Machine Description
This blast cabinet is designed for high-use media
blasting operations, where air flow up to 16 CFM
and air pressure up to 120 PSI can be used. Air
pressure is fully adjustable with an air pressure
regulator, and the media output can be adjusted
with the media flow valve. Blasting operations
through a hand-held blast gun are controlled by a
foot valve, and most operations can be carried out
with all types of blasting media.
An internal set of fluorescent work lamps provide
illumination during blasting operations, and a
built-in dust collector maintains blasting environment visibility. The cabinet is equipped with front
and side loading doors for ease of workpiece
loading and unloading. Media is quickly unloaded
through the hopper dump port door, and reloaded
through one of the doors.

Site Considerations
Weight Load
Physical Environment
Place this machine near an existing power source.
Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract
Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight
of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon
which the machine is placed will bear the weight
of the machine, additional equipment that may be
installed on the machine, and the heaviest workpiece that will be used. Additionally, consider the
weight of the operator and any dynamic loading
that may occur when operating the machine.
Space Allocation
Consider the largest size of workpiece that will
be processed through this machine and provide
enough space around the machine for adequate
operator material handling or the installation of
auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,
leave enough space around the machine to open
or remove doors/covers as required by the maintenance and service described in this manual.
See below for required space allocation.
Children or untrained people
may be seriously injured by
this machine. Only install in an
access restricted location.
The physical environment where the machine is
operated is important for safe operation and longevity of machine components. For best results,
operate this machine in a dry environment that is
free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemicals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions.
Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are
generally those where the ambient temperature
range exceeds 41°–104°F; the relative humidity
range exceeds 20–95% (non-condensing); or the
environment is subject to vibration, shocks, or
bumps.
Electrical Installation
Make sure all power cords are protected from
traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals,
or other hazards. Make sure to leave access to
a means of disconnecting the power source or
engaging a lockout/tagout device, if required.
Lighting
Lighting around the machine must be adequate
enough that operations can be performed safely.
or impede the operator must be eliminated.

Mounting to Shop
Floor
Although not required, we recommend that you
mount your new machine to the floor. Because
this is an optional step and floor materials may
vary, floor mounting hardware is not included.
Generally, you can either bolt your machine to
the floor or mount it on machine mounts. Both
options are described below. Whichever option
you choose, it is necessary to level your machine
with a precision level.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts (Figure 4) and
anchor studs are two popular methods for anchoring an object to a concrete floor. We suggest
you research the many options and methods for
mounting your machine and choose the best that
fits your specific application.
Using Machine Mounts
Using machine mounts, shown in Figure 5, gives
the advantage of fast leveling and vibration reduction. The large size of the foot pads distributes
the weight of the machine to reduce strain on the
floor.
Figure 5. Machine mount example.
Figure 4. Typical fasteners for mounting to
concrete floors.
NOTICE
Anchor studs are stronger and more permanent alternatives to lag shield anchors;
however, they will stick out of the floor,
which may cause a tripping hazard if you
decide to move your machine.
NOTICE
We strongly recommend securing your
machine to the floor if it is hardwired to the
power source. Consult with your electrician
to ensure compliance with local codes.

Air Supply Setup
The ability of this blast cabinet to accomplish its
task is directly related to how well the air supply
system is designed. For this blast cabinet to operate at its maximum potential with the largest blast
tip, the CFM feeding the regulator should be 16
CFM at 120 PSI.
Refer to your compressor Owner’s Manual and
make sure that the compressor can handle the
load of a blasting cabinet. Often a 5 HP compressors are used, but the duration of the work shift
and tip size installed must be reduced so the
compressor duty cycle is not exceeded. Ignoring
this requirement could lead to compressor overheating and failure. The rule of thumb is that, the
smaller the compressor, the less CFM available,
and greater cool-down time required.
If this blast cabinet is to be used at full capacity
in eight-hour work shifts at the maximum air pressure of 120 PSI using the largest tip, an industrialgrade compressor capable of delivering up to 16
CFM may be required.
For smaller compressors, make sure to increase
the compressor maintenance interval and verify
that your compressor has the best cooling airflow
possible.
Remove any in-line oilers, make the supply line
long enough to allow the compressed air to fully
cool before it reaches the gun, and install an
in-line water separator or air dryer. Tilt air supply lines slightly back toward the compressor so
residual condensation in the lines will run back to
the tank instead of the media blasting unit. For a
general summary of the typical air system of this
blast cabinet and supply system, refer to the Air System Diagram on Page 39.
If using an existing air system, eliminate air supply
restrictions and pressure drops that may occur at
small quick-disconnect fittings, elbows, small supply piping, undersized water separators, kinked
lines, or rust-filled piping.
Typically, when installing a new supply line for the
blast cabinet with a 125 foot run or less, the air
supply line up to the regulator inlet should have
an inside diameter of
supply line with a 1" inside diameter is recommended.
If an air compressor is not available or the blast
cabinet is to be used at a remote location, NEVER
connect this blast cabinet to pressurized bottled
gasses such as oxygen bottles used in welding
operations. Line ruptures or explosions can occur,
causing equipment damage, serious injury, or
death.

⁄4". For runs up to 300', a
When filling or servicing the blast cabinet, there
is a risk of subjecting the compressor to airborne
media or dust. Be sure to locate the blast cabinet
away from the compressor operating environment.
If even small amounts of fine media dust enter the
compressor through the intake or during general
service, rings, pistons, valves, and bearings can
be quickly destroyed.
Make sure to install an air supply quick-disconnect fitting or a shut-off valve that can be locked
out to prevent the air pressure from accidentally
being turned on. These items allow for the blast
cabinet to be serviced safely or allow it to sit idle
when not in use.

SECTION 4: OPERATIONS
Media blasting presents a real hazard of silicosis and other lung contamination injuries! These
injuries are permanent and can get worse over time. If you use media blasting equipment
without the proper eye protection and respirator, your lungs and eyes may become irreversibly
contaminated. DO NOT use this blast cabinet unless you know how to use it, protect yourself
correctly, and keep all unprotected bystanders away. For the latest types of protective equipment
and acceptable respirator types, contact your local OSHA or NIOSH office.
Preparation
To reduce the risk of serious injury when using this
machine, read and understand this entire manual before beginning any
operations.
Damage to your eyes and lungs could result
from using this machine without proper protective gear. Always wear safety goggles and
a respirator when operating this machine.
NEVER sand blast with the doors open,
point the gun at yourself or anyone else, or
attempt to service any part of this machine
while it is plugged in or connected to air
pressure. ALWAYS disconnect the blast
cabinet from power and air pressure when
not in use, or during maintenance or adjustments. Ignoring this warning may lead to
severe injury.
NOTICE
If you have never used this type of equipment before, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND
that you read books, trade magazines, or
get formal training before beginning any

Select and load the blasting media through
4.
one of the doors. Never load media that
contains free silica, as this is a leading cause
of silicosis. Refer to Page 25 for media
types.
Note: Loading just enough media for the job at
hand will help you prevent over-using or having
to screen excess media. Typically use enough
media to cover the metering valve opening by

for the type of media blasting being done and
the media being used.
Install the correct tip into the blast gun, in the

order shown (Figure 19). For lower air use
the 6mm tip is used most often. Refer to Page 25 for air pressure and media options.
Blast Tip
Figure 19. Blast tip installation.
Note: It is very important to maintain
concentricity of the tip orifice as it wears. To
do this you must rotate the media blasting tip
1
⁄4-turn every 10 to 12 hours of use. Worn tips
make an inconsistent media spray pattern. As
a result, surfaces can be left with streaking
or spots of tear-out. Replace any tip that has

Note: If the metering valve screw (Figure 18)
is turned clockwise and restricts the vents too
much, the gun will pulsate and a low-velocity
rich-media spray will result. If the metering
valve screw is turned counterclockwise too
far, opening the vents too much, the gun will
be noisy and a lean media spray will result.
Under both conditions, low productivity is the
ultimate outcome. Trial-and-error is the best
way to sort out your adjustments for the type
of media and blasting to be done.

pressure to the desired setting (Figure 21).
Typically this is a trial-and-error process, but
a good range to start at is between 60 and 80
PSI.
Inspect the windows (Figure 23) for clarity and
10.
for any evidence of damage to the protective
film. Peel off worn or damaged film and affix
new sheets as required. Replace the sheets
BEFORE they are worn through. If using an
aggressive media, you may have to double
the sheets to protect from wear-through
before your blasting project is finished.
NEVER WIPE WINDOWS WITH WET OR
DRY RAGS! Doing so will scratch the viewing
surface. Instead, vacuum media away and
then gently brush the remnants off the glass
with a soft paint brush. If visibility becomes a
problem, refer to Troubleshooting on Page
30 for further solutions.

13. Slowly press on the foot pedal (Figure 25) and
move the blast tip in a slow circular motion.
Abrasive media will begin spraying from the
blast gun tip.
Note: If the gun or metering valve begins to
clog or becomes completely clogged during
use, cover the hole in the blast tip tightly,
and pull the gun trigger. Air pressure will be
then diverted back through the media suction
piping and usually blow out the clog.
If clogging still persists, it is likely that the
moisture or contamination ratio in the media
is too high, or there could be a loose fitting
or leak in a hose. Dry out the media, install a
moisture trap, screen or replace the media, or
check for leaking hose.
Only use high quality DRY media. DO NOT
use regular sand, and recognize when media
has broken down and is too fine or loaded up
with contaminants to work properly. Worn-out
media and contaminants will cause caking
and clogging.
Figure 25. Blast gun ON/OFF control.
Note: For most media blasting operations,
maintain a blast distance of six inches.
Maintain a blasting spray at a 45°-60° degree
angle from the workpiece so the media will
ricochet off and not directly impact the lamp or
viewing window. Doing this will help maintain
workpiece visibility and make the protective
viewing window film and media last longer.
Do not point the gun at the workpiece where
the tip is perpendicular or 90°degrees from
the surface.
Note: When media blasting thin materials
made of aluminum, copper, brass, wood, or
other delicate parts, select the correct media
and begin blasting at a low pressure, such as
45 PSI. Next, slowly increase the air pressure
until you achieve the finish required. When
using some types of glass bead media, you
may have to keep the operating pressure
between 50-80 PSI, or the media will break
down prematurely. Some media like silicon
carbide and aluminium oxide can withstand
pressures of up to 120 PSI on this machine;
however, most media blasting operations
should occur at 80 PSI.
If clogging persists, refer to Troubleshooting
on Page 30 for further solutions.
Every 20-30 minutes during cabinet use, push
14.
the canister plunger in until it stops, then let
your thumb slide off of the button so the spring
slaps the plunger back against the canister
wall. This causes vibration that knocks off the
material which is caked onto the outside of the
filter (Figure 26). Every five hours of cabinet
use, service the dust collector filter. Refer to
Maintenance on Page 29 for procedures.

Blasting Media
Media Cost vs. Productivity
Often it is assumed that by using low-cost media,
such as basic builder's sand or play sand, the
worker can enjoy increased productivity costs
because sand is so cheap. However, since sand
is a "Dull Media," the blasting tip size must be
increased and higher air pressure and more CFM
are required to increase the blast velocity to overcome the dull media problem. This compensation
usually results in longer compressor duty cycles
that can overheat some units.
Compressor maintenance cycles, power consumption, and water separator service intervals
may increase. Additionally, general sand can
cause increased down-time from clogging tips,
hoses, and valves, and generally create a hazardous, silica-laden environment.
With the correct research, excellent productivity
can be achieved using sharp media with a smaller
tip and less air pressure than with dull media at a
higher pressure.
Maximizing Media Life
Screen the used media with a series of wire mesh
screens to refine it to one consistent size. When
using the blasting cabinet, experiment with using
the least amount of media as possible. The result
of using less media is that you will have less material to screen or discard and more fresh media for
mixed projects. Store media in a dry place.
Some of the common blasting media types are
listed below with the MOH scale hardness value.
All media have benefits and drawbacks, such as
the quality of surface finish, media life, toxicity,
and the precautions that must be taken to prevent
environmental damage or personal injury to your
respiratory system. However, all media presents
a health risk. Never use media that contains free
silica.
Aluminum Oxide (8.5-9)
For surface finishing, aluminum oxide is one of
the most common and widely used media. Having
an angular shape, it is considered an extremely
sharp, has extended blasting times, and is highly
recyclable.
Silicon Carbide (9-9.5)
This blast media is considered to be the hardest
available. The crystal structure is sharp, cutting
is fast and aggressive. This media is often use to
engrave and etch glass and stone. Shorter blasting periods also result from this hard and sharp
media. Silicon carbide has no free silica and it can
be recycled many times.
Sand Type Media (6-7)
This media is easy to find and gives an average
finish that is acceptable for many projects. Sand
has a good recycling life and is economical.
However, the cutting ability at lower air pressure
and CFM can be poor—with a higher hazard of
silicosis and machine clogging. Many sand-type
media contain free silica and present a health
hazard for silicosis.
Model G0708 (Mfd. Since 1/15)

Page 28
Steel Type Media
This aggressive media creates a rough finish that
accepts paint well. The media is very durable and
has a long life; however, it MUST be kept very dry
to prevent rusting. The main types are as follows:
—Steel Grit (8-9): Compared to aluminum
oxide, steel grit is softer and has a low
habit of fracture, which leaves an excellent
etched surface on rubber coatings, paints,
and other coatings. This is a popular choice
for aircraft applications. Steel grit comes in
many grit sizes and hardness.
—Steel Shot (6-7.5): Steel shot is one of
the most widely used media for stripping,
cleaning, and general improvements of
metal surfaces. This media has a roundedball shape and comes in many grades,
sizes, and hardness. In most instances,
this type of media gives the surface a shiny
or polished look. Steel shot peening also
serves as a method to strengthen machinery parts such as impeller fins, bearing
parts, springs, and torsional components.
This media does not create high amounts
of dust and has a superior recycle rate.
—Crushed Glass (5.5): This media is cre-
ated from recycled bottle glass, and other
glass. The media described here has a
sharp cutting behavior, as the particles are
angular shaped. Often this media is used
to remove epoxy coatings, glues, polyurethanes, vinyls, elastomers, rubbers and tar.
Surfaces have less imbedded particles with
this media, and as a result, the finishes are
usually very light and clean-looking.
—Garnet (6.5-7.5): This is a very effective
blast media typically used in shipyards
and the oil and gas sector where steel
pipes and fittings must be cleaned. This
media is also used on brick, stone, and
stainless steel. It is naturally occurring and
very dense and hard. The recyclability is
good, and it is a common choice for use in
cabinet-type blast cabinets.
Slag Media
Slag media are by-products of various types of
smelting and coal burning processes. Be aware
that some slag media may contain unwanted byproducts from these processes.
Glass and Garnet Type Media
Glass media contains no free silica or heavy metals and is non-toxic and inert. This media works
well for soft metals and is a common choice when
critical tolerances of machine parts must not be
affected. The life of this media is limited and is not
well-suited for repetitive screening and recycling.
—Glass Beads (5.5): Just as the name
indicates, this media is round in shape,
chemically inert, and has no dangerous
free silica. The glass beads come in various grit sizes and hardness. It is manufactured from lead-free, soda lime-type glass.
Unlike angular abrasives that cut, these
beads burnish and leave a bright finish that
typically will have no dimensional change.
The beads can be recycled many times.
Common applications are honing wood,
blending surfaces, polishing, peening, finishing surfaces, removing scratches, and
basic cleaning of most materials.
—Copper Slag (7-8): This media is consid-
ered an expendable media and is a very
good alternative to sand media. Copper
slag is a by-product from the copper manufacturing process and it is very economical
but non-reusable. Compared to the use of
silica sand usage, it does not present a
silicosis health hazard. Blasting operations
best suited for this media are cleaning rust,
mill scale, and paint from steel. Copper
slag leaves a good surface that is ready to
anchor and bond coatings and paints. The
structure is blocky and sharp-edged.
—Coal Slag (6-7): This type of media is
made from liquid coal slag from utility boilers. The material is hardened and crushed
into a fast-cutting media that is sharp and
angular. This media creates little dust, but
can release hazardous pollutants into the
air. Various grit sizes can be used from
light blasting operations to heavy-duty rust,
paint, and mill scale removal. The resulting
finish is a good surface ready to anchor
and bond coatings and paints.

Plastic Beads
Plastic abrasives are available in a variety of
types such as urea, melamine, and acrylic compositions. These beads are shaped just as indicated and give reliable and consistent stripping
results. Paints, varnishes, rusts, and oxidation can
be stripped from soft metals, plastics, and wood.
The aerospace and automotive industry are chief
consumers of this blast media.
—Urea (3-4): Considered to be an enviorn-
mentally-friendly choice, urea is the most
commonly used plastic media. It is recyclable and is an excellent choice for stripping tough coatings when speed is a high
priority and the surface is not critical.
—Melamine (3-4): Also a long-lasting recy-
clable media, this abrasive is the most
aggressive in the family of the plastic
beads. Due to its hardness, it can strip
hard-to-remove coatings and be the substitute for some of the other types of glass
beads.
—Acrylic (3-4): This is a multipurpose blast
media that is one of the longest lasting
types available. It is often used for stripping sensitive surfaces or delicate parts
that may consist of multiple types of compounds. It is available in a wide range of
grit sizes.
—Pumice (6-7): This media is the softest
media available and is a natural volcanic
ash that is an inert mineral. Pumice can be
used for the most sensitive blasting operations where the painted or finished surface
must be entirely unaffected by the removal
of the foreign matter. The structure is
block-shaped and is honeycombed.
—Ground Corn Cob (4.5): Is an organic,
soft blasting grit that has an angular shape.
It has excellent surface cleaning behavior
that is similar to ground walnut and peanut
shells. Corn cob media is commonly used
to strip bark off of wood, light coatings,
and dirt without surface damage or grain
blowout. It is available in a selection of grit
sizes.
—Sodium Bicarbonate (2.4): Baking soda is
inert and has an excellent ability to remove
and absorb the dirt or contaminants from a
surface. It will not peen or cut the underlying workpiece. This important media can
be used where small ports and bores must
be cleaned without the hazard of clogging
the passages. The workpiece and its passages can be cleaned with water as this
blast media is water soluble.
Soft Blast Media
There are many types of "Soft" blast media, many
of which are minerals, inert, and organic. Some
blast cabinets with dust collection systems require
special filters or dust collectors for soft types of
media. For the Model G0708, filter cleaning inter-
val will have to be increased to maintain flow.
—Ground Walnut: (4.5-5) This is a soft
media that is produced from crushed or
ground walnut shells. The structure is
multi-faceted and angular with no free
silica in the media. Durability is excellent,
and this media is a good choice for blasting operations where the paint, varnish, or
coating must be cleaned but not marred or
removed. Hardwoods, jewelry, and electrical items can also be cleaned with this
media. Using a larger grit under higher
pressure settings, paint and varnishes, and
engine parts can be cleaned of coke and
carbon deposits.

• Cover windows and repaint bare metal por-
tions of cabinet.
• Remove filter and clean/replace as required.
Cleaning
Wear safety goggles and a respirator when
cleaning the cabinet or the filter. Failure to
comply can cause serious personal injury.
Wipe down the exterior of the cabinet with a light
solution of mild dish soap and water, then dry
with a clean towel. To avoid scratching windows,
never wipe windows with wet or dry rags. Instead,
vacuum media away and then gently brush the
remnants off of the glass with a soft paint brush.
The blast cabinet is equipped with 6 3⁄4" diameter
x 12" long pleated filter that is designed to filter
media and contaminants from air that re-enters
the shop. During operation, basic de-caking is
done manually every 20 to 30 minutes with the
canister plunger. Empty the canister (Figure 30)
at least every five hours of use. Typically this
media is discarded as it has a high ratio of fine
dust contaminants. For major cleaning, unlatch
the top of the dust collector and remove the filter
element. Inspect all sealing foam and replace
as required. Clean the filter canister pleats by
carefully blowing it from the inside out with compressed air. If usability of the filter is in question,
or any holes or tears exist, replace it.

—If the brushes have worn deep grooves in
the commutator, we recommend replacing
the motor. Typically the labor involved with
re-turning the commutator on a lathe and
then undercutting the insulator segments
far exceeds the price of a new motor.
—If the commutator only has minor wear and
black-colored carbon tracking (Figure 37),
use a fine crocus cloth to polish the commutator where the brushes ride. DO NOT
use emery cloth or sandpaper to clean
the commutator or you will make it out-ofround, which will cause the new brushes to
arc, overheat, and wear out quickly.
Finish the cleaning process by using acetone
and a cotton rag to wipe off any oils or contaminants from the commutator.
7. Slide the brush assembly apart, clean the
housings and brass sleeves with mineral spirits, and allow the parts to dry (Figure 36).

11. Place the brush housing into the brush seat
on the motor, and place the retainer over the
brush housing so the lock lug drops into the
slot in the brush housing (Figure 39).

When the brush housings are installed, make

sure to route the brush power wires well away
from the commutator, as shown in Figure 40, or the commutator will wear into the wire,
causing an electrical short.

SECTION 8: WIRING
These pages are current at the time of printing. However, in the spirit of improvement, we may make changes to the electrical systems of future machines. Study this section carefully. If there are differences between
your machine and what is shown in this section, call Technical Support at (570) 546-9663 for assistance
BEFORE making any changes to the wiring on your machine.
Wiring Safety Instructions
SHOCK HAZARD. Working on wiring that is connected to a power source is extremely dangerous.
Touching electrified parts will result in personal
injury including but not limited to severe burns,
electrocution, or death. Disconnect the power
from the machine before servicing electrical components!
MODIFICATIONS. Modifying the wiring beyond
what is shown in the diagram may lead to unpredictable results, including serious injury or fire.
This includes the installation of unapproved aftermarket parts.
WIRE CONNECTIONS. All connections must
be tight to prevent wires from loosening during
machine operation. Double-check all wires disconnected or connected during any wiring task to
ensure tight connections.
CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS. You MUST follow
the requirements at the beginning of this manual when connecting your machine to a power
source.
WIRE/COMPONENT DAMAGE. Damaged wires
or components increase the risk of serious personal injury, fire, or machine damage. If you notice
that any wires or components are damaged while
performing a wiring task, replace those wires or
components.
MOTOR WIRING. The motor wiring shown in
these diagrams is current at the time of printing
but may not match your machine. If you find this
to be the case, use the wiring diagram inside the
motor junction box.
CAPACITORS/INVERTERS. Some capacitors
and power inverters store an electrical charge for
up to 10 minutes after being disconnected from
the power source. To reduce the risk of being
shocked, wait at least this long before working on
capacitors.
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If you are experiencing difficulties understanding the information
included in this section, contact our Technical
Support at (570) 546-9663.
