• ALWAYS wear adequate personal protective equipment, including eye and
hearing protection, suitable gloves, long sleeves and protective clothing
when operating a sandblaster
• If large amounts of dust are created, helmets or hoods with air supply
may be necessary
• Work gloves must protect the full forearm; protective clothing must
provide suitable protection from rebounding abrasives
• Sandblasting operations are noisy. ALWAYS wear adequate hearing
protection where sound levels exceed 85dB(A)
• Sandblasting equipment is likely to develop an electrostatic charge
during operation. If an electrostatically conductive blast hose is not
available the blast nozzle must be grounded
• NEVER direct the outlet nozzle towards people or animals
• DO NOT use other fluids than clean, dry, unoiled compressed air to power
sandblasting equipment
• Wet, oily or otherwise contaminated compressed air will cause the
abrasive to cake, and clog the sandblasting equipment
• NEVER use sandblasting equipment to spray solvents, acids or
caustic agents
• DO NOT work near flammable items. Abrasive striking metal can cause
sparks which may ignite flammable materials.
• Carefully cover areas of the workpiece that must not be sandblasted
(e.g. insides of engine blocks, cylinder bores, and other
functional surfaces)
• Refer to the abrasive manufacturer's instructions with regards
to additional safety warnings, usage recommendations and
disposal procedures
• ALWAYS disconnect the sandblasting equipment from the air supply
when relocating or refilling the abrasive container

Before Use

Fitting the quick connector
Note: This tool is supplied with two different male airline quick connectors:
EQ-4 – commonly used in Europe
EN-6 – mainly used in the UK
EQ-4
Europe
• Please choose the connector that is compatible with the airline system
you are using, and install as outlined below:
1. Apply PTFE tape (not included) to the screw threads of the Quick
Connector (5). This will help to maintain an airtight seal
Note: Apply PTFE tape tightly and in a clockwise direction, so it does not
come off when the thread is screwed into the tool.
2. Remove the protective plug from the air inlet
3. Using a spanner (not included) screw the quick connector into the air
inlet located at the base of the handle
4. Connect to airline, pressurise carefully and carry out a leak check
(e.g. by spraying small amounts of soapy water on to the outside of
the connectors)
• Air lines fitted with matching female quick connectors will now be a push
fit to the tool

This tool should be connected to a clean, dry air supply with water
separator and filter
WARNING: Under no circumstances can the spray gun be used in a
compressed air system with integrated oiler.
• Do not allow supply pressure to exceed the maximum stated
(see 'Specifications')
• Ensure that water is drained from air system daily
• Ensure that all parts of the system (hoses, couplers, etc.) are correctly
rated for the air pressure to be used
• Do not use non-conductive tubing to help prevent build-up of
electrostatic charge
Setting tool power
• The tool power can be adjusted by reducing/increasing the air supply
pressure within the range specified in 'Specification'
Setting up the sandblasting gun assembly
1. Ensure the sandblasting gun has been correctly assembled, and the
Nozzle Locking Ring (2) has been securely tightened
2. Connect one end of the Rubber Hose (6) to the Suction Nozzle (7) and
the other end of the hose to the Material Hose Connector (3)
