INTRODUCTION

Suitable for use in the bodyshop. The feathering action makes this blaster ideal for treating stone chips. Supplied with a set of four rubber nozzles for sealing the gun head to the panel and a 700g bottle of blasting grit. Replacement nozzles are available.

SPECIFICATION

• Model No: ……………………………………………………SG10E
• Air Consumption: ……………………………………….. 5-10cfm
• Operating Pressure: …………………………………. 60-120psi

AIR SUPPLY

WARNING! Ensure the air supply does not exceed 120psi while operating the unit. Too high an air pressure will shorten the life of the unit due to excessive wear and may cause damage and/or personal injury.

1. Ensure the gun trigger is in the ‘Off’ position before connecting to the air supply.
2. Where possible the compressor should be sited in a separate room with the connecting airline kept as short as possible.
3. The compressor should have an air filter and water separator (fig.1).
4. Drain the compressor air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the unit.
5. The recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig.1.
6. The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4” I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
7. Keep hoses away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear and ensure that all connections are secure.

OPERATION

• WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and apply the safety instructions in Section 1 before use.
• WARNING! Wear approved ear, eye, hand and respiratory protection when operating the blaster.

1. Attach an airline to the gun which has a 1/4” BSP fitting.
2. Remove the grit container from the gun by twisting it anticlockwise until it stops, then pull it off the head. Fill the container with the grit supplied. Align the three pins in the neck of the container with the corresponding gaps in the head flange and push the container onto the head. Twist the container clockwise to seal it to the head.
3. Ensure that the recycling bag is empty and that it is retained in place properly.
4. Fit the nozzle most suited to the job to be undertaken and push it fully on to the mouth of the gun. The round nozzle is for blasting general bodywork stone chip damage. The slotted nozzles are for blasting damage to either an external edge or internal fold.
5. It is strongly advised that the action of the gun is tested first on some scrap material before proceeding to the actual workpiece.
6. Place the nozzle over the damaged area and apply medium pressure in order to seal the nozzle against the bodywork. (The recycling action will not work efficiently if the nozzle is not sealed to the body). Do not apply excessive pressure as this may cause the rubber nozzle to distort.  

Partially depress the trigger to get a light feathering action on the damage. Remove the nozzle and inspect the area. Proceed as required.
Fully depressing the trigger will give the strongest blasting action.

7. When work is complete, disconnect the gun from the air supply. Remove the main grit container and empty any unused grit back into a suitable container. Loosen the neck of the recirculation bag and remove it. The recirculated grit should be finely sieved to remove any other particles before returning it to a grit container.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Disconnect from the air supply before performing any maintenance.
WARNING! Wear ear, eye, hand and respiratory protection when undertaking any maintenance.

1. Keep all parts of the gun clean for best performance.
   • DO NOT leave recirculated grit in the bag. Always completely empty bag after each use.
2. Lubricate the plunger, between the trigger and the gun handle with a light grease.
