Safety Instructions
1.3 Continued
11. Cable strain relief devices are provided for all power cabling. Assure that these
strain relief devices are secured to the frame of the equipment with the hardware
provided prior to energizing the equipment.
12. While safeguards have been provided in this equipment to protect operating
personnel and equipment, ALWAYS CHECK that the proper power source is
connected (voltage, frequency and phase). Check the motors for proper rotation
once the power source has been verified. Sustained improper motor rotation can
damage machine components.
Your Blastrac Blast Unit can be operated on 208/230 volt, single phase, 60-Hertz power
ONLY. Do not attempt to operate this equipment on 50-Hertz power. A 50-Hertz blast
unit is available by contacting Blastrac.
1.4 Safety Ventilation
All abrasive blast equipment must be properly ventilated to be environmentally effective.
This benefits the operator, helps maintain efficiency and minimizes wear.
With all types of dust collectors, keep the filters as clean as possible and dispose of the
dust regularly and safely. Follow all environmental regulations when disposing of the
dust. Many types of dust have chemical and physical properties that can cause fire or
explosion. These hazards are minimized when the dust is removed on a regular basis
as recommended.
