■

Use only materials that are suited for use in the
compressed air sandblaster gun . Do not
use quartz sand. This can lead to a dangerous
build-up of silicosis-inducing dust.

■

Take steps to ensure that others are not incon-
venienced (dust formation).

■

Ensure that the blasting medium is collected so
that it can be disposed of in an environmentally
friendly manner.

■

Do not remove any type plates. These contain
important information for the safe operation of
the appliance.

■

If you are inexperienced with the appliance,
seek training in how to use it safely.

WARNING! TOXIC DUST!

►

Working with harmful/toxic dusts results in
health hazards for the person operating the
appliance and for other persons in the area.

Operation

Connecting the compressed air supply

NOTE

►

The compressed air sandblaster gun may
only be operated on cleaned, condensate-
and oil-free compressed air and may not
exceed the maximum operating pressure of
6.3 bar at the appliance.
To ensure that you can regulate the air pres-
sure, the compressed air source should be
equipped with a (ﬁ lter) pressure reducer.

♦

Connect the compressed air sandblaster gun
to a suitable compressed air source by attaching
the quick-connect coupling of the supply hose to
the nipple on the sandblaster gun .
The connection locks automatically.

NOTE

►

Ensure that the control dial is set to "0"
before connecting the appliance to the com-
pressed air source.

Filling the blasting medium container

CAUTION!

►

Before you open the screw cap on the
blasting medium container , or make any
other settings, the connection to the com-
pressed air hose must be disconnected and
all pressure completely discharged.

■

Use only suitable blasting medium for your
sandblasting work.

NOTE

►

We recommend using a blasting medium
(ground blast furnace slag) with a grain size
of 0.2 mm–0.8 mm and which has been
shown not to cause silicosis.

■

Please ensure that the blasting medium is
totally dry and not too coarse-grained.

NOTE

►

The maximum grain size is 0.8 mm!

■

Open the screw cap on the blasting medium
container by turning it anti-clockwise.

■

Fill the required amount of blasting medium
into the blasting medium container .

■

Ensure that you do not exceed the maximum ﬁ ll
level for the container of 900 ml.

■

Afterwards, close the screw cap on the blast-
ing medium container by turning it clockwise.

NOTE REGARDING THE GRAIN SIZE OF
THE BLASTING MEDIUM

►

The larger/coarser the grain size of the blasting
medium used, the coarser the dirt that can be
removed using it. The supplied material, on
the other hand, is ﬁ ne and thus more suitable
for the removal of items such as paint or rust
ﬁ lm. The ﬁ ne material also causes less dam-
age to the surfaces being treated, meaning a
choice can be made regarding these.
For coarse rust, for example, it is best to use
a coarse-grained blasting medium which you
can order online (see Chapter "Importer") or
in any good specialist retailer. Please observe
the guidelines regarding maximum grain size.
