The supply hose tends to suck a pit out the media funnel so you'll need to stab it back into a sandy/glassy spot or just give the unit a lil bump/tilt to shuffle the media back down. If the gun clogs, press the nozzle *very firmly* into the glove palm ie. plugged, and momentarily "pop" the trigger, it'll thump the clog back out the media supply hose. Good idea to sift then or it'll just clog again. We're not blasting at the glove because that makes holes in them!! | The supply hose tends to suck a pit out the media funnel so you'll need to stab it back into a sandy/glassy spot or just give the unit a lil bump/tilt to shuffle the media back down.

If the hose becomes extremely clogged, it may be necessary to pull the hose out of the side door, straighten it out, and whack it hard with something. | |||
Be aware not all hose barbs/clamps are reliable, they may pop off at 100psi+ so highly recommend eyepro, hearpro maybe less now that it's not next to the big blue compressor, but definitely a respirator because the sealing is not perfect, the tornado thingy and HEPA shopvac aren't foolproof and flapping the door open is messy. | Be aware not all hose barbs/clamps are reliable, they may pop off at 100psi+ so highly recommend eyepro, hearpro maybe less now that it's not next to the big blue compressor, but definitely a respirator because the sealing is not perfect, the tornado thingy and HEPA shopvac aren't foolproof and flapping the door open is messy. | ||
Note that the pink ceramic nozzle wears down and needs to be replaced periodically. The replacement nozzle is from Princess Auto, has the SKU 6320006, and is listed as working with the 6320360 blasting gun. |
