Product Usage Instructions
Safety Instructions
To ensure safety while using the Mini Sand Blasting Gun, please adhere to
the following instructions:
- Read and understand the operating manual before the initial operation.
- Keep the operation instructions in a safe place for future reference.
- Take basic safety precautions to minimize the risk of injury.
- Avoid pointing the gun at yourself or others.
- Do not use the gun without proper safety equipment, such as goggles and gloves.
- Never aim the gun at any living being.
Product Usage
The Mini Sand Blasting Gun can be used for various purposes, including
dental technology and general applications.
Dental Technology Notes:
The device is essential for the final processing of gold fillings. It
allows for dulling the surfaces of inlays and crowns, making small contacts of
opposing teeth visible without the inconsistencies of interdental materials.
The cast’s dull surface shows accurate imprints of colour or carbon bands. The
process canbe repeated as often as desired until the desired result is
achieved.
General Remarks:
Follow these steps to use the Mini Sand Blasting Gun:
- Connect the gun to a suitable compressor with a minimum air capacity of 20 litres per minute.
- Ensure the working pressure of the compressor is between 2 bars and a maximum of 4.7 bars.
- Fill the paint cup with the desired abrasive material.
- Adjust the distance between the gun tip and the workpiece surface, depending on the desired result.
- Set the adjusting knob to the lowest possible abrasive flow rate to prevent waste.
- If you need to work more quickly, use heavy, strongly cutting material and increase the air pressure.
- Approach the tip further towards the workpiece surface to speed up work, but maintain a certain minimum distance to allow for proper mixing of abrasive and air.

Introduction
Thank you for choosing to purchase this quality product.
To minimise the risk of injury, we ask you to always take some basic safety
precautions when using this product. Please read this operating manual
carefully and make sure that you understand it. Keep these operation
instructions in a safe place.
Safety instructions
CAUTION!
- The device is not intended for use by persons (including children) with impaired or limited physical, sensory, and mental abilities or lack of experience and/or real knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or follow the instructions made by this person on how to correctly use the device.
- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the device.
ATTENTION!
- Perform a visual inspection of the device before every use. Do not use the device if the safety appliances are damaged or worn out. Never override safety regulations.
- Only use the device according to the intended purpose stated in this manual.
- You are responsible for the safety of the working zone.
- Never spray food or chemicals with this gun.
- Never use a wire or another solid object to clean the nozzle or needle; this would damage them.
- Never plunge the entire gun into dissolvents such as thinners; this might damage the air cap, paint nozzle, or needle.
NOTES:
- Choose the right compressor with the appropriate air volume and air pressure to match the actual work requirements.
- Always wear protective goggles. Never point the air-material flow towards yourself, another person, or an animal.
- When beginning work, make sure that all screws are tightened.
Use
The mini sand blasting gun “Air Eraser” is a useful tool to eliminate paint
defects or engrave a surface. It is used for hobby and professional jobs to
clean jewellery and finest parts, to eliminate paint defects, or to engrave
glass with pictures or letters. It can be used for lithographic applications
to produce nuances and to correct defects without damaging or daubing the
surface. It is also quite popular with friends of model railways to give
wagons and accessories a worn or weathered look.
Dental technology notes
The device is indispensable for the final processing of gold fillings. By
dulling the surfaces of inlays and crowns, small contacts of opposing teeth
can be seen without the inconsistencies of interdental materials. The dull
surface of a cast shows the imprints of colour or carbon bands with great
accuracy. After the correction, the surfaces can be dulled again and the
process repeated as often as desired until the desired result.
General remarks
- Use clean, dry compressed air with 2–2.8 bar.
- To achieve a satisfactory performance, water, oil, and other contaminations should be removed from the compressed air by using an appropriate filter.
- After shutting up the abrasive supply, some rest of the abrasive will escape together with the airflow, which is due to the air pressure remaining.
Steps
- Connect the air hose to the filter housing.
- Screw the lid open.
- Fill ¾ of the cup up with abrasive, then re-screw the lid properly.
- Do not allow abrasive to get into the thread of the cup to prevent any leaks from forming.
- Adjust the air pressure to 2 bars for working on paper. For working on metal, gold fillings, plastic, or glass, adjust it to 3.1–4.7 bars.
- Hold the mini sand blasting gun as you would hold a pencil. Move its tip about 3–12 mm above the workpiece surface. Modify the distance depending on the desired result.
- Set the adjusting knob to the lowest possible abrasive flow rate to prevent waste.
- If the work should be done more quickly, use heavy, strongly cutting material and a high air pressure. Approach the tip further towards the workpiece surface to speed up work. Neverthe-less, keep a certain minimum distance to allow the abrasive to mix up with air and the stream to widen.
Compressor
To operate the mini sandblasting gun, we recommend the use of a compressor
with a minimum air capacity of 20 ℓ⁄min and a working pressure comprised
between 2 bars and a maximum of 4.7 bars.
