Introduction
Cyclone abrasive blast cabinets are designed for cleaning and finishing with dry blast materials such as glass beads, aluminum oxide, blasting garnet. walnut shells, silicon carbide and sands. The system is sealed at all openings, such window. The blast system will produce several different finishes, depending on the type of blasting material and the air pressure used.
Precautionary Check List
* Always close cabinet doors before blasting.
* Make sure all air connections are secure.
* Do Not Operate Over120 PSI.
* Use lower air pressure to clean soft matals and delicate parts.
* Always keep the blast stream moving in a circular or horizontal motion. Any blast concentrated in one area will result in pitting and uneven blast surfaces.
* Do NOT USE STEEL SHOT IN THIS BLAST CABINET! This cabinet is not designed for or set up for steel shot. Use of steel shot in this blast unit will void the wannanty and possibly injury the operator!

How To Assemble and Install Blast Cabinet
- Open cabinet, reach in and screw two max 70 watt rough service lamp into sockets located just inside the cabinet.
- install the dust collection system according to manufacturers directions. The dust system hose will fit into the 2 1/4" hole found on the upper left hand side of blast unit. It just slides in-uo holding device. Plug cabinet into a grounded outlet. The blast cabinet has a 3 pronged grounded plug to guard against electric shock. If only 2 pronged receptacle is available, a ground adapter can be used. Make sure the green lead from the adapter is properly attached to a grounded wire system.
If any extension cords are used, be sure they are in good condition,
Note: The Canadian Electrical Code prohibits the use of 3 pronged adapters,
- Attach air fitting and air supply to the 1/2" fitting behind the safety ball valve.
- Pour blast media through the metal screen on the inside of cabinet into the blast hopper. We suggest 10-25 lbs. of blast material. Overfilling will create problems with the material properly flowing to the gun system.
