USER MANUAL 150144 Westfalia

Please note the included General Safety Notes and the following safety notes to avoid malfunctions, damage or physical injury:8 Safety Notes Check if all connections and hoses are mechanically secured and if they are functioning properly. Loose hoses may cause severe injuries. Disconnect the air sand blaster from the compressed air source before doing any maintenance work or when not in use. Do not modify the air sand blaster in any way and do not use it for any unintended use. Only use original accessory. Not recommended accessory can bear a risk of danger. Never carry the unit with the hose. Carry it with the housing. Keep the handle dry and free from oil or grease. Do not use the air sand blaster near flammable liquids, gases or dust. Sparks may ignite the dust or fumes. Stay alert! Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not use the air sand blaster any further in case of damage. Do not open the unit and do not try to repair them yourself. In case of questions or problems contact a professional or our customer service.9 Operation Intended Use The air sand blaster is a tool driven by compressed air. It is designed for versatile use. The air sand blaster is suitable for sand-blasting of iron, sheet metal, metal objects, etc. The intended use also includes an operation following the operating instructions. Any use beyond these parameters (different media, applying force) or any changes (reconstruction, no original accessory) can lead to serious risks and is regarded as use that is contrary to the intended purpose. Before first Use Unpack the air sand blaster and the required accessory and check all parts for any damage in transit. Dispose of packaging materials or store them out of reach of children. Plastic bags etc. may become a deadly toy for children. Start-up

1. Turn the regulator (5) clockwise to close it.

2. Screw the air quick coupling adaptor (9) on the compressed air

connection (7) of the sand blaster.

3. Turn the lid (1) counter clockwise and remove it.

4. Fill the grinding material container (2) with appropriate grinding

5. Close the grinding material container with the lid.

6. Connect the air hose to the compressed air generator and to the

quick coupling adaptor of the air sand blaster. Power up the generator.

7. Turn the regulator counter clockwise to open it.10

8. Lead the air sand blaster to the workpiece and press the

trigger (6) to start the delivery of air and to start-up the sand blaster. The more you press the trigger, the stronger the sand blast will be. If necessary, perform some test runs on an unused workpiece before work.

9. Release the trigger to stop the delivery of air and to stop sand

10. Turn the regulator clockwise to close it.

11. After use, disconnect the tool from the compressed air

12. Then clean the air sand blaster with a moist cloth.

Air Pressure and Air Volume Operate the air sand blaster with a pressure of 6 bar using a compressor with an air suction capacity of at least 200 l/min. When using higher pressure for operating the air tool than the max. permitted pressure of 8 bar, its self life will be reduced drastically. The ideal capacity is provided by compressors with a suction capacity of 300 – 400 l/min. Only use air hoses with an inner diameter of at least 9 mm. When setting up the air pressure, always keep in mind that the pressure will decrease by approx. 0.6 bar when using a 10 m long hose with an inner diameter of 9 mm.11 Operation Maintenance, Lubrication and Care To ensure proper functionality and a long lifetime, diligent maintenance is essential. For operating pneumatic tools, clean air is required. Corrosion residues, dust and dirt from the pneumatic pipes reduce the efficiency of the tool and will cause technical problems. An upstream maintenance unit consisting of filter and pressure regulator valve removes moisture and dirt from the air and controls the working pressure. After use, clean the air sand blaster with a moist cloth. Do not use abrasive or aggressive chemicals as benzene or thinner, which may dissolve plastic parts. Do not allow liquids to enter the unit and never immerse it into liquids. Water in the compressed air inlet can damage the machine. Therefore it is recommended to drain the air lines and the compressor in regular intervals! Also clean the air filters in regular intervals. The air sand blaster requires clean and oil-free air. So do not use an oil-fog lubricator within the air supply system. If possible, only use compressed air hoses for the air supply that previously have not been used with other air tools which required an oil-fog lubrication system. Lubricate the moving parts of the trigger mechanism and the regulator from time to time. Clean the nozzle (3) in regular intervals. To do so, turn the ring nut (4) counter clockwise and pull out the nozzle. Storing Store the air sand blaster in a dry location that is protected from dust and dirt.12 Technische Daten | Technical Data
