General Safety Information
California Proposition 65
Warning
This product or its power cord may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
You can create dust when you cut, sand, drill or grind materials such as wood, paint, metal, concrete, cement, or other masonry. This dust often contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Wear protective gear.
Static Electricity
Danger
Fire or Explosion Hazard! Never use a sandblaster around combustible or flammable liquids, gases, dust, oily rags, or other materials that can explode or burn quickly. Some abrasives create sparks when they hit metal. Abrasives similar to aluminum oxide may generate static electric sparks. In an unsafe environment, these sparks will start fires or explosions that will result in death or serious personal injury. For your safety and the safety of people nearby, DO NOT USE this sand blaster where there are combustible or flammable liquids, gases, dust, oily rags, or other materials that can explode or burn quickly.
Caution
Static electric shocks can be painful. Some abrasives similar to aluminum oxide can create static electricity while you are sandblasting. If you are not grounded, the static electricity can build up on your body and cause a shock when you touch a metal object. You can avoid static electricity by wearing leather-soled shoes and standing on the ground. If necessary, a grounded wire attached to the sandblast gun will safely remove the static electricity. Remember, you are not grounded if you are insulated from the ground. Rubber- soled shoes, rubber boots, other rubber or plastic footwear are insulators. Avoid standing on dry wood
REMINDER: Keep your dated proof of purchase for warranty purposes! Attach it to this manual or file it for safekeeping.

- Only persons well acquainted with these rules of safe operation should be allowed to use the unit.
Do not misuse this product. Excessive exposure to vibration, work in awkward positions, and repetitive work motions can cause injury to hands and arms. Stop using any tool if discomfort, numbness, tingling or pain occur, and consult a physician.
- Read this instruction manual before connecting this device to the compressor.
- Safety glasses or face shield, gloves and a NIOSH-approved respirator must be worn during operation. Always work in a well-ventilated area.
- During operation, do not expose the hands or skin directly in the line of the blast nozzle.
- After installation, inspect to make sure all components seal properly.
- Keep children away at all times. All visitors must be kept a safe distance and wear safety glasses, gloves and a respirator.
- Do not exceed the maximum operating pressure of the sandblasting equipment (125 psi)..
Warning
Disconnect the sandblaster from the air supply before changing accessories or attempting to install, service, relocate or perform any maintenance.
Check hoses and air lines for weak or worn condition before each use. Make sure all connections are secure before use.
Warning
Do not point the sandblast gun at anyone or objects other than the intended
work object.
Do not depress the trigger when connecting the air supply hose.
Do not work around oily rags or flammable liquids.Sand striking metal can cause a spark and create a fire or explosion.
Warning
Do not spray acids or caustics.
Assembly
Model AT122601
- Attach material hose to the pick-up tube. Place pick-up tube in bag of medium. (See FIgure 4).
- Attach the air compressor hoseto the air inlet (1/4 inch NPT(F)) at the bottom of the gun handle. An optional quick coupler and connector can be used to attach the hose to the gun.
MODEL AT125102
- Attach the material hose to the hose connector. Attach the opposite end of the material hose to the gun (See Figure 5). Never use hose clamps to secure the hose. NOTE: Do not cover the hole in the hose connector for dry blasting. For spraying liquids, slip the material hose fully onto the hose connector covering the hole.
- Attach the air compressor hose to the air inlet (1/4 inch NPT(F)) at the bottom of the gun handle. An optional quick coupler and connector can be used to attach the hose to the gun.
MODEL AT121002
- Attach the hose connector to the hopper using the supplied conduit nut.
- Attach the material hose to the hose connector. Attach the opposite end of the material hose to the gun (See Figure 6). Never use hose clamps to secure the hose. NOTE: Do not cover the hole in the hose connector for dry blasting. For spraying liquids, slip the material hose fully on to the hose connector covering the hole.
- Attach the air compressor hose to the air inlet (1/4 inch NPT(F)) at the bottom of the gun handle. An optional quick coupler and connector can be used to attach the hose to the gun.
ASSEMBLY FOR MODEL AT121102
-
Slide the wheel onto the axle. (See Figure 7). Lightly hammer on the wheel cap to secure it, making sure the protruding hub on the wheel is facing the hopper. Repeat for the opposite side.
-
Attach the hose connector to the hopper using the supplied conduit nut.
-
Attach the material hose to the hose connector. Attach the opposite end of the material hose to the gun (See Figure 7). Never use hose clamps to secure the hose.
NOTE: Do not cover the hole in the hose connector for dry blasting. For spraying liquids, slip the material hosefully on to the hose connector covering the hole. -
Attach the air compressor hose to the air inlet (1/4 inch NPT(F)) at the bottom of the gun handle. An optional quick coupler and connector can be used to attach thhose to the gun.
Operation
- Locate the compressor as far away as possible from the sandblasting area to minimize the dust in the compressor intake.
- The air supply must be clean and free of moisture and oil.
- Use a compressor that can supply enough air (See Specifications). A compressor too small will cause air pressure to drop and the sandblaster will not operate satisfactorily.
- Always trial-test the sandblaster to make sure the job is done without damage by testing on a hidden surface.
- Always filter (screen) the abrasive material to remove any caked material and debris to prevent clogging.
- Do not try to spray thick liquids or large grain-size abrasives.
- Use the lowest effective pressure on soft surfaces to prevent pitting the surface.
- Liquids, such as soap and water, can be sprayed for cleaning purposes on automobiles, lawn chairs, etc.
- Fill the hopper with abrasive to about 3/4 full.
- With air hose and material hose connected, and wearing proper safety equipment, aim the sandblast gun at the surface and pull the trigger.
- Whenever the nozzle is removed and cleaned or replaced, use a brush to clean the threads and replace the O-ring.

Type of Abrasive
(Sieve/Size) Application
- Sand (20-40):
- General purpose use. Removing light rust and paint from metal, wood, or other surfaces; wood finishing; metal cleaning; glass and stone etching; hole drilling in glass, brick or cement block; light stone cleaning; exterior automotive parts cleaning and water deposit removal
- Sand 50-100): Used for a fine polish finish or antique wood finish, brass and silver polishing, automotive parts cleaning and polishing, sheet metal surface polishing, and fine glass etching
- Aluminum oxide: Heavy rust removal and rough surface paint removal
- Corn cob meal: Wood and glass cleaning (fine)
- Walnut or pecan shells (ground): Wood and glass cleaning (coarse)
- Plastic beads: Removal of flash, burrs, and paint from metal or glass without abrading work
- NOTE: Abrasive media that has not been cleaned and screened could contain material that will clog the gun nozzle and should be avoided.
MOISTURE IN COMPRESSED AIR
Moisture in compressed air will form into droplets as the air comes from the
compressor pump. When humidity is high or when a compressor is in continuous
use for an extended period of time, moisture will collect in the tank. When
using a sandblast gun, this water will be carried from the tank through the
hose and out of the gun as droplets mixed with the material being sprayed.
IMPO RTANT: THIS CONDENSATION WILL CAKE THE SAND AND CLOG THE
SANDBLASTING GUN. A CLOGGED GUN WILL NOT OPERATE.
A compressed air dryer and/or airline filter will help eliminate this
moisture.
