Commissioning
4.1 Setting up and Connecting
the Unit
1. Remove the foot switch from its shipping location
in the blasting chamber.
2. Connect the foot switch to the sandblasting unit
(red + yellow). Make sure to both pneumatic
hoses are fully inserted up to their stops (Fig. 1).
3. Connect the compressed air supply to the sand-
blasting unit. To do this, loosen the screw-on air
coupling on the unit (Fig. 2).
4. Push the screw-on coupling over the supplied blue
compressed air hose (Fig. 3).
5. Connect the compressed air hose to the unit and
tighten the coupling sleeve (Fig. 4a).
6. Connect the compressed air hose to the com-
pressed air supply (Fig. 4b).

7. Do not bend or kink the hoses (Fig. 5)!
8. Connect the dust extraction hose to the extraction
tube (Fig. 6).
Do not connect the unit to the
mains power supply yet!
4.2 Starting the Unit
1. Connect the mains power cord to the sandblasting
unit (Fig. 10), then plug the power cord into the
wall outlet (Fig. 11).
2. Switch the unit on (Fig. 12).
4.3 Adjusting the Operating
Pressure
1. Select the sandblasting tank (Fig. 13)
>>> only on the 2-tanks version.
2. Adjust a blasting pressure of 1-6 bar [14.5–87
psi] (Fig. 14). The pressure is displayed on the
manometer (Fig. 14a). The pressure adjustment
applies to all sandblasting tanks (on the 2-tanks
version).
4.4 Filling the Sandblasting
Tanks
Never press the foot switch during filling.
Before closing the tank, be sure to clean the
threads in the cover and the tank to remove
any abrasive residue.
Even though the manometer may indicate
pressure, the sandblasting tanks are only
under pressure if the foot switch is engaged.
1. Unscrew the tank cover (Fig. 15).
2. Add abrasive up to the maximum fill level (the
point where the tank jacket thickens just below the
thread) (Fig. 16 + 17). Make sure the abrasive be-
ing used is compatible with the sandblasting tank.
3. Reinstall the tank cover (Fig. 18).
Caution: Do not cross-thread the cover.
Always use only clean, dry abrasive of the appropri-
ate grain size (refer to the accessories).
The sandblasting unit is now operational.
5. Cleaning / Maintenance
Switch off machine and pull plug out before
starting cleaning and maintenance work!
5.1 Cleaning the Interior
•
Use only solvent-free cleansers
(e.g., soapy water).
•
Remove the grate and vacuum the blasting cham-
ber (Fig. 19 + 20).
