vating the foot pedal.
• Inspect/correct the connection lines.
• Turn the switch until you feel it click into place.
• Wear protective goggles.
• Unscrew tank lid.
• Remove sand.
• Close the uptake tube (blue tube) in the tank (by bending), so
that no air can escape.
• Hold the sandblasting nozzle on the handpiece closed with
the other hand.
• Using a setting of 4 to 6 bar pressure, activate the foot switch
repeatedly in succession.
• Before re-filling with sand, check the tank and sandblasting
material for contamination or moisture. If necessary replace
with new sand.
• Re-fill with sand and secure the tank lid. (Continue sandblast-
ing in the usual manner).
