Safety Information
- Before operating the sandblasting gun, ensure that all operating instructions have been read and understood.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment at all times, including but not limited to dust masks, goggles, and work gloves.
- Ensure the work area is well-ventilated.
- Do not test the gun pressure on human skin. Avoid pointing the sand blaster at people at all times.
Product Overview
The pressure sandblasting gun is a tool that uses compressed air to blast abrasive material, suitable for cleaning, grinding, and etching surfaces.
Operating Instructions
- Connect to compressed air source: Ensure all connections are secure and there is no air leakage.
- Fill with abrasive: Add the appropriate abrasive according to the instructions.
- Adjust the nozzle: Adjust the spray pressure and nozzle angle as needed.
- Start sandblasting: Aim at the target surface and move the sandblasting gun steadily.
- Cleaning : After completing the sandblasting operation, thoroughly clean the sandblasting gun and the work area.
Choosing the right abrasive
- Silica Sand: Traditionally used as the primary abrasive in sandblasting, silica sand is affordable and effective. However, due to health concerns related to inhaling silica dust, it is now less commonly used.
- Aluminum Oxide: Known for its hardness and durability, aluminum oxide is a popular abrasive for sandblasting. It’s suitable for a wide range of applications, including metal surface preparation, deburring, and rust removal.
- Glass Beads: Made from recycled glass, glass beads are gentle abrasives that provide a smooth finish. They are often used for cleaning delicate surfaces, such as aluminum or fiberglass, without causing damage.
- Garnet : Garnet is a natural abrasive with moderate hardness. It’s effective for removing rust, scale, and coatings from metal surfaces. Garnet abrasives are also commonly used in waterjet cutting.
- Steel Grit and Steel Shot: Made from hardened steel, steel grit, and steel shot are aggressive abrasives suitable for removing tough coatings, rust, and scale from metal surfaces. They are commonly used in industrial applications.
- Walnut Shell: Walnut shell abrasives are biodegradable and non-toxic. They are gentle abrasives suitable for cleaning softer surfaces, such as wood, plastic, or fiberglass, without causing damage.
- Plastic Media: Plastic media abrasives, such as acrylic, polyester, or urea, are soft abrasives that provide a gentle cleaning action. They are commonly used for stripping paint, coatings, and contaminants from sensitive surfaces.
- Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda): Baking soda is a mild abrasive that is non-toxic and environmentally friendly. It’s often used for cleaning delicate surfaces, such as brick, stone, or glass, without causing damage or leaving residue.
- Coal Slag: Coal slag abrasives are made from recycled coal combustion products. They are aggressive abrasives suitable for heavy-duty applications, such as removing thick coatings, rust, or scale from metal surfaces.
- Copper Slag : Copper slag abrasives are abrasive by-products of copper production. They are commonly used for abrasive blasting applications, including surface preparation, cleaning, and rust removal.
Maintenance
- Regularly check all seals and connectors for wear.
- Clean the nozzle to ensure no abrasive residue remains.
- When storing, place the sandblasting gun in a dry and clean environment.
Troubleshooting
- If the sandblasting gun does not operate, check the connection between the compressed air source and the gun.
- If the blast is weak, check for abrasive blockages or air leaks.
- If the sandblasting gun makes unusual noises, stop using it immediately and check for internal damage or wear.
