A95 Power

Your A95 8 Inch Manual Shot Blaster doesn’t take much to power. This shot blaster is powered by 110 V power, ideally pulling around 17 amps. Make an easy adjustment to limit that power as to not blow a breaker on a 15A power supply.

Use a 20A to 15A Adapter to plug your A95 in to a 15A power source. Adjust this screw to limit the power the machine requires.

Read your Operator’s Manual and consult your on-site electrician with any questions.

More tooling and more options means the right tooling for every job.

For use on your Helix or 8274-4 Planetary Grinders

The Helix is a 16″ Planetary Grinder. The Helix is powered by 110-volt electricity, making power easy to find. The Helix® pulls around 12 amps. That means you can hook it up to a 15 amp breaker without any worries!

WAIT! Before you run your A95 Shot Blaster, watch this video to make sure you’re set up for success.

The time has come! You have your machine in hand, you’ve got a job lined up, and you’re ready to go. But there’s a few things to take care of first.

Rear Axle

When you take delivery of your shot blaster, it’s a good idea to mark your rear axle. Because shot blasters need air to function properly, keep an eye on the adjustable rear axle height for proper air movement, and make adjustments if needed.

Charge the Magnets

Charging the magnets is the first step to ready your shot blaster for use once you’re on the job. Pour shot on the ground and run your shot blaster over the pile of shot. A curtain of shot is created around the blast path opening that prevents shot from flying out while allowing proper air movement.

Fill with Shot

Now it’s time to fill your shot blaster with shot. Open the shot hopper and pour shot in through the screen until the top of the shot is just below the bottom of the screen. Overfilling it will decrease air movement and impact your machine’s function.

With shot in your machine, charged magnets, and an aligned rear axle, you’re almost ready to go.

Connecting to Dust Collector and Power

The final steps are the easiest. Connect your dust collector hose to the back of the A95 shot hopper. Plug your A95 in to 110-volt power (preferably 20 Amp, but 15 Amp will do with the right connector). Connect your A95 shot blaster and DL2000 dust collector to separate breakers. The A95 will pull up to 17 amps. Connecting the dust collector to an outlet on the same breaker will trip the breaker so be sure these machines have separate power sources

Now you’re ready to run your A95 shot blaster.

Helix is an easy to use grinder. Use the many controls on the handle and the switch on the motor to control everything you need. Get professional results with the easy to use machine.

Is the A95 right for me? Is a different shot blaster a better option? Do I need a grinder instead of a shot blaster? We can’t answer those questions for you, but we’re happy to share our knowledge to help you make the best decision for you and your business.
