Do NOT put sand in the sandblaster! ONLY use a real blasting media with a known grit size.
Quick Start Guide
- Completely wash and dry your workpiece before locking it in the cabinet. Use both latches.
- Why? Water and oils make the blasting media clog up, which then has to be replaced.
- Set the air compressor to under 90 psi, and connect to the blue gun hose.
- Check there is enough blasting media in the bottom of the cabinet. About halfway up the sloped bottom is a good minimum.
- Remove port covers from the left and back side of the cabinet, keep them in the drawer.
- Connect a shop vac to the left side exhaust port
- This keeps dust down, otherwise it's hard to see!
- Turn on shop vac and plug in overhead light
- Use gloves to manipulate workpiece and pull the trigger to spray media in smooth strokes
- Please avoid
- Spraying the rubber gloves
- Spraying the clear film on the inside of the window
- Smacking the tip of the blasting gun against things: it is ceramic and somewhat fragile
- When done sandblasting:
- Remove workpiece and double latch cabinet door
- Unplug light, return shop vac
- Replace the left and backside port covers
- Keeping the cabinet sealed keeps it dry, prolonging blasting media life
- Return air compressor to original pressure
