To use the sandblast attachment,
connect the sandblasting lance to the
trigger gun, hold the trigger gun in your
left hand insert the lance and push it in all
the way into the connector on the trigger
gun and turn it clockwise 60° until it locks
in place. Once the sandblasting lance is
attached, place the sandblasting probe
into the container of sand. (Fig. 9) Make
sure that when using the sandblasting
lance, the delivery hose is facing up as in
the illustration below. If the hose is facing
downward, water will enter the tool,
wetting the sand and clogging the
sandblasting lance. If this happens, you
must let the sand and the sandblasting
lance dry thoroughly before using again.
To remove the sandblasting lance, push
down on the attachment and turn
counter-clockwise 60° and then pull out.
Make sure that the lance is securely
locked in place before use.
To begin sandblasting, disengage
handgrip safety and pull trigger as you
would for pressure washing with water. It
is recommended that a trial work-piece
be used in order to familiarize the user
with the operation and effectiveness of
the sandblast attachment.
Note: Use either clean, dry sand or
glass bead no larger than grit 10 .
When you wish to stop using the
pressure washer temporarily, make
sure that the safety lock has been
engaged to avoid any accidental
operation. (Fig. 6)
Do NOT use the sandblasting kit on
vinyl siding or soft materials. Do
NOT
use on wood decks. Sandblasting will
damage these surfaces.
IMPORTANT: Insert the sandblasting
probe into sand leaving top at least 2-
inches above the sand. If the probe is
totally submerged, the unit will not
draw sand.
DANGER
Always wear protective clothing and
safety goggles when using the
sandblasting kit.
Never point the sandblasting lance at
people or animals.
