To set up the Sealey SB997 Shot Blaster, begin by assembling the unit according to the manual. Attach the air hose to the compressor and blaster, ensuring all connections are secure. Fill the blaster with the recommended media and adjust the pressure settings based on the surface you will be working on.
The Sealey SB997 is compatible with a variety of abrasive media, including glass beads, aluminum oxide, and silicon carbide. Choose the media based on the material you are blasting and the desired finish.
If you experience low blasting pressure, check for air leaks in hoses and connections. Ensure the compressor is providing adequate pressure and that the nozzle is not clogged. Also, verify that the abrasive media is dry and not compacted.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the nozzle and hose to prevent clogs, inspecting seals and hoses for wear, and checking the air filter and moisture trap. Replace worn parts as needed and lubricate moving parts to reduce friction.
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves, goggles, and a respirator. Operate the blaster in a well-ventilated area and follow all safety guidelines outlined in the user manual.
If the blaster clogs, turn off the air supply and carefully disassemble the nozzle and hose to clear any blockages. Check the media for moisture or contamination and ensure it is free-flowing before resuming work.
The Sealey SB997 is designed for dry blasting applications. Using it for wet blasting may damage the equipment and void the warranty. Consider using equipment specifically designed for wet blasting if needed.
Adjust the pressure settings by using the regulator on your air supply system. Refer to the manual for the recommended pressure settings based on the media and material you are working with to ensure effective blasting.
After use, clean the blaster thoroughly and remove any media. Store it in a dry, cool place to prevent rust and damage. Cover the unit to protect it from dust and moisture.
Using a moisture trap is crucial to prevent wet media, which can clump and clog the blaster. Moisture in the air supply can also cause rust and damage to the equipment over time.
