Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT
SAFETY INFORMATION section at the
beginning of this manual including
all text under subheadings therein
before set up or use of this product.

a protective plug covering the air inlet.
Remove this plug before set up.
Air Supply Setup
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY
FROM EXPLOSION:
Use only clean, dry, regulated, compressed
air to power this tool. Do not use oxygen,
carbon dioxide, combustible gases, or any other
bottled gas as a power source for this tool.
1. To attach a grit supply hose - 1/4 IN - 18 NPT
(not included) to the Abrasive Blast Gun, wrap
approximately 3” of pipe thread sealer tape (not
included) around the male threads at the end of
the grit supply hose. Then, rmly tighten the grit
supply hose onto the Air Inlet of the Blast Gun.
2. Incorporate a lter, regulator with pressure gauge,
oiler, in-line shutoff valve, and quick coupler for
best service, as shown on Figure A on page 6
and Figure B on page 7. An in-line shutoff
ball valve is an important safety device because
it controls the air supply even if the air hose
is ruptured. The shutoff valve should be a
ball valve because it can be closed quickly.
Note: If an automatic oiler system is not used,
add a few drops of Pneumatic Tool Oil to the
airline connection before operation. Add a few
more drops after each hour of continual use.
3. Attach an air hose to the compressor’s air outlet.
Connect the air hose to the air inlet of the tool.
Other components, such as a coupler plug
and quick coupler, will make operation
more efcient, but are not required.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY
FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:
Do not install a female quick coupler on the tool.
Such a coupler contains an air valve that will
allow the air tool to retain pressure and operate
accidentally after the air supply is disconnected.
Note: Air ow, and therefore tool performance, can
be hindered by undersized air supply components.
4. The air hose must be long enough to reach
the work area with enough extra length to
allow free movement while working.
5. Close the in-line shutoff valve between
the compressor and the tool.
6. Turn on the air compressor according to
the manufacturer’s directions and allow it
to build up pressure until it cycles off.
7. Adjust the air compressor’s output regulator so
that the air output is enough to properly power
the tool, but the output will not exceed the tool’s
maximum air pressure at any time. Adjust
the pressure gradually, while checking the air
output gauge to set the right pressure range.
8. Inspect the air connections for leaks.
Repair any leaks found.
9. If the tool will not be used at this time, turn off and
detach the air supply and safely discharge any
residual air pressure to prevent accidental operation.
Note: Residual air pressure should not be present after
the tool is disconnected from the air supply. However, it
is a good safety measure to attempt to discharge the tool
in a safe fashion after disconnecting to ensure that the
tool is disconnected and unpowered.
