- Make sure all air connections are secure.
- Do Not Operate Over120 PSI.
- Use lower air pressure to clean soft materials 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.

How To Assemble Blast Cabinet
1 - Open cabinet, reach in and screw two max 70 watt rough service lamp into sockets located just inside the cabinet.
2 - 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-to holding device. Plug cabinet into a grounded outlet. The blast cabinet has a 3 pronged grounded plug to guard against electric shock.If any extension cords are used, be sure they are in good condition
3 - Attach air fitting and air supply to the 1/2" fitting behind the safety ball valve.
4 - 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.
