coupling to the unit, make sure that the

water intake filter is inside the water

intake connector on the unit.

hose or pump. Continue to press on

the trigger switch until you get a

constant flow of water coming out of

the trigger gun. Allow water to flow

for 30 seconds.

5. Once this is accomplished, stop

pressing the trigger switch. Engage

the safety lock on the trigger.

6. Ensure that the "On/Off" switch, at

the rear of the unit, is on the "Off"

appliance unattended during the

standby for more than 5 minutes.

Contrarily, for the safety of the

appliance it is necessary to re-turn the

On/Off switch to the “Off” position.

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)

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.
