OPPERATION
OPERATION
1.
Situate the compressor as far away as possible from sandblasting area to minimize dust intake.
2. The air supply must be clean and free of moisture and oil.
3. Use a compressor that can supply enough air per specifications. Insufficient air pressure will
prevent the tool from operating correctly.
4. Always test the sandblaster on a hidden surface to make sure damage will not occur.
5. Always filter the abrasive material to remove any clumping or debris and prevent clogging.
6. Do not try to spray thick liquids or large grain sized abrasives.
7. Use the lowest effective pressure on soft surfaces to prevent pitting.
8. With the air hose and rubber hose connected, and wearing proper safety equipment, aim
sandblaster gun at surface and pull trigger.
9. Whenever the nozzle is removed, cleaned, or replaced use a brush to clean the threads and
replace the o-ring.
