<span style="color:red">'''''Here because of the stickers on the cabinet regarding changing the media? Read the Media section below!'''''</span>
== Information ==
== Information ==
The cabinet is located behind the curtain near the Temporary Project Area. It acts as a barrier for welding station: two
== Interior Dimensions ==
58" wide, 28" deep, 34-1/2" high
== Media ==
These are the types of media available to use:
* Soda (Very fine)
* Pulverized glass (medium)
* Walnut shells (rough)
* Aluminum Oxide (really rough)
If you are authorized to use the cabinet, you may change the media to fit your needs. The procedure is as follows:
=== Media changing procedures ===
<span style="color:red">'''''Warning! Remove watches or jewelry you don't want to get scratched up! Also, absolutely wear a respirator to avoid breathing in any of the media!'''''</span>
# Check the sticker on the front of the cabinet to see what media is loaded. If it's not what you need, proceed to step 2.
# Make sure the bucket labeled with the same media as what's in the cabinet is empty, clean and dry.
# Place the bucket under the hopper at the bottom of the cabinet.
# Pull down on the door, it's on a heavy spring and will snap back, you have to hold it. The media will fall into the bucket.
# Make sure the cabinet is free as possible of the old media, mixing and matching media is a no-no.
# Remove the bucket from under the cabinet. ''It will be quite heavy.''
# Put the lid on the bucket!
# Find the bucket of media you want to use, open doors to the cabinet and pour the contents into the cabinet via the grate.
# '''''Label what media is currently loaded, the date, and who loaded it.'''''
# Check the floor and clean up any spilled media. This stuff can be ''very'' slippery, and the person most likely to fall will be you.
# Enjoy!
== Use ==
'''''DO NOT POINT THE GUN AT THE GLASS!'''''
* Ensure the vacuum is plugged into the switched outlet (top left of unit) before operating.
* Do not recycle blasting media. Only add fresh media to the hopper.
* Only use approved blasting media.
* Ensure both doors are fully secured before operation.
* Use a respirator while handling media or cleaning vacuum filter.
* Do not point gun at gloves. Use screen tray for parts too small to safely hold.
'''''SERIOUSLY, DO NOT POINT THE GUN AT THE GLASS!'''''
== Tips-n-Tricks ==
* If the gun does not seem to be performing well, try pressing it right against a piece of cardboard and blowing it until the media can be seen coming from the grill near the front of the machine; this clears the line
* Depending on the thickness of the material you're trying to remove, you're potentially in for a long time; grab a stool to sit or lean against and take breaks as bending over can really hurt the back after awhile
