WARNING! DO not use a Pressure Blaster until you have read this manual and you understand its contents and warnings. These warnings are included for the health and safety of the operator and those in the immediate vicinity. Keep this manual for future reference. Dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities may contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm and respiratory illnesses.
SPECIFICATIONS Tank Volume Hose Length: Working Pressure Air Consumption: Overall Dimensions: Weight: 20 gallon 8 feet 60-110 PSI 6-25cfm 35”×24”×15” 55 lbs SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS You will need these instructions for the safety instructions, the operating procedures, the parts list and the warranty. Put them in a safe and dry place for future reference.
PRESSURE BLASTER SAFETY PROCEDURES CAUTION: READ THESE SAFETY PROCEDURES IN THEIR ENTIRETY-PARTS OF THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ARE WITHIN THESE WARNINGS. These procedures are not intended to be exhaustive due to the many variables in the abrasive blasting field. Therefore, we INSIST that the hands, ears, mouth, nose and eyes be covered with appropriate safety protection at all times. ADDITIONAL WARNINGS! CAUTION MUST BE EXERCISED BY USER AT ALL TIMES 1.
9. For safe operation, perform recommended preventive maintenance on blaster tank, remote unit and accessories. Replace all worn parts before they fail. Immediate replacement of worn components is required. Failure to replace worn components could result in exposing the operator or bystanders to high speed media and compressed air, causing serious injury. 10. Do not use corrosive materials of any type in unit. Use only clean, dry media. 11. Do not splice abrasive hose.
ASSEMBING THE ABRASIVE BLASTER 1. Refer to the drawing for step 1, assembling the intake manifold (15). First, attach the pressure gauge (16), to the top of the intake manifold, turning the gauge so that is can be see across the top of the tank. Next, attach the throttling valve (19A) to the bottom of the manifold. Attach the nipple connector (21), to the throttling valve. Attach the joint pipe (14), to the manifold. 2. Refer to the drawing for step 2, to assemble the water trap filter (18).
MAINTENANCE WARNING! Failure to observe the following before performing any maintenance could cause serious injury or death from the sudden release of compressed air: · · · · Depressurize the blast machine. Disconnect power supply. Lockout and tag out the compressed air supply. Bleed the air supply line to the blast gun. Immediate replacement of worn components is required.
OTHER MAINTENANCE ITEMS: 1. You should make every effort to protect your air compressor from any damage it may receive from your abrasive blasting work. Your best option is to keep the compressor up wind from the abrasive blasting, and the greater the distance between them, the better. Other than that, you should continue standard maintenance procedures for the compressor. 2.
AIR COMPRESSOR RECOMMENDATION: To permit efficient operation of your air compressor, follow these guidelines: 1. Use a smaller size nozzle to control the demand of air. 2. Do not blast continuously. Stop blasting operation periodically to allow the compressor to cool. No compressor is designed to constantly run at full RPM. Use 70% of the rated output. 3. Use a minimum 1/2” air hose or metal piping from your air compressor to the blaster.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING TECHNIQUE: 1. Connect air hose to air inlet valve. Manufacturer recommends using minimum incoming air hose of 1/2” I.D. Using an air hose smaller than 1/2” I.D. will restrict air volume and result in poor unit operation. Prior to Injection of air, be certain air inlet valve and nozzle valve are in the OFF position. With Deadman Valve closed and filler plug tight, open air inlet valve allowing air to pressurize.
Warning! Do not fill the pressure vessel to within six (6) inches of the top of the vessel. If a hose is accidentally disconnected during use media spray may occur. See respiratory related WARNINGS at the beginning of the manual. Coal Slag Coal Slag is used when paint and rust has to be removed from steel, such as Car bodies, tanks or heavy machinery. Coal Slag is superior to silica because it only has 0.
AIR ABRASIVE SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS Abrasive blasting requires a large volume of air at high pressure. The efficiency of your abrasive blaster can be adversely affected by the use of too small an air supply hose, insufficient air pressure or an overly large nozzle.
9. Close the nozzle shut-off valve (19B), and open the air supply valve (19). 10. Listen for air leaks at the filler cap as you begin to pressurize the tank from the compressor. Fix any leaks before operating.
