SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCESETUP
Operating Instructions
Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section
at the beginning of this manual including all text under subheadings therein
before set up or use of this product.
Inspect tool before use, looking for damaged, loose, and missing parts.
If any problems are found, do not use tool until repaired.
Workpiece and Work Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Route the air hose along a safe path to reach
the work area without creating a tripping hazard
or exposing the air hose to possible damage.
The air hose must be long enough to reach
the work area with enough extra length to
allow free movement while working.
3. There must not be hazardous objects
(such as utility lines or foreign objects)
nearby that will present a hazard while working.
CAUTION! Prior to sandblasting, protect other people
(and property) in the work area from flying debris by
providing barriers or shields. Wear appropriate clothing
and safety gear when operating the Abrasive Blast Gun.
If possible, place the workpiece inside a sandblast
cabinet (not included). Otherwise, isolate the
workpiece to make sure no damage can occur to
nearby walls, tools, equipment, or other property.
4. Remove the cap from the Hopper (19) and fill the
Hopper with abrasive media. WARNING! TO
PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Do not use sand
(crystalline silica) for blasting.
5. Once filled, replace the cap.
NOTE: To keep the beads from accidentally spilling
out of the Nozzle, do not point the Nozzle downward.
6. Connect the compressor’s air hose to the
pre‑installed quick connector on the Blast Gun.
Turn the compressor’s regulator to 90 PSI.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS
INJURY: Do not exceed 150 PSI.
NOTE: Test the spray pattern and intensity of
the Blast Gun on a piece of scrap material.
7. Turn on the compressor, aim the Nozzle toward
the object that is to be sandblasted. Grip
the Blaster Gun firmly with both hands.
8. Squeeze the Trigger (4) to turn on the Blast
Gun. Turn the Media Flow Control Knob
(15) counterclockwise slowly to increase the
flow until desired media flow is achieved.
9. To refill the Hopper, release pressure on the Trigger.
Turn off the air compressor and squeeze
the Trigger once again to release any
compressed air. Then refill the Hopper.
10. When finished using the Blast Gun, turn the
media flow off before release pressure on the
Trigger. Turn off the air compressor. Squeeze
the Trigger once to release any compressed air.
Disconnect the Blaster Gun from its air supply.
11. Dispose of used abrasive media only
according to local solid waste guidelines.
12. Clean, then store the tool indoors
out of children’s reach.
Media Flow Control Knob
1. Turn the Media Flow Control Knob counterclockwise
to increase media flow and clockwise to decrease.
2. Begin blasting with Media Flow Control Knob
in the off position. Slowly increase the flow
until desired media flow is achieved.
3. To stop all media flow turn the Media Flow
Control Knob clockwise until it stops.
4. When finished blasting, turn the media flow off
before releasing the pressure on the trigger.
5. Steps 3 & 4 will help prevent the
nozzle from clogging.
