SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SANDBLASTER

1. Before opening the tank release the air pressure on the sand tank. To do this, turn off

the air supply valve(#14) to release pressure in the line. Be sure that the tank pressure

gauge (#05) reads zero then open the tank.

2. Maintain correct air pressure. Pressure should not exceed 125PSI. If it does, the safety

valve (#06) is supposed to release the excess pressure. If it doesn’t release excess

pressure, stop all work immediately and use the air compressor to reduce the excess

pressure. Do not investigate the sandblaster’s pressure problem until the pressure

gauge (#05) reads zero.

3. When using pneumatic equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed

to reduce the risk of personal injury and hazards due to over pressurization.

4. Do not operate the unit when tired or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

5. When servicing only use parts and accessories intended for use with this unit.

6. Do not allow sand blaster to be pressurized while unattended or not in use.

WARNING: The warnings and cautions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover

all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator

that common sense and caution are factors that cannot be built into this product but must

be supplied by the operator.

ASSEMBLY USE PTFE tape for all threaded air connections 1. Assemble the intake manifold (#08). Attach the pressure gauge (#05) to the top of the intake manifold (#08), and turn the gauge so that it can be seen across the top of the tank. Next, attach the sand meter valve (#18) to the bottom of the manifold (#08). Attach the connector (#07A) to the bottom of the sand meter valve (#18); attach the nipple connectors (#07) to the manifold (#08).

ABRASIVE SELECTION The kind of sand you choose will greatly influence the amount of time needed to clean a given surface area. Sandblasting materials include silicon carbide, alumina, silica sand, bank sand and beach sand. However, bank sand and beach sand even if washed, will still contain shell, coral and organic materials. These absorb moisture much more readily than the other material. As a result, the moisture in bank sand and beach sands frequently causes plugging of the sand meter valve.

MAINTENANCE 1. You should make every effort to protect your air compressor from any damage it may receive from your sandblaster working. The best option is to keep the compressor in a separate room from the sandblaster, and using a long hose to provide the PSI needed to do work. A second choice is to keep the compressor up wind from the sandblasting and the greater the distance between them the better. 2. Some parts of the sandblaster will wear much more rapidly than others.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: When using tools such as your air compressor, whether powered by electric motor or gasoline engine, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING 1. Keep the work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries. 2. Consider work area environment. Don’t use sandblaster in damp, wet or poorly lit locations. Keep work area well lit.

TROUBLE SHOOTING PROBLEM Surging of blast flow? Air pressure too low Too much media Excessive media consumption? Media valve open too far Air pressure too low Clogging and plugging of blast flow? Debris in media Media size too large Nozzle plugs Wet media Moisture in abrasive media? Wet media Water in air Water in tank Humid weather? Moderate humidity Moderate humidity High humidity Overtaxed compressor? Compressor too small Nozzle size too large Too many leaks in air lines Holes in abrasive hose Air filter
