OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERA
To begin using the tool:
1. As a standard practice, drain water from the
air compressor tank and air lines prior to use
each day (reference your compressor
operators manual for detailed instructions).
IMPORTANT: Installation of appropriate
water/oil removal equipment is
recommended. Failure to do so will cake
the abrasive material and clog the
sandblasting gun, causing the gun to not
operate (follow the recommended
installation for the sandblaster in
Figure 1).
2. Install a 1/4" NPT male connector (not
included) into the air inlet port on the tool
(see Figure 2). Note: Use Teflon® Tape on
all threaded connections.
3. Turn on the air compressor and allow it to
build up pressure.
4. Adjust the air compressor's regulator or the
supply line regulator to 90 PSI.
Assembly:
1. Place one of the hose clamps onto the siphon hose and push the end of the siphon hose onto the connector
on the bottom of the hopper. Tighten the hose clamp. (see Figure 2). NOTE: Always make sure that the air
vent hole (M) remains open at all times and is facing straight up. Abrasives must flow freely from the
hopper to the level part of hose below the hopper.
2. Place the other hose clamp on the other end of the siphon hose and push the end onto the vacuum tube (D).
Tighten the hose clamp. (See Figure 2).
3. Fill the hopper with an abrasive material. Silica (playground sand) or hard sand, ground nut shells, glass
beads, metal shot, silicon carbide, ground corn cobs are all abrasive materials that can be used. NOTE:
Make sure that the abrasive material is dry.
4. Connect the tool to the air hose quick coupler. NOTE: It is recommended that a whip hose with a swivel
(P012-0079SP - not included) be used to prevent twisting, kinking and excessive wear to the air hose
(ref. item "F" in figure 1 for recommended connections).
Always disconnect the sandblaster from the air supply before changing accessories,
relocating or performing any maintenance.
5. To start sandblasting, gently pull back on the trigger using smooth and even strokes accross the blasting
surface. NOTE: The nozzle should be positioned at an angle to the surface being sandblasted rather
than perpendicular, to reduce work surface material from rebounding back at you.
Risk of Injection. The high pressure and abrasive materials that are used during
sandblasting can penetrate skin and cuase serioius injury. Wear ANSI A87.1
approved safety glasses or face shield, gloves and a MSHA/NIOSH approved
resiprator during operation. Always direct spray away from self and others or
serious injury could occur.
6. To stop sandblasting, release the trigger.
