1.1.2
All blast operator(s) and machine (pot) tenders
must be trained in the safe operation of the remote
control system and all blasting accessories. The
operators and all personnel involved with the abrasive
blasting process must know about the hazards
associated with abrasive blasting. Before using the
machine, all personnel involved with the blast machine
operation must read this entire manual, including the
orange cover, and all accessory manuals. Some
accessory manuals that may be used with the remote
controls are shown below. Manuals are available on our
web site at

1.2 Safety
Alerts
1.2.1
Clemco uses safety alert signal words, based
on ANSI Z535.4-1998, to alert the user of a potentially
hazardous situation that may be encountered while
operating this equipment. ANSI's definitions of the
signal words are as follows:
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used
to alert the user of this equipment of
potential personal injury hazards.
Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to
avoid possible injury or death.
CAUTION
Caution used without the safety alert symbol
indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may result in property
damage.
CAUTION
Caution indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may result in
minor or moderate injury.
WARNING
Warning indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
DANGER
D a n g e r i n dicates an imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will result in
death or serious injury.
1.3 General
Description
1.3.1
A remote control system is an OSHA-required
safety device. The control handle, located near the blast
nozzle, is the activator for the remote control system.
When the operator intentionally or unintentionally
removes hand-held pressure from the remote control
handle, the machine deactivates, stopping air and
abrasive flow through the nozzle. The remote control
system “fails to safe”, which means any interruption in
the control-air circuit for reasons such as a break in the
line, the compressor stops running, or the operator drops
the blast hose, the remote controls deactivate the blast
machine.
WARNING
Never modify or substitute remote control parts.
Parts from different manufacturers are not
compatible with Clemco equipment. If ANY part
of the remote control system is altered,
involuntary activation, which may cause serious
injury, can occur.
