ATD-8401

40LB SANDBLASTER

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

DESCRIPTION:

ATD sandblasting equipment is designed for cleaning and removing rust, scale, paint and

dirt. It is the ideal method for stripping, polishing and etching projects. This equipment can

be used with abrasive powders and liquids. This model is equipped with the standard use

ceramic nozzle.

SAFETY WARNING & CAUTIONS:

Warning: When using pneumatic equipment, basic safety precautions should always be

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

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING:

1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.

2. Observe work area conditions. Do not use unit in damp, wet or poorly lit locations. Don’t

expose to rain. Keep work area well lit. Do not use electrically powered air compressors

in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.

3. Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area.

4. Do not use inappropriate attachments in an attempt to exceed the unit capacities.

5. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in moving

parts. Non-skid footwear is recommended. Always wear the hood (included), a dust

mask and heavy-duty canvas gloves.

6. Use eye and ear protection. Always wear ANSI approved chemical splash goggles

when working with chemicals. Wear an ANSI approved dust mask or respirator when

working around metal, wood and chemical dusts and mists.

7. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or

across running machines.

8. Keep machine clean for better and safer performance. Follow the instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect compressors cord periodically and if damaged have it repaired by a qualified technician. Inspect all hoses for leak prior to use. The handle must be kept clean, dry and free from oil and grease at all times. 9. Be sure that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the unit or work surface before using. 10.

ASSEMBLY: NOTE: Use Teflon pipe tape on all threaded joints. Make sure all joints are securely tightened. Legs, Wheels and Handle Bar Assembly (Refer to Fig 1): 1. Attach both the left leg (#7) and the right leg (#17) to the tank (#15) using the four screws & nuts. The bottom section of the two legs must point outward respectively and the holes in the bottom of the legs must be parallel to each other to accommodate the axle (#25). 2.

Sand Metering Valve and Sanding Gun Assembly (Refer to Fig 2): 1. Attach the sand metering valve (#26) to the side hole of the intake manifold (#12). Attach one of the elbow connectors(#13) and one of the hose adaptor (#23) to either remaining hole of the intake manifold (#12) 2. Attach the other side of the sand metering valve (#26) to the bottom of the tank. 3. Slide the hose clamp (#22) over either side of the sand hose (#21). Do not tighten yet. 4.

Air Pressure Adjuster and Safety Valve Assembly (Refer to Fig 3): Use PTFE tape on all air fitting threads. 1. Attach the connector (#8) to one of the side inlets of the air pressure adjuster (#9). Attach the intake manifold (#12) to the other side of the nipple connector (#11). Make sure the pressure gauge on the air pressure adjuster and the front inlet of the intake manifold face the same direction, as in figure 3. 2. Attach the joint pipe (#10) to the front intake of the intake manifold (#12).

OPERATION: WARNING: Always wear your hood, dust mask and heavy-duty canvas gloves when operating. 1. Close the sand metering valve (#26), pour about 25 lbs of abrasive medium into the tank. Then close the tank filler cap (#4) securely, assuring that o-ring (#3) is in place. 2. Turn the air pressure adjuster (#9) counter-clockwise (lowest pressure) fully. With the air compressor off, attach the connector (#8) to an air supply hose coming from the air compressor. Tighten securely with a hose clamp. 3.

MAINTENANCE: 1. Keep your sandblaster clean and protect from damage. 2. Depressurize after using. 3. When initially pressurizing, check for leaks at the tank top and at all hoses and fittings. Leaking joints may be repaired by replacing worn or damaged Teflon tape at joints. 4. Check for worn sand hose and fittings. The sand metering valve, manifold and all parts after the sand is ejected from the tank are subject to rapid wear, due to the flow of abrasive sand.

SAFETY AND HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS Before opening tank be sure that it is not pressurized. Be sure that the gauge reads ”0 PSI”. Depressurize the tank before opening it by exhausting pressure through the sanding gun (#24). Disconnect the air compressor before opening tank. Protect yourself and those around you from “overspray”. Remember that your portable sandblaster is shooting a powerful spray of abrasive material. Do not point it at yourself or anyone around you.
