Re-latch the door, and recycle the abrasive media you have collected back into the blast cabinet.

	Two types of abrasive material are available: glass beads from recycled bottles, and walnut shells. Glass beads are used to produce a matte finish on metal parts, and they are effective in removing rust. They can also be used to remove the gloss from PLA-printed objects, to ensure better paint adhesion. Walnut shells are for paint removal and polishing on soft metals or plastics. Ask a ~~Ninja~~ for help before exchanging media in the hopper.		Two types of abrasive material are available: glass beads from recycled bottles, and walnut shells.

	ALWAYS use the dust collection system when you're using the blast cabinet. The dust collector on/off switch is a round red button on the top part of the black cylinder. You will hear the vacuum start as soon as the button is pressed, and a red light will be visible in the button. The air hose on the front of the cabinet needs to be connected to the compressed air line mounted on the column in back of the cabinet. Be sure the air supply valve is in the ON position, and that the pressure gauge shows ~100 PSI.		ALWAYS use the dust collection system when you're using the blast cabinet.
