What the F108-004 Switch Does

The F108-004 provides ON/OFF electrical control within the blast cabinet system.

Switches are mechanical electrical components and can eventually wear from repeated operation. Internal contacts may deteriorate, terminals can become damaged, or the switching mechanism may become loose or unreliable.

Replacing a worn switch can restore reliable operation without requiring replacement of the complete control assembly.

Common Reasons for Replacement:

• Switch will not turn equipment on or off
• Intermittent electrical operation
• Loose or damaged switch mechanism
• Burned or damaged electrical terminals
• Excessive wear from repeated use
• Physical damage to the switch
• Existing switch is missing
• Refurbishing an older blast cabinet or control system

Cross-Brand Part Number Information

This switch cross-references several OEM part numbers, which is useful when repairing older abrasive blasting equipment where the original manual may identify the same component differently:

• Universal / Uniblast F108-004
• Universal / Uniblast C610
• Empire 534561
• Pauli / P&G 540-280-01
• Pauli / P&G 990-078

Customers working from older Empire, Pauli, P&G, or Universal parts information can use these numbers to help identify the correct switch.

Before Replacing the Switch

Electrical problems aren't always caused by the switch itself. Before installation, inspect the surrounding wiring and terminals for:

• Loose connections
• Burned or overheated terminals
• Broken or damaged wires
• Corrosion
• Damaged insulation
• Loose terminal connectors
• Other obvious electrical damage

Correct any damaged wiring or connections before returning the equipment to service.

Finding Parts for Older Abrasive Blasting Equipment

Older Universal, Uniblast, Empire, and Pauli abrasive blasting equipment can remain productive for decades, but identifying individual electrical and mechanical components can become difficult as machines age.

That's why we include the original manufacturer part number, electrical rating, cross-reference numbers, and exploded diagram item number whenever possible.

For this component, the key identification information is:

Universal / Uniblast F108-004 / C610 – 20 Amp ON/OFF Switch – Diagram Item #14

Also cross-references Empire 534561 and Pauli / P&G 540-280-01 and 990-078.

Important:

This listing is for one Universal Equipment Manufacturing / Uniblast Technologies F108-004 20 Amp ON/OFF Switch, identified as Item #14 in the exploded parts diagram.

Other electrical controls, wiring, hardware, and components shown in the equipment diagram are sold separately unless specifically stated otherwise.

Always verify the original part number, electrical rating, terminal configuration, and application before ordering or installation.

Disconnect the blast cabinet from electrical power and relieve all compressed-air pressure before servicing. Electrical components should be installed according to the equipment manufacturer's wiring information and applicable electrical requirements. Never service energized equipment.
