  • Check if the hopper has sufficient abrasive media.
  • Ensure the blasting gun nozzle is not clogged.
  • Verify adequate air pressure from the compressor.
• Low Blasting Pressure:
  • Confirm air compressor is set to 40-80 PSI.
  • Inspect air lines for leaks or kinks.
  • Check for worn nozzles; replace if necessary.
• Poor Visibility Inside Cabinet:
