Always keep this shaft clean or it could fail prematurely. Vacuum off excess grit after usage. Avoid over using the grit to the point where it becomes powdery and coats the inside of the blast bag leading to early failure and poor marking. Change your aluminum oxide grit regularly.

Product will contact the trigger; hold down clamp will come down, Easy Etch will fire a short blast of air and grit. This will provide an etched marking on the product.
