WARNING!
Disconnecting hose while Unit is under pressure could cause serious injury
or death. Use safety lock pins and safety cables in all coupling connections
to help prevent hose couplings from accidental disconnection.
If twist-on type air hose couplings are used, they must be secured by
safety lock pins or wires to prevent accidental disconnection while under
pressure. Hose disconnection while under pressure could cause serious
injury.
PRESSURE BLASTER SAFETY PROCEDURES
CAUTION: READ THESE SAFETY PROCEDURES IN THEIR
ENTIRETY-PARTS OF THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ARE WITHIN
THESE WARNINGS.
These procedures are not intended to be exhaustive due to the many
variables in the abrasive blasting field. Therefore, we INSIST that the
hands, ears, mouth, nose and eyes be covered with appropriate safety
protection at all times.
1. Do not place fingers, any body parts or any components in the filler plug
seal area when the blast machine is being pressurized.Failure to keep
body parts from the filler plug area will result in serious injury.
2. Do not exceed maximum working pressure of 125 PSI. Failure to keep
maximum working pressure below 125 PSI can cause the blast machine to
burst,causing death or serious injury.
3. Everyone in the blast area including the equipment operator should
correctly use and maintain a NIOSH-approved air-supplied respirator, even
after blasting has ceased. Harmful dust can remain suspended in the air for
long periods of time after blasting has ceased causing injury or death.
4. Before using the pressure blaster: Put on safety glasses, gloves, and
NIOSH-approved. respirator. Always wear these protective items when
operating and while servicing your abrasive blaster. While a protective
hood is provided to help protect you from flying part as you use the
machine, the hood does not provide protection from air borne particles. A
well maintained air supplied blasting respirator must be used by anyone
