Install an in-line shutoff valve to allow immediate control over the air supply in an emergency, even if a hose is ruptured. This unit does not otherwise have its own input pressure regulator.
I can say right off that open room sand blasting does a nice job of cleaning up blistered paint and rust, but it is a very dirty job. PRESSURIZED SANDBLASTER ASSEMBLY and OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 3491 Mission Oaks Blvd. I have a 2-hp 20-gallon compressor that can supply 9.0-scfm @ 45-psi or 7.5-scfm at 90-psi. Do not allow pressure to exceed 125 PSI. Working CFM: 6 to 25 It is necessary to keep the blasting media dry to prevent clogging. A good approach to media control is to open the air control valve, then open the nozzle control valve to get the blast air flowing, then open the media control valve slowly until you have a minimal amount of media coming out of the blast nozzle.
Wheels and Foot See Figure 8. Empty the Tank, and clean external surfaces of the Soda Blaster with clean, dry cloth.
I haven't found a user manual or parts list yet, but this unit is nearly identical to a Central Pneumatic pressurized sand blaster #38375 from Harbor Freight. 
Parts may not be interchangeable. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury. Always close the media control valve on the bottom of the tank before closing the air control valve. Water Trap Refer to Figure 2. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the Soda Blaster. If abnormal vibration occurs, stop immediately. The shop vac will clean a smooth floor in a single pass. Shower and change into clean clothes before leaving the work site to prevent contamination of cars, homes and other work areas. Do not smoke during use. One hour with the shop vac and a few paper towels had it almost back to just normally dusty and acceptable for more restoration work. Harbor Freight Tools Co. makes every effort to assure that its products meet high quality and durability standards, and warrants to the original purchaser that this product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for the period of 90 days from the date of purchase. hVn8>X$"(nHv?U@V6g }(G3:e!V5pWXE$bHCXN`PAVI"d 9cg:Y?)&gF#u8fJj%XVtq gY 5.t:$tCrZM X 01qWn5tsRNiOqG3:HAgeQO&zI !/gFw &r&OW_WYMdI6O CS BE|5v'"obeUv[?4ppc>r[H7IfYIp%~`;]Jn h1q=>[s&!8PZmuz|phZ#>iegI!KxvX THE MANUFACTURER AND/OR DISTRIBUTOR HAS PROVIDED THE PARTS LIST AND ASSEMBLY DIAGRAM IN THIS MANUAL AS A REFERENCE TOOL ONLY.

There must not be hazardous objects (such as utility lines or foreign objects) nearby that will present a hazard while working. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. Otherwise, isolate the workpiece to make sure no damage can occur to nearby personal property. The pipe then splits with one pipe going to pressurize the media tank. For gross removal of paint and rust you may want maximum pressure on the blaster (do not exceed 125 psi safe pressure limit). If you have a big job to do and want continuous trigger time, you would need at least a 5-hp compressor to give about 19-scfm @ 90-psi.
If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible. It will work with a smaller compressor, but with a shortened duty cycle. When I finally take the body off the car for underbody painting there will be more grit on the heater shelf, under and around the engine, and on the suspension parts.

Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed only by a qualified technician.To Prevent Serious Injury From Accidental Operation: Turn Off The Soda Blaster, Detach The Air Supply, Safely Discharge Any Residual Air Pressure In The Soda Blaster, And Release The Throttle And/or Turn The Switch To Its Off Position Before Performing Any Inspection, Maintenance, Or Cleaning Procedures. Speed of the media particles can be 80% to 90% of the velocity of the air blasting through the nozzle, so it can be very aggressive when held close up with high pressure. If that gets the hose clear you can turn the blast head around and use the air pressure to back flush the blast head (with the head valve open), then reassemble the head to hose and reinstall the nozzle. Turn on the compressor and set the regulator to the pressure recommended for this Soda Blaster (90 PSI). As such it will work with 50%-60% duty cycle with my compressor, giving one minute of trigger time
To Prevent Serious Injury From Soda Blaster Failure: Do Not Use Damaged Equipment. Cautions and Warnings first:
Read and head all warning and safety notes on the side of the blaster tank. You MUST relieve tank pressure completely before removing the tank cap. 11. Wear washable or disposable protective clothes at the work site. Adjust the pressure gradually, while checking the air output gauge to set the right pressure range. We will return repaired products at our expense, but if we determine there is no defect, or that the defect resulted from causes not within the scope of our warranty, then you must bear the cost of returning the product. Turn on the air compressor according to the manufacturers directions and allow it to build up pressure until it cycles off.
Do not carry tools by the cord.
