Work Piece and

Work Area Set Up

1.Designate a work area that is clean and well‑lit. The work area must not allow access by children or pets to prevent distraction and injury.

2.Route the air hose along a safe route to reach the work area without creating a tripping hazard or exposing the air hose to possible damage. The air hose must be long enough to reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working.

3.There must not be hazardous objects (such as utility lines or foreign objects) nearby that will present a hazard while working.

CAUTION! Prior to sandblasting, protect other people (and property) in the work area from flying debris by providing barriers or shields. Always wear appropriate clothing and safety gear when operating the Abrasive Blast Gun.

General Operating Instructions

1.If possible, place the workpiece inside a sandblast cabinet (not included). Otherwise, isolate the workpiece to make sure no damage can occur to nearby walls, tools, equipment, or other property.

2.Fill the Container (3) with 1 liter of clean, dry blasting media. Walnut Shells (SKU 92155 and 92150)

or aluminum oxide (SKU 99945) are available at Harbor Freight Tools. WARNING! Do not use sand as blasting media as sand may clog blast gun and damage the nozzle. Do not reuse blasting media.

3.Place the Gun Body (1) on top of the Container and turn clockwise until fastened securely.

NOTE: To keep the beads from accidentally spilling out, do not point the Gun Body downward.

4.Connect the compressor’s air hose to the Gun Body. Turn the compressor’s regulator to between

90-145 PSI. WARNING! Do not exceed 145 PSI.

5.Turn on the compressor and grip the Blast Gun firmly with both hands.

NOTE: Test the spray pattern and intensity of the Blast Gun on a piece of scrap material.

6.Aim the Gun Body toward the object that is to be sandblasted. Then squeeze the trigger to turn on the Blast Gun.

7.Adjust the flow of abrasive media by turning the knurled adjustment ring on the nozzle. Turn clockwise to reduce flow and counterclockwise to increase flow.

8.Use the Hook (4) to hang the Blast Gun during use, if desired. WARNING! Do not leave Blast Gun hanging unattended.

9.To refill the Container, release pressure on the trigger. Turn off the air compressor and squeeze the Trigger once again to release any compressed air. Then twist off Container and refill.

10.When finished using the Blast Gun, release pressure on the trigger. Turn off the air compressor. Squeeze the trigger once to release any compressed air.

Disconnect the Blast Gun from its air supply.

NOTE: Always dispose of used abrasive bead media according to local solid waste guidelines.
