Using the device and the essential
requirements
Keep in mind the personal protection meas-
ures that are required when working with the NB
Home Soda Blasting Gun. NB CleanBlast soda
can be harmful if inhaled as dust. That is why it
is recommended that respiratory protection (P2),
eye protection, ear protection and gloves always
be worn during blasting, Never blast towards
people or animals!
Like many other blasting methods, sodablasting
generates dust. So, consider where you should
blast carefully and, if necessary, protect the
surroundings from spreading dust. For example,
when blasting indoors prevent the dust from
spreading into neighbouring rooms. Always wear
respiratory protective equipment.
Minimum requirements for operation of the
device: You will need an air compressor with a
capacity of at least 180 l.p.m., the NB Home So-
dablasting Gun, and dry NB CleanBlast cleaning
and blasting soda.
Note! Wet or moist soda can clog the device
and cause a malfunction. Always store the
soda in a dry place. If the soda has absorbed
moisture and lumped, you can still use it for
blasting or cleaning, provided that you crush
the lumps and screen the soda carefully.
Using the device:
1. Remove the NB Home Sodablasting Gun from
its packing and detach the soda container by
twisting it counter-clockwise. Fill the container
with dry NB CleanBlast cleaning and blasting
soda and attach the container to the body of the
gun by twisting it clockwise.
2. Connect the air hose from the compressor to
the NB Home Sodablasting Gun. Take care of
that air is dry. Use water separator if necessary.
Let condensation water out from the tank of the
compressor.
3. Start the compressor and adjust the pressure
to the required value. Start at a low pressure and

increase the pressure as required by the job in
hand.
4. Start by shutting the nozzle and press the
grip of the gun all the way down. Then open the
nozzle carefully and keep pressing the grip of
the gun all the way down to have right flow of
soda. Remember that too high amount of soda
doesn`t give better blasting result. Test it always
by directing the blast first onto some less visible
part of the work piece. Once you have got the
right flow of soda, lock further adjustment of the
nozzle by turning the locking ring.
5. When blasting your work piece, you can
improve overall performance of the work and the
result by adjusting the pressure, the distance
and the amount of soda.
6. Upon completion of the blasting, you can
clean soda dust off the work piece with a jet
of compressed air or by vacuuming. After that,
you can also rinse it with water, because soda is
water soluble. If your work piece is to be painted
after the blasting, it is a good idea to clean it
thoroughly before painting.
