OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Abrasive Selection:
1. The type of
media
chosen will greatly influence the amount of time needed to
clean a particular surface area.
2. Sandblasting media include silicon carbide, glass bead, walnut shell, brass bead,
and alumina.

become rounder and are less effective. At that point you should replace the tank
