Safety Guidelines
This manual contains information
that is very important to know and
understand. This information is
provided for SAFETY and to PREVENT
EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To help
recognize this information, observe the
following symbols.
Danger
indicates
an imminently hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, WILL result in
death or serious injury.
Warning
indicates
a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, COULD result in death or
serious injury.
Caution
indicates
a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, MAY result in minor or
moderate injury.
Notice

General Safety Information
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
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
Fire or Explosion Hazard!
Never use a sand blaster
around combustible or
flammable liquids, gases,
dusts, 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, dusts,
oily rags, or other materials that can
explode or burn quickly.
Static electric shocks can
be painful. Some abrasives
similar to aluminum oxide can
create static electricity while you are
sand blasting. 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 sand blast gun
will safely remove the static electricity.
Remember, you are not grounded if
you are insulated from the ground.
Rubber soled shoes, rubber boots, or
other rubber or plastic footwear are
insulators. Avoid standing on dry wood
REMINDER: Keep your dated proof of purchase for warranty purposes!

GENERAL SAFETY
• Read all manuals included
with this product carefully.
Be thoroughly familiar
with the controls and the
proper use of the equipment. Follow
all instructions.
• 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.
1. Read this instruction manual before
connecting this device to the
compressor.
2. Safety glasses or face shield, gloves

must be worn during operation.
Always work in a well ventilated
area.
Disconnect the sandblaster from the air
supply before changing accessories or
attempting to install, service, relocate
or perform any maintenance.
7. Check hoses and air lines for weak
or worn condition before each use.
Make sure all connections are secure
before use.
Do not
point
the sandblast gun at anyone or objects
other than the intended work object.
8. 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.

4. After installation, inspect to make
sure all components seal properly.
5. Keep children away at all times. All
visitors must be kept a safe distance
and wear safety glasses, gloves and a
respirator.
6. Do not exceed the maximum
operating pressure of the
sandblasting equipment (125 psi).

An optional quick coupler and
connector can be used to attach the
hose to the gun.
Operation
1. Locate the compressor as far away
as possible from the sandblasting
area to minimize the dust in the
compressor intake.
2. The air supply must be clean and
free of moisture and oil.
3. 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.
4. Always trial test the sandblaster to
make sure the job is done without
damage by testing on a hidden
surface.
5. Always filter (screen) the abrasive
material to remove any caked
material and debris to prevent
clogging.
6. Do not try to spray thick liquids or
large grain size abrasives.
7. Use the lowest effective pressure on
soft surfaces to prevent pitting the
surface.
8. Liquids, such as soap and water, can
be sprayed for cleaning purposes on
automobiles, lawn chairs, etc.
9. Fill the hopper with abrasive to
about 3/4 full.
10. With air hose and material hose
connected, and wearing proper
safety equipment, aim sandblast gun
at surface and pull trigger.
11. Whenever the nozzle is removed
and cleaned or replaced, use a brush
to clean the threads and replace the
o-ring.

Operating Instructions
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
Wood and glass cleaning (coarse)
shells (ground)
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.
IMPORTANT: THIS CONDENSATION WILL CAKE THE SAND AND CLOG THE SANDBLASTING GUN. A CLOGGED GUN WILL
NOT OPERATE.
A compressed air dryer and/or air line filter will help eliminate this moisture.
