upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,
or any other tools on machine. Always verify
removal before starting!
USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use
this tool for its intended purpose—do not force
it or an attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed. Never make unapproved modifications—modifying tool or using it differently than
intended may result in malfunction or mechanical
failure that can lead to personal injury or death!
AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions
that make workpiece control difficult or increase
the risk of accidental injury.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction.
GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris. Make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE

Additional Safety for Sandblast Cabinets
Long-term respiratory, hearing, and vision injuries can occur from using sandblasting abrasives
without proper use of personal protective equipment and an adequate dust collection system.
Sparks from abrasive particles can ignite explosive or flammable materials. To minimize risk of
getting injured, anyone operating machine MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.
LUNG, EAR, EYE PROTECTION. Media
blasting presents a real hazard of silicosis and
other lung contamination injuries! These injuries
are permanent and can get worse over time.
ALWAYS use proper blast cabinet hood, eye and
ear protection, and properly fitted and maintained
NIOSH-approved respirator to reduce risk of
eyes, ears, and lungs becoming permanently
damaged. Protect yourself correctly, and keep all
unprotected bystanders away. For latest types of
protective equipment and acceptable respirator
types, contact your local OSHA or NIOSH office.
REDUCING RISK OF FIRE & EXPLOSIONS.
Some abrasive particles can create sparks, which
can ignite explosive or flammable materials.
DO NOT use blast cabinet near explosive or
flammable materials; move these types of
materials a safe distance away.
SAFE ENVIRONMENT. To avoid media escaping
through cabinet air outlet, only use blast cabinet
if dust collector is ON and collector filter is
unclogged. After blasting, continue running dust
collector long enough to clear cabinet of dust
before opening hood/door(s). Close and latch
hood/door(s) shut before and after operation.
Properly dispose of collected dust to avoid
contaminating shop air. Use dust collection
system correctly sized for blast cabinet and
abrasive type/size.
MAINTAINING COMPONENTS. To prevent
accidental contamination or blast injury, replace
tips, hoses, lenses, and gloves when they
become worn, and clean dust collector and filters
often. Avoid spraying media at rubber gloves.
SAFE MEDIA BLASTING. Only use clean,
dry, regulated compressed air. Never exceed
maximum operating pressure or lines and seals
may burst and cause injury. Never use oxygen,
carbon dioxide, combustible gases, or any bottled
gas as an air source, as these can explode.
CHECKING FOR LEAKS. To prevent accidental
contamination of shop air, check blast cabinet for
leaks before and during use, verify connections
are tight, and immediately seal any leaks, if
found. If leaks are found during operation,
immediately stop using blast cabinet and repair
leaks immediately before resuming use.
AVOIDING TOXIC DUST EXPOSURE. Always
use low toxicity abrasives and avoid blasting
workpieces containing crystalline silica, lead,
asbestos, or radioactive substances.
LEAVING UNATTENDED. To prevent accidental
injury, explosion, or air contamination, disconnect
air supply when leaving blast cabinet.
AVOIDING ENTRAPMENT.To prevent
entrapment hazard for animals or children, always
close and latch blast cabinet hood/door(s) when
not in use.
SAFE MAINTENANCE. To prevent accidental
blasting injury or shock, disconnect air supply and
power before loading and unloading workpiece,
and before doing maintenance or changing blast
tips.
USING CORRECT LIGHTING. To prevent ballast
overload and possible fire or explosion, only
install bulb(s) designed for blast cabinet.

Air System Setup
Air Supply
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, the air supply must
be able to deliver between 5–14 CFM at 60–100
PSI.
Refer to your compressor Owner’s Manual and
make sure that the compressor can handle the
air requirements for this blast cabinet. Smaller
compressors can be used, but the duration of the
work shift must be reduced to avoid exceeding
compressor duty cycle. Not allowing the compressor to cool will lead to compressor or motor
failure. The smaller the compressor, the longer
cool-down time that will be required between the
work cycles.
Figure 9. Adding abrasive material to hopper.
5. Re-install bottom panels (see Figure 10) and
close top hatch.
If using smaller compressors, make sure to service the compressor more frequently, and verify
that your compressor has the best cooling airflow
possible.
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 media dust enter
the compressor through the intake or during general service, the piston rings, valves, and bearings
can be quickly destroyed.
If an air compressor is not available or the blast
cabinet is to be used in a remote location, NEVER
connect blast cabinet to pressurized bottled gasses, such as oxygen bottles used for welding
operations. Line ruptures or explosions can occur,
causing equipment damage, serious injury, or
death.

-10 -
Model T27359 (Mfd. Since 02/15)
Air Plumbing
Install the air supply lines with a slight tilt back
toward the compressor tank or drain valve, so
the moisture that accumulates from condensation
will drain back into the compressor tank or drain
valve instead of puddling in the low areas of the
air lines.
Install an in-line water separator or an air dryer as
close to the blast cabinet as possible where the
air has had the most time to cool. Water separators typically work best on cool air rather than on
hot air that comes right out of the compressor
tank.
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.
Remove any in-line oilers that are installed directly in the blast cabinet air supply line. Otherwise
the media and blast cabinet will become contaminated with oil, and blasting operations will quickly
come to a halt. Air supply lines for other machines
that have in-line oilers need not be removed, as
long as these lines only feed from the blast cabinet supply line.
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.
Dust Collection
This machine creates substantial amounts
of dust during operation. Breathing airborne dust on a regular basis can result in
permanent respiratory illness. Reduce your
risk by wearing a respirator and capturing
the dust with a dust collection system.
Minimum CFM at Dust Port: 100 CFM
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with
the rating of the dust collector. To determine the
CFM at the dust port, you must consider these
variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector,
(2) hose type and length between the dust collector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines
throughout the system. Explaining how to calculate these variables is beyond the scope of
this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a
good dust collection "how-to" book.
To connect dust collection system to machine:

Basic Operation
The Model T27359 sandblast cabinet is equipped
with a blast nozzle with a ceramic tip, a siphon
hose, a built-in light, large viewing window, and
sealed rubber gloves. The hopper beneath the
removable bottom panel recycles and stores the
abrasive media for re-use or easy removal. Safely
blast away paint and rust without making a mess
around your shop.
Note: Experiment with different pressures and
abrasives to gain practical experience.
Note: Keep the sandblasting abrasives moisture-
free, otherwise the nozzle tip will frequently clog.
4. Remove bottom panels. Carefully add
approximately 12 lbs. of abrasive into
sandblaster without causing a hazardous dust
cloud. DO NOT overfill, or sandblasting will
be sluggish and very cloudy inside of cabinet.
5. Insert workpiece, then close and lock top
hatch.
6. Adjust air supply regulator to 60–100 PSI at
5–14 CFM.
7. Clean filter cover, and ensure incoming
compressor line is free of moisture.
8. Turn ON dust collection/vacuum system and
air compressor, insert hands in gloves, and
begin sandblasting in a slow circular motion.
To use sandblast cabinet:
1. Wear safety glasses and respirator at all times
when running and maintaining sandblast
cabinet!
2. Plug in AC/DC transformer and turn light ON.
3. Unscrew and remove blast nozzle (see
Figure 12). Install ceramic tip.

Operation Tips
Improving Productivity
Clean workpieces as much as possible by
removing grease, oils, paint, rust, scale and
other matter before beginning blasting operations.
(Pressure washers can work well for this.) Select
the correct media for the task, and do not use air
pressure settings that are too high for the media
as it will cause media breakdown and dulling.
Maintaining Visibility
Should poor visibility become a problem during
blasting operations, do not wipe the windows
clean with wet or dry rags. Doing so will scratch
the protective plastic sheet, further reducing
visibility. Instead, vacuum media away with a soft
brush attachment, or use a soft paint brush to
brush the dust off of the protective sheets.
Protecting Window Glass
Always make sure to inspect and replace the
protective sheets BEFORE the ricochetting
media wears through and permanently etches the
underlying glass. If using an aggressive media,
this is especially true, and you may have to double
the sheets to protect from wear-through before the
blasting project is finished.
Extending Protective Film Life
For most media blasting operations, maintain a
distance of six inches. Keep the spray at a 45°–60°
angle to the workpiece, so the media will ricochet
off it and not directly impact the bulb or viewing
window. Doing this will help maintain workpiece
visibility and make the protective window film and
media last longer.
Air Pressure Settings
Most operations are done with air pressure settings
between 60 –80 PSI. However, the optimum air
pressure is derived from a trial-and-error process
based on the factors discussed in the Abrasive
Options section (see Page 16). If required, refer
to that section for help.
Media Amounts
Loading only enough media for the job at hand
will help prevent over-using or having to screen
excess media. Use just enough media to cover
the suction tube opening at the bottom of the
hopper. Experiment with using the least amount of
media as possible. The result of using less media
is that there will be less material to sift or discard
and more fresh media for other projects. Store
media in a dry place.
Maintaining Workpiece Finish
Abrasive media will wear the ceramic tip causing
an inconsistent blast pattern. A poor blast pattern
will leave streaks or spots on the workpiece finish.
To avoid this, rotate the ceramic tip

Recycling Media
Sift used media with a series of wire mesh
screens to refine it to one consistent size.
Air Pressure Exceptions
When blasting thin materials made of aluminum,
copper, brass, wood, or other delicate parts,
select a fine or soft 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 glass bead media,
you may have to keep the operating pressure
between 50–80 PSI, or the media will shatter and
break down prematurely. However, if using media
like silicon carbide and aluminium oxide, you can
keep pressures between 100–125 PSI.
Preventing & Clearing Clogs
During blasting operations, the ceramic tip
may periodically clog or become restricted with
workpiece debris. If this occurs, cover the ceramic
tip hole tightly with a flat section of scrap material,
and press the foot valve. Air pressure will be
diverted back through the suction circuit in the
gun and piping, blowing out the clog. Blasting
operations can be resumed afterwards; however,
if clogging persists and the cause is other than
workpiece debris, refer to Troubleshooting for
further solutions.
Below is a basic introduction to some of the most
common blasting abrasives. Refer to magazines,
trade articles, professionals, and the abrasive
manufacturer for the specific surfaces that can
be addressed with a type of abrasive. All abrasives have benefits and drawbacks like quality
of surface finish, abrasive life, toxicity, and what
precautions you must take to prevent environmental damage or personal injury to your respiratory
system.
Glass and Garnet Type Abrasives
Typically this abrasive works well for soft metals
and addressing surface issues with machine parts
where tolerances must not be affected. The life
of this abrasive is limited and not well suited for
repetitively recycling.
Sand Type Abrasives
This abrasive is easy to find, and gives an average
finish that is acceptable for most projects. Sand
has a good recycling life and is very economical.
Plastic Type Abrasives
Applied at low pressures of 30 to 50 PSI, plastic abrasives should be harder than the coating
being removed, but softer than the workpiece to
avoid damage. Plastic abrasive is excellent for
addressing surface issues on aluminum, magnesium, copper, brass, thin steel, titanium, compos-
ite surfaces, and fiberglass.
Steel Type Abrasives
This aggressive abrasive creates a rough finish that accepts paint well. The abrasive is very
durable and has a long life; however, it MUST be
kept very dry to prevent rusting.
Alumina Type Abrasives
This multi-purpose abrasive creates a smoother
finish than the steel abrasives, but has a shorter life span. Less of the workpiece surface is
removed with this more forgiving abrasive.

SECTION 5: MAINTENANCE
Cleaning &
Always disconnect
power and air supply to
machine before performing maintenance. Failure
to do this may result in
serious personal injury.
Schedule
For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.
Daily Check
• Inspect fittings, hoses, and cabinet seals for
leaks, cracks, abrasions, and wear.
• Drain air line water separators.
• Verify the air pressure is set for the media.
• Inspect for worn or damaged power cord/
adapter.
• Look for any other unsafe condition.
• Rotate/replace ceramic tip to compensate for
wear.
Monthly Check
• Use soapy water on air fittings and hoses
while looking for bubbles that indicate leaks.
• Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside
cabinet.
• Inspect work gloves for holes or wear.
• Empty cabinet, wipe down inside, and inspect
for leaks or damage.
• Cover windows and repaint bare metal portions of cabinet.
Protecting
Wear safety goggles and a respirator when
cleaning cabinet or 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
clean them with wet or dry rags. Instead, vacuum
media away with a brush attachment, or gently
brush the window with a soft paint brush.
The blast cabinet is equipped with a pleated filter
with a foam cover that is designed to filter media
and contaminants from air before it re-enters the
shop. Every 20–30 minutes of blasting opera-
tions, remove the filter cover and shake built-up
abrasive into the garbage (see Figure 16). You
may also hand wash the foam cover. However, do
not operate the sandblaster until the cover is dry.
