SBCN Abrasive Blast Cabinet Vertical Assembly & Operating Instructions
7
When using your abrasive blast cabinet, a 5 HP compressor is recommended with a fine grade of abrasive.
Open the Blast Cabinet Window and fill the cabinet with fine abrasive material. Use about 10 pounds.
The Sand will feed from the air tube. The air hose is attached to the base of the gun. Connect the air
compressor. Set the compressor pressure regulator to 80 PSI. Do not exceed 80 PSI.
Open the cabinet window and place the work piece in the center. Close the window securely. Insert your
hands into the gloves. Be certain your fingers are properly positioned and you can move your hands easily
and grip the work piece comfortably.
Point the nozzle and operate the gun to be certain that the blaster is working correctly. Make certain there
is no leaks. Hold the work piece, and position your fingers so that the glove is not in the way of the work piece.
Reposition the work piece as needed in order to access the complete surface area.
Use a circular motion or side-to-side motion, and the nozzle should be 2 inches away from the work piece.
Once the work piece is completed, remove your hands from the gloves & turn the blaster and compressor off.
Dirt and water in the air supply are major causes of pneumatic tool wear. Use a filter/oiler for better
performance & longer life of the tool. The filler must have adequate flow capacity of r the specific application.
MAINTENANCE
Keep your abrasive blaster clean, and protect it from damage.
Check for damaged parts before and after use. Replace any parts which appear worn. Call customer service
for replacement parts if needed. After 10-12 hours of blasting time, the nozzle should be checked. If it shows
uneven wear it should be turned 1/4 turn every 10 hours of use.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If abrasive media doesn’t fire from the Abrasive Gun, make sure that you are using the right size Ceramic
Nozzle for your abrasive.
If not enough abrasive media is coming from the Abrasive Gun, check the level of abrasive in the Cabinet
Funnel. If the level is too low, add additional abrasive.
If the light does not work, check to make certain that the electrical plug is plugged into an outlet and that the
Switch is ON.
If the dust collector has insufficient air movement/vacuum, check to make sure that the Intake Vent Cover is
off when using a dust collector.
