Husqvarna Blastrac 1-8DM 8" Walk-Behind Shot Blaster – 240V Single Phase
Husqvarna 970691602 / 970 69 16-02 is the 240 volt version of the Blastrac 1-8DM compact walk-behind shot blaster. This machine is designed for smaller surface preparation jobs including garage floors, pool decks, balconies, tight industrial areas, coating removal, overlay prep, and decorative concrete work.
The 1-8DM is manually pushed, compact, and easy to control, while still offering an 8.75" blast pattern and a heavy-duty blast wheel drive system. The 240V model provides a stronger 3 HP motor than the 120V version, making it the preferred choice when faster production is required.
Best Uses
- Residential garage floor surface prep
- Pool decks and patios
- Small industrial floors
- Balconies and tight work areas
- Concrete prep before coatings, overlays, sealers, and flooring

- Compact size: easier to transport and maneuver on small jobs.
- Dry process: no water or chemicals required.
- Reusable abrasive: shot is recycled through the machine during operation.
