WARNING!
Do not use an ALC Cabinet Blaster until you have read this manual and you understand its
contents and warnings. These warnings are included for the health and safety of the operator
and those in the immediate vicinity. Keep this manual for future reference.
Dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
may contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm and
respiratory illnesses. Some examples of the chemicals include:
Lead from lead based paints
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals: Work in a ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
Abrasive blasting produces harmful dust. Everyone in the blasting area must wear a properly
fitted and properly maintained NIOSH approved air supplied respirator.
SILICOSIS AND OTHER DUST WARNINGS:
Breathing dust from silica sand may cause silicosis, a fatal lung disease. Breathing dust
during blasting operations may also cause asbestosis and/or other serious or fatal diseases.
A NIOSH-approved, well maintained air supplied abrasive blasting respirator must be used by
anyone blasting, anyone handling or using media containing toxic substances or media with
more than point one percent (.001) free crystalline silica and anyone in the area of the dust.
Harmful dust can remain suspended in the air for long periods of time after blasting has
ceased, causing serious injury or death.
Before removing respirator, use an air monitoring instrument to determine if atmosphere is
safe to breathe. Contact local OHSA or NIOSH office to determine the proper respirator for
your particular application.
Air supplied respirators do not remove or protect against carbon monoxide (CO) or any other
toxic gas. Use a carbon monoxide removal device and monitoring device with the respirator
to ensure grade D quality air. Follow all applicable OSHA standards and OSHA regulation
1910.134 (d).

CABINET OPERATION
1.
Assemble light and siphon gun/foot pedal per instructions.
2.
Attach gloves to inner glove hole collar and secure with glove
clamps included in parts kit.
3.
Remove dust collector hose from bottom of drum and connect
one end to the dust collector and the other end to the right upper
side of cabinet.
4.
Plug light and dust collector electric cords into your 110 volt, 60
cycle electric line.
5.
Pour 25 – 50 pounds of dry abrasive blasting material into cabinet
through door opening.
6.
Attach air line to air inlet (if you have a trigger gun) or foot pedal
valve marked “IN” (if you have the foot pedal option).
7.
Most blasting operations will be performed between 60 and 100
PSI. Regulate pressure at compressor as necessary. Maximum
110 PSI.
WARNING AND SAFETY INFORMATION
Do not operate cabinet or air flow with cabinet door
open or with cabinet lens removed.
Do not use fluids or mix fluids with blast media.
This cabinet is designed for dry blasting only.
Do not exceed maximum operating pressure of 110 PSI.
WARNING!
Disconnecting hose while Unit is under pressure could cause serious injury or death. Use
safety lock pins and safety cables in all coupling connections to help prevent hose couplings
from accidental disconnection.
40413 Assembly Instructions
Page 4
If twist-on type air hose couplings are used, they must be secured by safety lock pins or wires
to prevent accidental disconnection while under pressure. Hose disconnection while under
pressure could cause serious injury.
PRESSURE BLASTER SAFETY PROCEDURES
CAUTION: READ THESE SAFETY PROCEDURES IN THEIR ENTIRETY –
PARTS OF THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ARE WITHIN THESE WARNINGS.
These procedures are not intended to be exhaustive due to the many variables in the abrasive
blasting field. Therefore, we INSIST that the hands, ears, mouth, nose and eyes be covered with
appropriate safety protection at all times.
ADDITIONAL WARNINGS!
CAUTION MUST BE EXERCISED BY USER AT ALL TIMES
1.
Do not exceed maximum working pressure of 110 PSI. Failure to keep maximum
working pressure below 110 PSI can cause the blast machine to burst, causing death or
serious injury.
2.
Everyone in the blast area including the equipment operator should correctly use and
maintain a NIOSH approved air supplied respirator, even after blasting has ceased.
Harmful dust can remain suspended in the air for long periods of time after blasting has
ceased causing injury or death
3.
Before using the pressure blaster: Put on safety glasses, gloves, and NIOSH approved
respirator. Always wear these protective items when operating and while servicing your
abrasive blaster. A well maintained air supplied blasting respirator must be used by
anyone blasting.
4.
For safe operation, perform recommended preventive maintenance on blaster cabinet,
and accessories. Replace all worn parts before they fail. Immediate replacement of
worn components is required. Failure to replace worn components could result in
exposing the operator or bystanders to high speed media and compressed air, causing
serious injury.
5.
Do not use corrosive materials of any type in unit. Use only clean, dry media.
6.
Static electricity can be created by the use of this equipment. Do not use within fifty feet
of any explosive, potentially explosive substances, or their vapors as an explosion can
occur.
40413 Assembly Instructions
Page 5
7.
Do not use this equipment in any area that might be considered hazardous or where
flammable gases or liquids are present. Failure to do so may cause an explosion
resulting in serious injury.
AIR COMPRESSOR RECOMMENDATION:
To permit efficient operation of your air compressor, follow these guidelines:
1.
Use a smaller size nozzle and air jet to control the demand of air.
2.
Do not blast continuously. Stop blasting operation periodically to allow the compressor to cool.
No compressor is designed to constantly run at full RPM. Use 70% of the rated output.
3.
Use a minimum 1/2” air hose or metal piping from your air compressor to the blaster. If your
compressor is creating an excessive amount of moisture, we recommend using a water trap or
a moisture separator.
4.
The air compressor should be drained at the bottom of the supply tank through a drain valve
and should be blown down daily. It is not unusual to drain three or four gallons of water from
the supply tank on a high humidity day. An additional supply tank will help.
5.
Keep dust and media created by blasting away from the air compressor unit. Observe
maximum air pressure requirements for the blaster and either set your compressor to run
within these limits or use a pressure regulator valve to reduce the air pressure to the
appropriate range.
ABRASIVE (MEDIA) USAGE:
1.
If moisture is in the media it will eventually damage the blaster tank or plug the system. Keep
the media and compressor air dry to avoid this problem.
2.
If media is moist, screen it and dry it before using.
3.
Do not leave media in the tank after blasting because it can absorb moisture and impair
blasting performance.
4.
Store media in a dry place; keep media off the ground or concrete floors. Put it on a wooden
skid.
5.
If the humidity is excessively high, it may not be advisable to blast at that time.
6.
Consider using different grades or different types of media to prevent nozzle clogging due to
high moisture content.
7.
Do not use sand.
40413 Assembly Instructions

MAINTENANCE
Check siphon gun nozzle and air jet for wear when replacing. Proper
matching of nozzle and air jet is very important for effective blasting.
Match size or color small/small (gold), medium/medium (silver) and
large/large (black). Replace media when worn or excessive dusting
occurs. Check and clean dust collector and filter frequently.
WARNING!
The threads on the nozzle holder and set screws must be inspected each time the nozzle is
secured to the holder. Check the threads for wear, and make sure nozzle set screw securely
grips the nozzle. The nozzle washer must also be inspected for wear. Worn nozzle washers
cause erosion. A loose-fitting nozzle may eject from the holder under pressure and could
cause severe injury.
WARNING!
Failure to observe the following before performing any maintenance could cause serious
injury or death from the sudden release of compressed air:
Depressurize the blast cabinet.
Disconnect power supply.
Lockout and tagout the compressed air supply.
Bleed the air supply line to the blast gun.
Immediate replacement of worn components is required. Failure to replace worn components
could expose the operator or bystanders to high speed media and compressed air could
cause death or serious injury.
Leaks around couplings and nozzle holders indicate worn or loose fitting parts. Nozzle
holders and couplings that do not fit tightly on hose and nozzles that do not fit tightly in
nozzle holders could disconnect while under pressure. Impact from nozzles, couplings,
hoses, or abrasive, and parts disconnected while under pressure could cause severe injury.

Coal Slag #40093
Coal Slag is used when paint and rust has to be removed from steel, such as car bodies, tanks or
heavy machinery. Coal Slag is faster cutting, can be re-used, is moisture free, and will not pack or
absorb moisture. (25 Lb. container)
Steel Grit #40109
Steel grit is extremely fast cutting on rusty metal and hard to remove paint. Steel Grit is popular
because it leaves a very smooth finish. It is also comparable in price to most other specialty
abrasives. Steel Grit is recommended in reclaim systems or cabinets. (25 Lb. container)
Glass Bead #40105
Glass Bead is used in creating a satin or matte finish. Glass Bead is recommended in reclaim
systems or cabinets. (25 Lb. container)
Aluminum Oxide #40098
Aluminum Oxide is a high quality abrasive that is sharper than sand (not recommended) and cuts
twice as fast as sand. It leaves a smooth textured finish with no pits or burrs. Aluminum Oxide is
rougher than glass bead and can be used over and over again. It is one of the most economical
abrasives you can use in any reclaim systems or cabinets. (4/25 Lb. container)
Plastic Grit #40110
Primarily used to strip aluminum and fiberglass. Great for stripping paint, light oxidation and surface
rust. Recommended for use in blast cabinets because it creates very little dust. Works quickly, last a
long time and increases visibility within the cabinet. (10 Lb. container)
Walnut Shells #40112
Walnut shells are recommended for use on “soft” surfaces such as aluminum, glass, wood, and other
areas where no pitting is desired. Leaves a smooth, dull finish. (10 Lb. container)
