Here are some steps you can follow to learn all you need to know about using a sandblaster.

Hwo To Operate a Sandblaster

The first thing you need to do is assemble your power head components. You need a power head, the nozzle and the siphon air jet. Attach the power head assembly to the gun of the machine. Your next step is to attach the siphon hose to the siphon air jet.

You can then add the items that you are going to sandblast to the inside of the cabinet. You need to ensure that the sandblaster is closed tightly and that the door is secured fully before you turn on the cabinet light and start the sandblaster. You then need to switch on the machine and start sandblasting your items.

Put your hands into the protective gloves and get your foot in position to push the pedal and send the sand into the cabinet. To get the sand to come out and actually blast or smooth the item that you are using, you do need to press the pedal to push out the sand. Then, blast until you are happy with the way that items appear.
