Additional Safety Instructions for Pneumatic Power Tools

Air under pressure can cause severe injury:

• Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and disconnect tool from air supply when not in use, before changing accessories or when making repairs
• Never direct air at yourself or anyone else
• Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always check for damaged or loose hoses and fittings
• Whenever universal twist couplings (claw couplings) are used, lock pins should be installed and whipcheck safety cables should be used to safeguard against possible hose-to-tool or hose-to-hose connection failure
• Do not exceed the maximum air pressure stated on the tool
• Never carry an air tool by the hose

Sand Blasting Equipment Safety

WARNING: Abrasive blasting with sands containing crystalline silica can cause silicosis, a serious respiratory disease that can be fatal.
WARNING: Never blast abrasive material towards a source of heat or ignition, as this may cause a fire or an explosion.
WARNING: Dust emissions from sandblasting may contribute to the formation of explosive atmospheres. Ensure proper ventilation and take precautions to prevent dust explosions.
- 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

Note: This tool is supplied with two different male air line quick connectors:

EQ-4
commonly used in Europe

mainly used in the UK

• Please choose the connector that is compatible with the air line system you are using, and install as outlined below:
• Apply some PTFE tape (not included) to the screw threads of the Quick Connector (9). This will help to maintain an air-tight 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.
• Remove the protective plug from the Air Inlet (8)
• Using a spanner (not included) screw the Quick Connector into the Air Inlet located at the base of the handle
• Connect to air line, 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

Air supply connection

• This tool should be connected to a clean, dry air supply with inline oiler and water separator
• 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

Grit selection

Note: This sandblaster is supplied with 0.8mm aluminium oxide grit. Always use good quality abrasive grit to maximise the quality of the finished task. Always test the sandblaster on a scrap piece of material to determine whether the grit grade is suitable for the intended task:

• Coarse (20 - 30 Mesh: 0.8mm, Aluminium oxide) for use on rough material
  Medium (40 - 50 Mesh: 0.4mm Aluminium oxide) for smoothing off
  Fine (80 - 120 Mesh: 0.08mm Aluminium oxide) for finishing

Filling the canister

1. To remove the Sand Canister (11), twist anti-clockwise until it is removed from the Canister Connector (10)
2. Fill the Sand Canister with a suitable abrasive material, being careful not to over-fill
3. Re-attach the Sand Canister to the Canister Connector by locating the pins in the groove and turning the canister clockwise

Fitting a nozzle adaptor

• The sandblaster comes with four Nozzle Adaptors, the adaptors dictate the type of spray output from the Barrel (5)
• Slide the Nozzle Adaptor over the Barrel (5) to fix the nozzle in place
• The Nozzle Adaptors are made from a soft rubber compound to prevent damage to surfaces when working in close proximity areas

Using the sand collection bag

• To fit the Collection Bag (1), pull the opening over the Collection Bag Port on the Barrel and fasten the Hook & Loop Strap (2)
• The Collection Bag (1) catches excess abrasive material that builds up within the Barrel (5) during operation
• Abrasive material caught in the bag is fit for re-use. Remove the Collection Bag and pour the contents into the Sand Canister when full

Operation

WARNING: ALWAYS wear eye protection, adequate respiratory and hearing protection, as well as suitable gloves, when working with this tool.

1. 1Connect the sandblaster to the air supply
2. Adjust the air supply pressure according to the workpiece and abrasive used

WARNING: Ensure the air supply pressure does not exceed the maximum operating pressure stated in 'Specification'

WARNING: Ensure the pressure is suitable for the workpiece and does not damage the surface. ALWAYS test the effect of the abrasive on a scrap piece of material, or begin sandblasting at an inconspicuous place on the workpiece before starting the main job.

1. Direct the Nozzle Adaptor towards the workpiece, and press the Trigger (6) to start the flow of abrasive

Note: When the Sand Canister (11) is empty, it may take a few seconds for the abrasive to start flowing into the sandblaster. Keep the Trigger depressed until the abrasive exits the Outlet Nozzle.
