TO STOP BLASTING
1.
While continuing to press and hold the Safety Trigger, turn the Abrasive Control Valve to the closed position (this is to prevent
any clogging.)
2.
When you notice only air (no abrasive) is coming out of the Safety Trigger Nozzle, you can stop the air flow by releasing the Trigger.
This ensures a clean and clog-free Abrasive Manifold, Hose, and Nozzle.
RELEASING PRESSURE FROM THE TANK
1.
When you are finished blasting, point the Safety Trigger Nozzle in a safe direction away from people, pets or anything around you
that may be harmed by direct or indirect high-pressure abrasive stream.
2.
Press and hold the Safety Trigger to expel any remaining abrasive material from the Abrasive Hose.
3.
Close the Abrasive Flow Valve.
4.
Release pressure on the Safety Trigger.
5.
Close the Throttling Valve and the Air Supply Valve.
6.
Disconnect air supply hose from abrasive blaster.
7.
Press the Safety Trigger until air stops flowing and Pressure Gauge reads “0".
CAUTION: Pay particular attention to the Abrasive Hose, the Abrasive Control Valve, and the Nozzles as they will wear out
much more quickly than the other pieces.
The Abrasive Hose needs to be replaced immediately if its side walls develop leaks or show blisters in the surface. Do not use
if any of these problems are present.
