2. SAFETY
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
BATTERY-operated (cordless) power tool.
1. Work area safety:
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating this power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical Safety:
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a RESIDUAL CURRENT
DEVICE (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal Safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools my result in
serious personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or BATTERY pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of this tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury
within a fraction of a second.
4. Power tool use and care:
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and o󰀨. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the BATTERY pack, if
detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.

maintenance.
• Any abrasive material on the o-ring may lead to leakage and early wear of the o-ring. After
lling, clean the thread and o-ring before applying the lid.
• Solvents will create cracks in the jar and weaken the jar (danger of explosion!). Clean the lid
and tank only with a dry cloth. Do not write or adhere anything to the jar or lid.
• Check for damages on the lids and tanks regularly and replace them if there is any doubt of
the structural integrity.
• Before operation, check to make certain the lid is secured properly. Using the product without
the lid secured will create a serious explosive hazard.
• Never operate the blasting units without suitable dust extraction and appropriate protective
gear. The type of dust extraction should be based on the type dust generated. Ask the proper
authorities.
• Never direct the blasting material towards eyes or unprotected areas of skin. Improper use
can result in risk of eye or skin injuries.
• Never work with the glass door open.
• Do not depress the foot switch when only the compressed air supply hose is connected. The
loose hose could wrap around itself and cause serious injury.
• Maintain equipment and accessories. Check for breakage of parts and any other condition
that may a󰀨ect the equipment’s operation.

INSTALLATION & OPERATION
1. Remove the unit and all packaging material from the box. Check against the packing list.
2. For units with lights: Plug the DC Power Supply into the jack on the unit's light and plug the
other end into a standard outlet.
3. Unscrew lid(s) on abrasive storage tank(s) and ll to the line marked on the tank. Do not
overll as clogging may result.
4. Inspect lid and tank for any cracks or areas that might create leaks. Ensure the threads on
the tank and lid are clean of abrasive before screwing the lid securely back into place. Do not
over-tighten.
5. Use the plumbing diagrams at the end of these instructions to locate the tting on the back of
the unit to connect your air supply line. Most units come equipped with a barbed tting for a
1/4" (6mm) ID (inside diameter) hose while the IO/Master units come equipped with a quick
disconnect tting for a 1/4" (6mm) OD (outside diameter) air line. All Vaniman units are shipped
with both ttings included to meet the customer's needs. For more help on connecting your
unit to an air supply visit:
www.vaniman.com/air-supply-connections-blasters/
6. Regulate air pressure by turning the air regulator knob, pulling up on the knob to unlock and
pressing back down to lock. The pressure reading will be indicated on the pressure gauge
and should NOT be adjusted above 100 psi (7 BARS).
7. Never depressurize the system by disconnecting the air supply line while under pressure;
abrasive will be forced into the foot valve and regulator, causing damage. Before disconnecting
the air supply line, turn the regulator down (counterclockwise) until the pressure gauge reads
zero.

8. Press the foot pedal to start the ow of air and blasting media. Release the foot pedal to stop
the ow.
9. It is recommended that a dust collector is attached to the unit to remove excess media and
improve visibility during blasting.
ENGLISH
MAINTENANCE
Vaniman blasters are designed to be low maintenance. However, as the materials used in a
microblaster are abrasive by design, components do wear out. A few minor areas should be
maintained regularly for a long product life.
Handpieces Hoses:
Check handpiece hoses for wear regularly. When hose feels thin or holes develop, the tubing
should be replaced.
On the rear of IO/Master units, there is a pinch valve that controls the ow of media by squeezing
andreleasing the handpiece tube. This will be the point of highest wear on the tubing and
therefore the hose should be moved periodically in order to wear a new section of hose. If a
hole develops, replace the tubing.
Handpiece Tip Installation:
It is imperative that the handpiece tip and sealing o-ring be installed correctly and securely to
avoid damage or leaks. Install in the manner shown in Figure 1 and ensure the tip and o-ring
sit evenly in the assembly.
Tanks:
When installing the lids on the tanks, be sure the lid is rid of any blasting material or debris.
If the tank or lid begins to wear, replace immediately. Do not over-tighten the lid on the unit.
The ttings on the bottom of the tank are designed for easy maintenance of the hoses. To
remove a handpiece tubing from quick disconnect tting, push toward the tank on the plastic
ring while pulling the tubing out. Do not remove the hose ttings while tank is full of media
and upright; turn the tank upside down or empty before removing hoses. To replace, be sure
the tting and hose are free of debris or abrasives and push the hose rmly into the tting. Be
sure the tube reaches beyond the black o-ring that is just above the quick disconnect tting
in the tank. Improper installation will result in leakage and damage to the tanks.

Glass Window:
Included with the unit is a free "Static-Cling" blasting shield for the inside of the window. These
are inexpensive protection for the viewing clarity of the window. To install, pull o󰀨 the backing
on the shield and adhere to the inside of the window. Replace when necessary.
Moisture:
Vaniman blaster regulators include a lter for small amounts of oil and moisture. If moisture
causes the media to clump or cake in the tanks, improper media ow will result. Be sure the
air supply is relatively oil and moisture free. Installation of a heavy duty air lter/dryer between
the air supply and unit may be required.
