasting
cabin door open.
ATTENTION!
Never use sand as abrasive.
ATTENTION!
The workpiece must be clean and dry.
NOTE!
The distance of the blasting gun to the object plays an
essential role and should not exceed 20 cm.
