Getting To Know the Sand Etch ® Sandblasting System Nozzle - Part# 70-9109 - The nozzle is the only part of the Sand Etch sandblaster that is replaceable. To replace, grasp the nozzle in your finger tips and pull it straight out of the Sand Etch® housing. It is metal lined to ensure long use. Housing - This is referred to throughout the booklet as the Sand Etch® housing. Actuator Button - This button is depressed to release the flow of abrasive grit and air. Hold the Sand Etch® sandblaster in an upright position pointing away from you. Pickup Tube - Be sure the pickup tube is pushed firmly into the housing to draw the abrasive grit up into the nozzle. Abrasive Grit - Your Sand Etch® System includes one 8 ounce jar of abrasive grit to get you started. Jar must be A B C D refilled to the top of the label periodically for the best etching results. Abrasive Grit refills are available in a 12 ounce size. Part# 70-9110. Propellant - Your Sand Etch® System also includes a 6 ounce can of non-flammable, environmentally safe propellant. Always hold the propellant can in vertical upright position. Sand Etch® Propellant refills are available in 6 ounce size. Part# 70-9101. E F IMPORTANT: After continuous use the can may become so cold that it restricts the flow of gas through the Sand Etch® housing. It is recommended to use short spraying bursts while etching your project. You can cure the problem by allowing the can sit for several minutes to warm up or by having a second can of propellant available to switch off when the can gets too cold to function. E F D C C A B Safety Precautions Protective Eyewear - Safety glasses or protective goggles must always be worn while operating the Sand Etch® system. These should completely cover your eyes. Prescription glasses and reading glasses are not sufficient protection but can be worn under your protective eyewear. Face Mask - We highly recomend using a face mask. Inexpensive disposable face masks are available at most hardware stores. Gloves - Because they are lightweight, garden gloves made of canvas backed rubber generally allow sufficient dexterity for working and will protect your hands from abrasive spray and airborne glass particles. It is also advisable not to wear any jewelry while operating the Sand Etch® system as these are all made of materials that are easily etched. #99-9320 Instruction Manual
