Instructions for Use

If the gun is not shooting abrasive but is shooting air, the hopper is out of abrasive.

If the gun is not shooting abrasive or air, the nozzle is probably clogged. Use channel lock pliers to remove the nozzle and remove the clog. Press the pedal briefly to clear a clog in the hose, then reassemble.
