U@;ECEVb%Abrasive blasting with sand containing
crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory
disease. Exposure to crystalline silica may cause
silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer and death.
Exposure to aluminum oxide (a dust generated from
material removing processes) can result in eye, skin
and breathing irritation. Always use a NIOSH (National
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) approved
respirator and safety goggles. Avoid skin exposure.
Proper ventilation in the work area is required. Read
and understand the 10 recommended measures below
to reduce crystalline silica exposures in the workplace
and prevent silicosis and silicosis related deaths.

1. Prohibit silica sand (or other substances
containing more than 1% crystalline silica)
as an abrasive blasting material and
substitute less hazardous materials.
2. Conduct air monitoring to measure
worker exposures.
3. Use containment methods such as blast-cleaning
machines and cabinets to control the hazard
and protect adjacent workers from exposure.
4. Practice good personal hygiene to avoid
unnecessary exposure to silica dust.
5. Wear washable or disposable protective clothes
at the work site. Shower and change into clean
clothes before leaving the work site to prevent
contamination of cars, homes and other work areas.
6. Use respiratory protection when source controls
cannot keep silica exposures below the NIOSH REL.
7. Provide periodic medical examinations for all
workers who may be exposed to crystalline silica.
8. Post signs to warn workers about the hazard and to
inform them about required protective equipment.
9. Provide workers with training that includes
information about health effects, work practices
and protective equipment for crystalline silica.
10. Report all cases of silicosis to State health
departments and to OSHA or the Mine Safety
and Health Administration (MSHA).

This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-
term exposure to vibration may cause temporary
or permanent physical injury, particularly to
the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce
the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for
an extended period should first be examined
by a doctor and then have regular medical
check-ups to ensure medical problems are not
being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant
women or people who have impaired blood
circulation to the hand, past hand injuries,
nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud's
Disease should not use this tool. If you feel
any symptoms related to vibration (such as
tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers),
seek medical advice as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces
the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Use tools with the lowest vibration
when there is a choice.
4. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
5. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping
safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
6. To reduce vibration, maintain
tool as explained in this manual.
If abnormal vibration occurs, stop immediately.

E&$*- An oiler system should not be used
with this tool. The oil will mix with the material
being propelled, causing tool to clog.
E&$*- This air tool may be shipped with a protective plug
covering the air inlet. Remove this plug before set up.
2. Attach an air hose to the compressor's air outlet.
Connect the air hose to the air inlet of the tool.
Other components, such as a coupler plug
and quick coupler, will make operation
more efficient, but are not required.

Such a coupler contains an air valve that will
allow the air tool to retain pressure and operate
accidentally after the air supply is disconnected.
E&$*-%Air flow, and therefore tool performance, can
be hindered by undersized air supply components.
The air hose must be long enough to reach
the work area with enough extra length to
allow free movement while working.
3. Turn the tool's throttle or switch to the off position;
refer to Operation section for description of controls.
4. Close the in-line shutoff valve between
the compressor and the tool.
5. Turn on the air compressor according to
the manufacturer's directions and allow it
to build up pressure until it cycles off.
6. Adjust the air compressor's output regulator
so that the air output is enough to properly
power the tool, but the output will not exceed
the tool's maximum air pressure at any time.
Adjust the pressure gradually, while checking the
air output gauge to set the right pressure range.
7. Inspect the air connections for leaks.
Repair any leaks found.
8. If the tool will not be used at this time, turn off
and detach the air supply, safely discharge
any residual air pressure, and release
the throttle and/or turn the switch to its off
position to prevent accidental operation.
E&$*- Residual air pressure should not be present
after the tool is disconnected from the air supply.
However, it is a good safety measure to attempt to
discharge the tool in a safe fashion after disconnecting
to ensure that the tool is disconnected and not powered.

4. Close the door and secure the Door Latches.
5. Set the compressor′s air pressure
between 90 and 100 PSI.
6. Place your hands into the Gloves inside the
Cabinet. Make sure your fingers are in the
proper positions and that you can easily
move your hands and grip objects.
7. Hold the workpiece in one hand, positioning your
fingers so that the glove is not in the way of the
area you will be blasting. While working, reposition
your grip as needed to ensure that all areas of the
workpiece will be contacted with the blast material.
8. Grip the Blasting Gun with the other hand and
point the nozzle at the bottom of the Cabinet.
9. Squeeze the trigger.
10. Check that the abrasive media is flowing
through the suction hose with no leaks. Release
the trigger and correct any leaks if needed.
Otherwise begin blasting the workpiece.
U@;ECEVb Do not aim the nozzle at your fingers or
the Blast Gloves. If Gloves are punctured or you feel
air blowing in the Glove, replace them immediately.
Do not use a damaged or punctured Glove.
11. If the tool requires more force to accomplish
the task, verify that the tool receives sufficient,
unobstructed airflow (CFM) and increase the
pressure (PSI) output of the regulator up to the
maximum air pressure rating of this tool.

5,\"5'5%,"(%/(*##'(*%(,$"831
If the tool still does not have sufficient force
at maximum pressure and sufficient airflow,
then a larger tool may be required.
12. When finished, or to check the
progress of your blasting:
a. Release the trigger, lay the workpiece
on the Grate of the Cabinet and remove
your hands from the gloves.
b. Turn off the compressor and dust
collection system (if equipped). Wait for
the air inside the Cabinet to clear.
c. Open the Cabinet door and remove
the workpiece. If the workpiece needs
more blasting, resume from step 4
of these operating instructions.
13. To prevent accidents, release the trigger, detach
the air supply, then squeeze and release the
trigger once more to safely discharge any residual
air pressure in the tool. Empty the Hopper of
blast media (see User-Maintenance Instructions
section on page 12). Clean external surfaces
of the tool with a clean, dry cloth. Then store the
tool indoors out of children's reach.

E&$*- These procedures are in addition to the regular checks and maintenance
explained as part of the regular operation of the air-operated tool.
1. X,"7>%K%@"(%?'//7>%D,"8$*8,84*-%
Every day, maintain the air supply according
to the component manufacturers' instructions.
Drain the moisture filter regularly.
Performing routine air supply maintenance
will allow the tool to operate more safely
and will also reduce wear on the tool.
2. After use, empty the Hopper of blast media:
T@FACSEb Wear ANSI-approved Safety
Goggles and NIOSH-approved dust mask/
respirator when emptying the abrasive media.
a. Place a container (sold separately),
which is large enough to hold all the blast
media, under the mouth of the Hopper.
b. Turn the Hopper Hook on the Hopper
Square to open the Hopper and allow all the
abrasive media to flow into the container.
c. Close the Hopper Square.
