shall empty the gas in the tank and the internal pressure shall be

zero.
Installation and operation:

1. Please check the screws and parts of the machine to see if there is loosening
or collision damage, and if so, please replace the new product or fasten it firmly.

2. Connect the high-pressure pipe between the air compressor and the sand
blasting machine (Fig.2) and open the intake switch (Fig.3). (Note: Before
connecting the air pipe, it is preferable to exclude the sundries in the pipe or
excessive moisture from the pipe to hold the air pipe upward, open the air
source to blow out the sundries in the pipe, and when the air source is closed,
the air pipe can be connected to the machine, so as to avoid the damage of the
pressure-regulating water filter and the spray control. Also, it is recommended
to use the manufacturer’s to install the freezing lower machine to ensure the air
quality and reduce the avoidable fault.)

3. When the sand material is added, it is to be noted that the sand material is
relatively dry, otherwise the fluidity is not good, it will not be able to spray out.

4. Check whether there is rain or other oil-water penetration in the main

sand-blasting cylinder before adding the sand. If any, Please make sure it is
cleared before you can use it.

5. Turn off the intake switch (Fig. 3), open the unloading valve (Figure. 1) and
add the sand slowly into the sand blasting machine.

6. After adding sand, close the unloading valve (Fig. 1), hold the nozzle, align the
workpiece or open space, then turn on the pressurized bucket intake switch (Fig.
3) and inflate the pressurized bucket, start the sandblasting machine. When the
pressurized bucket is inflated, the personnel must wear goggles, because sand
may be blown out of the sand filling port in an instant.

7. Hold the nozzle, turn on the sandblasting air supply pressure switch (Fig. 1,
5), the abrasive flow switch (Fig. 1, 4), see the thickness of sand, adjust the sand
discharge valve (figure 1, 4,when it has installed) and the sand pressure
regulating valve (Fig. 1. 5). When the required amount of sand is reached, the
sand blasting operation can be started. (When sand is too thick, it will not only
waste sand material, but also reduce the processing speed.) Sand valve comes in
many forms: the standard handle is the thickest in the middle, and when the
handle is on both sides, it is closed. If the sand valve is not installed, the sand
thickness can only be adjusted by the measuring force regulating valve. When
adjusting the amount of sand, it is necessary to wait for the change of sand
production after adjustment, and it will take about one second to see the
adjustment of sand production for every meter increase of sandblasting hose.

8. If there are liquid attachments such as oil or water on the surface of the
workpiece before processing, should be removed first so that the sand material
does not stick to the surface of the workpiece and reduce the sandblasting
efficiency, which leads to the trouble of operation. For the sand to be recycled,
there should be no oil or water on the surface of the workpiece, so as to ensure
the smoothness and the quality of the sand blasting.

9. After the sand in the pressurized bucket is sprayed, turn off the abrasive flow
switch (Fig. 1. 4), turn off the air supply pressure switch in the pressurized
bucket (Fig. 1 5), turn off the intake switch (Fig. 1. 3), open the unloading valve
(Fig. 1. 1), add the sand to the pressurized bucket. Then close the unloading
valve (Fig. 1), open the pressurized bucket intake switch (Fig. 1. 3), inflate the
pressurized bucket, and re-sandblasting. When the pressurized bucket is
discharged and inflated, personnel must wear goggles, because sand may be
blown out of the vent and filling port in an instant.

Fault occurrence and elimination:
Possible reason
The sand in the sandblasting bucket
has been used up.
The nozzle is blocked by sundries.
The hose is blocked by sundries and
too much sand.
Fault elimination
After the pressurized bucket is
discharged, re-add the sand.
After shutting down and air
discharged, turn the sandblasting
nozzle sleeve down to check if there
are sundries blockage in the nozzle, if
so, remove the sundries.
(with sand regulator): after shutting
down the machine and air discharged,
first turn the sandblasting nozzle
down, re-inflate the sandblasting
bucket, then open the thrust bucket,
the sand material and sundries in the
hose can be blown out by air pressure.
If it is not valid, the pipe needs to be
tear down to clean or renewed.
(has sand regulator type): after
shutting down the machine and air
discharge, first turn the sandblasting
nozzle sleeve down, turn off the sand
regulator, re-inflate the sandblasting
bucket, then fully opened the thrust
valve, the sand material and sundries
in the hose can be blown out by air
pressure. If it is not valid, the pipe
needs to be tear down to clean or
renewed.
Added wet sand (water or Rain Water
ran into the sandblasting bucket)
caused sand blocking at the mouth of
the sand regulator.
the high pressure air immediately
sends a large amount of water, cause
the sand in the bucket to be wet, or to
inhale water into the sandblasting pipe
through the thrust valve to cause the
pipe wall to be wet and sticky, thus
causing blockage.
Add the sand without filtered so that
the large foreign body enters the
sandblasting bucket and stuck on the
sand regulator, causing blockage and
unable to spray sand.
First turn the nozzle down (or tear the
pipe down ), fully close the thrust
valve, fully open the sand regulator,
fully open the intake valve, so that the
wet sand in the bucket can be blown
out by air pressure. One half barrel of
wet sand is pushed out while the
thrust is instantaneously fully opened
and closed to help clean the wet sand
in the pipe. If it is not valid, only
remove the sand regulator at the
bottom of the sand bucket, remove the
sand, and then lock the sand regulator
back. Then, after drying the sand again,
filter it through the filter screen and
re-add the sand tank.
In addition to the above-mentioned
exclusion operation, it is better to
install a freeze dryer.
Only remove the sand regulator at the
bottom of the sand bucket, remove the
sand, and then lock the sand regulator
back. Then, after drying the sand again,
filter it through the filter screen and
re-add the sand bucket.
