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

• Keep your working area clean and well illuminated. Cluttered or dark work areas can lead to accidents or injuries.
• Do not use the device in explosive zones, e.g., near flammable liquids, gases, or dusts. Tools generate sparks that could ignite dusts or vapours.
• Keep children and bystanders away from the work area while you are operating the sandblaster. Distractions can lead to loss of control of the device.
• Do not apply force to a tool. Only use the right tool for the work to do. The right tool will work better and more safely if used at the speed for that it has been designed.
• Store tools that are not used out of children’s or other untrained persons’ reach. Tools are dangerous if they are used by an untrained person.
• Always make sure that the device is switched off before connecting the sandblaster to the air source. The tool can cause damages or injuries if connected when switched on.
• Keep the air hose in a good condition and immediately replace it if it is damaged. Keep the air hose away from material and surfaces that could damage it.
• Always wear appropriate protective equipment (protective glasses, respiratory protection, etc.).
• Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure that the device is switched off.
• Fully concentrate on what you are doing and always work with foresight and circumspection.

Assembly

Step 1 – assembly of inlet elbow

1. First, fix the gauge (15) to the upper inlet elbow by turning it so that it can be seen emerging above the surface of the tank.
2. Then fix the butterfly valve (18A) to the floor of the elbow.
3. Fix the fitting connection (20) to the butterfly valve.
4. Fix the connection tube (13) to the elbow.

Step 2 – assembly of water separator filter

1. On either side of the filter, two fitting connections (16) are screwed in. Fix the air valve (18) to the fitting connection (16) on one side.
2. Then fix the connector (19) on the other side of the air valve.
3. If you are ready to put the sandblaster into operation, the air hose of your compressor is fixed to the connector (19).

Step 3

1. Place the tank (1) on a table with the mounting bracket facing upwards.
2. Screw the water separator filter (17) and its components into the hole on the side of the intake socket (14).
3. Screw the open end of the connection tube (13) with the intake socket (14) and gauge (15) into the threaded hole on the side of the filling socket above the tank.
4. Make sure that the socket and gauge are upright.

Step 4 – assembly of the sand outlet valve to the tank floor

Mount the following components in the given order:

1.  Fitting connection (16)
2. Sand dosing valve (18B)
3. Fitting connection (16)
4. Sand outlet tube (22)

Step 5 – assembly of the nozzle shut-off valve (18C)

To perform this step, choose one of the four nozzles (27). This choice is not definite, you will be able to replace the nozzle depending on the work to be done.

1. Screw the adaptor (25) into the shut-off valve (18C).
2. Screw the last fitting connection (16) on the other side of the valve.
3. Screw the gasket (26) into the fitting connection (16), then add a nozzle (27) and union nut (28).

Step 6 – connecting the sand outlet unit (step 4) and shut-off valve unit (step 5)

1. Slide a hose clamp (23) on either end of the sand hose (24).
2. Press one end of the hose on the sand outlet tube connection (22) and the other end on the adaptor (25). Both ends of the tube must be seated firmly onto the connections.
3. Slide the hose clamps (23) along the hose up to each of the connection.
4. Tighten the clamps very well.

Step 7

1. Fix the both handlebars (6) to the tank with the help of four flat headed screws (8) and four hexagon bolts (9). Make sure that the ends of the handlebars are bent upwards.

Step 8

1. The axle (5) is pushed through the holes on the side of the handlebars (6).
2. Place one wheel (2) on either end of the axle (5), then fix both wheels with the help of the splints (3).

Step 9

1. Put the fixed foot (4) into the connections of the tank bottom near the border.
2. Use the last splint (3) to fix the foot to the tank.

Step 10
Before beginning any word, re-check all connections to make sure that they are tight and correctly made.

Other instructions
Before opening the tank, release the pressure. Shut the air valve (18), open the shut-off valve (18C), and release the pressure inside the line. Make sure that the gauge (15) shows zero pressure, then open the tank. Maintain the correct air pressure. The pressure should not exceed 8.6 bar (125 psi). If it does, the safety valve (10) should release the over-pressure. If the safety pressure is not capable to do so, immediately interrupt your work and, with the use of your air compressor, relieve the pressure. Only search for the pressure problem of the sandblaster after the gauge (15) shows zero pressure.

Choice of abrasive
The abrasive chosen influences a lot the time needed for cleaning a surface. The abrasives comprise
e.g., silicon, aluminium oxide, shore sand, and beach sand. However, shore and beach sand contain residues of shells, corals, and other organic material, even after washing, that absorb humidity easier than do the other materials. For this reason, the humidity inside shore and beach sands more often provokes obstructions of the sandblaster.

Filling the tank with abrasive

1. Check the abrasive to know if it is dry and cannot obstruct the sand dosing valve (18B), sand outlet tube (2), hose (24), and other components.

2. Put on protective clothes and protective equipment.

3. Turn the air valve (18) to the shut-off (horizontal) position.

4. Open the shut-off valve (18C) (vertical position).

5. Make sure that the gauge (15) does not show any pressure.

6. Remove the filler cap (12) on the upper side of the tank.

7. Set in the hopper (29) and fill in the abrasive. Make sure that there is enough material for the work to be done. Yet, if there is a lot to be done, only fill ¾ the tank and re-fill if necessary.
   Note! If the abrasive contains 90–100 % of water, the water separator cannot absorb the entire humidity from a ¾ full tank. It is preferable to reduce the quantity of abrasive and to re-fill it more often and to empty the water separator more often. Thus, the tank bottom or line will be less susceptible for being obstructed.

8. Close the filler cap (12) when the good quantity of abrasive is inside the tank.

9. Close the shut-off valve (18C), then open the air valve (18).

10. Check if there is a leakage on the cap when you begin to pressurise the tank with the help of the compressor.

Maintenance

1. Protect your air compressor against damages that could be provoked by the sand blasting. It is best to place the compressor in another room and to use a long hose to generate the pressure needed for your work. You can also place the  compressor downwind of your sandblaster. The greater the distance between the compressor and sandblaster, the better. Apart from that, youshould respect the normal maintenance steps of your compressor.
2. Several parts of the sandblaster wear out more quickly than others. The components that need special attention are those that guide the air-abrasive mixture, e.g., the sand hose (24), fittings, shut-off valve (18C), and nozzles (27).
3. If air is leaking from one of these components, immediately interrupt your work and find the component to be repaired or replaced. A new sand hose (24) has 2 layers inside, and its walls are ¼″ thick. When sand is guided through the hose, the walls of that will become thinner. You may check the hose and other components exposed to the abrasive by pressurising the system and by closing the shut-off valve (18C). Put your hand loosely onto the hose and pass it slowly on the hose,  fittings, and nozzles. Thus, you will be able to detect leaking spots. You can also find the spots of the hose where its wall has become very thin. They can be found because of the bubbles formed inside the hose. If you detect such a bubble, immediately buy a new hose.In case one of these bubbles tears, the abrasive gets out on the side of the hose under a 4.5 bar(65 psi) pressure or higher.

Prerequisites to the air supply
When sandblasting, a larger amount of air under a larger pressure is needed. The efficiency of your sandblaster can be impaired by the use of too small an air hose, by the use of too little an air pressure, or by the use of too large a nozzle.
