OPERATION OPERATION
When completed, release the trigger then turn off the air supply. As a
precautionary measure, ALWAYS pull the trigger before opening the lid.
There are no hard or fast rules governing nozzle sizes and air pressures
used with different abrasives. With experience and experimentation you
will quickly learn the best combinations for the required result.
On more delicate parts, start with minimal air pressure to avoid
unnecessary peaning or excessive abrasion, and work up to a setting to
produce the desired finish.
Should any abrasive be spilled, ensure it is cleaned up immediately, as its
slippery properties can be hazardous.
OPERATION
Plug the transformer into the power supply and switch the power ON.
Switch the lamp ON by pushing the rocker switch on the switch box ‘I’.
Switch OFF by pushing ‘O’.
Ensure all air connections are secure, and the pick up is correctly located
beneath the grid, before filling the cabinet with abrasive media. Do not fill
higher than the level of the grid.
NOTE: PTFE tape is provided which may be used on the threads of the
various connectors to ensure an airtight connection. Select the ceramic
abrasive nozzle to produce the jet required for the abrasive media being
used, and assemble according to the instructions given below.
Place the object to be cleaned in the cabinet, and close the lid, securing
with the two swivel clips.
Set the pressure to the required value, but not higher than 100lbf/in2, and
check to ensure there are no air leaks. Should there be any, turn off the air
supply and repair where necessary, before turning the supply back on. Pull
the trigger on the gun and proceed to blast the object to be cleaned.
Keep the jet facing the object and away from the clear plastic lid. Do not
allow the jet to train on the rubber gloves, the air hose within the cabinet
or the fluorescent lamp.
