CONSUMABLES
Please be aware that certain parts of this sandblaster will wear, and require

The speed at which certain parts wear depends on the abrasiveness of the
materials used. Replacement parts are available from your nearest Clarke
International dealer.
Warning: Compressed air can be dangerous. Ensure that you are
thoroughly familiar with all precautions relating to the use of
compressors and compressed air supply.
1. Read this instruction manual before connecting the sandblaster to a
compressor.
2. Do not use any silica based abrasives with this sandblaster. Silica based
abrasives have been linked to severe respiratory disease. Always use
recommended abrasives. Abrasives used in this sandblaster may be
covered by COSHH Regulations.
3. Read this manual carefully. Learn the sandblasters applications and
limitations, as well as potential hazards specific to it.
4. Do not expose the sandblaster to moisture. Don't use this sandblaster in
damp or wet locations, Keep out of rain.
5. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark work areas invite
accidents,
6. Keep children away. All children should be kept away from the work area.
Never let a child handle a tool without strict adult supervision.
7. Do not operate this sandblaster if under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Read warning labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgment or
reflexes are impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not
attempt to operate,
8. Use safety equipment. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection should be used in appropriate conditions.
9. Don't overreach, Keep proper footing and balance at all times when
operating this sandblaster.
10. Always disconnect the sandblaster from the air supply and release pressure
from the tank before storing, servicing, or changing accessories.
11. Use clamps or other practical means to secure and support the work piece
to a stable platform. Do not hold the work by hand or against your body.
12. Do not point the sandblaster at anyone or any objects other than the
intended work object.
13. Check your sandblaster regularly for damage, If part of the sandblaster is
damaged it should be carefully inspected to make sure that it can perform
its intended function correctly. If in doubt, the part should be repaired.
Refer all servicing to a qualified technician. Consult your dealer for advice.
14. Do not attempt to operate this sandblaster near flammable materials or
combustibles. Failure to comply may cause serious injury.

15. Always check to make sure that the trigger is not on before connecting
the sandblaster to air supply.
16. Store the sandblaster out of the reach of children and untrained persons.
Tools may be dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
17. Drain water trap periodically during use. Do not allow moisture to fill more
than 1/2 of the water trap bowl. Do not leave water standing in the water
trap when storing the sandblaster.
18. Do not allow the sandblaster to sit pressurised while unattended or not in use.
19. Periodically check the Valves, hoses and nozzles that carry the abrasive
medium after it leaves the pressure tank these are subjected to the
abrasive blasting action so will wear out more quickly than other
components.
20. Release the air pressure in the tank before opening. See “Releasing
Pressure from the Tank” section, Make sure the pressure gauge reads “0”
before opening the tank. Do not attempt any maintenance on the
sandblaster until the pressure gauge reads “0”, and it has been
disconnected from the air supply.
21. Maintain correct air pressure whenever working. Do not allow pressure to
exceed 125 psi. If the safety valve does not release excess air pressure, stop
all work and release pressure from the tank (see “Releasing Pressure from
the Tank” section)., investigate the cause and correct it before continuing
use
22. Always make sure there is adequate ventilation. Do not sandblast in
confined areas,
23. In the case of injury seek expert medical advice immediately.

OPERATION
WARNING: ALWAYS WEAR YOUR HOOD, DUST MASK AND HEAVY DUTY
CANVAS GLOVES WHEN OPERATING THE SANDBLASTER.
WARNING: BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SANDBLASTER, INSPECT EACH
CONNECTION, DOUBLE CHECKING TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL ARE TIGHT
AND PROPERLY SEALED.
WARNING: THIS SANDBLASTER IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE WITH SILICA BASED
ABRASIVES. WHICH HAVE BEEN LINKED TO SEVERE RESPIRATORY DISEASE.
ALWAYS USE SILICA SUBSTITUTES SUCH AS CLARKE GLASS BEAD AB RAS IVE.
SAFETY AND HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS
• Before opening the tank make sure that it is not pressurised. Ensure
the gauge reads “0”. If it does not, release pressure from the tank
(See page 11).
• Disconnect the compressor before opening the tank. Protect
yourself and those around you from “over-spray”. Remember that
your sandblaster is shooting a powerful spray of abrasive material.
Do not point it at yourself or anyone around you.
• Wear protective clothing including hood, and heavy duty gloves
when using this sandblaster.
• Wear a filter or mask over your mouth when using this tool. You will
create a cloud of abrasive material and debris which is dangerous
to inhale.
• Protect anything around you that may be damaged by the abrasive
spray or particles. Nothing vulnerable to contamination, damage or
with a fine surface should be near your sandblaster.

LOADING THE ABRASIVE
Fig 7
Fig 8
• To prevent clogging, ensure that the abrasive you use is dry.
• While you may re-use abrasive, remember that abrasive grit/
material does wear out. After use, abrasive becomes smoother and
rounder, thus reducing its effectiveness.
NOTE: Re-using abrasive may also cause clogging due to fine debris
contained in the mixture from prior use.
1.
Close the air supply valve by
turning it to the closed position,
see Fig 7.
2. Press the trigger to release any
press
ure from the tank.
• Make sure the pressure gauge
reads “0”.
3. Remove the filler cap.
4.
Using the sieve and funnel
supplied, pour the selected
abrasive medium into the tank,
see Fig 8.
• Do not fill the tank more than ¾
full.
• If humidity in your region is 90%
or more, only fill the tank
and check the water trap more
frequently.
5. Replace the filler cap ensuring the

Test the safety valve by pulling up
on the valve as shown in Fig 10.
• Air will hiss out when the valve is
pu
lled.
Open the throttle valve, Fig 11.

slowly open the abrasive control
valve as shown in Fig 12
until
abrasive material begins to flow
out of the trigger.
8. Adjust the abrasive control valve
until the desired amount of
abrasive material is flowing
through the trigger,
• Choose a larger nozzle for a
broader spray pattern. Choose a smaller nozzle for more focused
spray.
• Adjust air pressure with the throttle valve. Adjust abrasive flow with
abrasive control valve,
• Watch for abrasive clogging. if this happens, release pressure from
the tank if necessary and replace the abrasive with drier or cleaner
abrasive.

While continuing to press and hold
the Trigger, turn the abrasive
rol valve to the closed
cont
position, see Fig 13.
2. When you can see no abrasive is
coming out of the trigger, you can
stop the air flow by releasing the
trigger. By doing this you are
ensuring a clean and cog-free
manifold, hose, and trigger.
3. ALWAYS clean the gun thoroughly after use.
RELEASING PRESSURE FROM THE TANK
1.
When you have finished blasting,
close the abrasive control valve,
see Fig 14.
2. Press and hold the trigger to expel
an
y remaining abrasive material
from the abrasive hose.
3.
When you notice only air (no
abrasive) is coming out of the
trigger, release the trigger and
close the air supply valve, see Fig
15.
Ensure the throttle valve is open,

see Fig 16.
5. Press the trigger until air stops
flowing and the pressure gauge
reads “0”.
