TLR-50 PNEUMATIC REMOTE CONTROLS 

Page 4 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.1.4 

Check to make sure that the remote control 

handle lever is in the up (no blast) position, and that the 
handle lever and safety lock move freely. 

 

WARNING 

All persons except for the machine tender must 
stay clear of the blast machine. The blast 
operator could pressurize or depressurize the 
machine at any time. The noise generated by 
the sudden release of compressed air when the 
machine is pressurized or depressurized, may 
startle bystanders, and could vent abrasive 
under pressure. Either condition could result in 
injury. The machine tender must wear a suitable 
respirator, plus satisfactory eye, face, and 
hearing protection.

 

 

 

 WARNING 

A separate manual is supplied with the remote 
control handle. Do not operate the machine 
before first reading the remote control handle 
operating instructions. 

 
 

3.1.5 

Check to make sure that the handle lever will 

not seal the opening on control handle, unless the safety 
lever lock is pulled down. 

 

3.1.10

  When the blast operator is ready, either the 

operator or the machine tender stands away from the 
concave filling head of the blast machine, and the 
exhaust port and then closes the safety petcock. Closing 
the petcock prepares the machine for remote operation, 
and activation by the control handle. Air should be heard 
escaping from the orifice under the control handle lever 
but nowhere else. The noise from air escaping at the 
control handle is an audible signal, warning that air is 
supplied to the blast machine, and will activate if the 
control handle is pressed.  

 
 

 

 WARNING 

Malfunctioning control handles could cause 
unintentional actuation of a blast machine, or 
prevent a machine from deactivating upon 
release. Malfunctioning control handles must 
be taken out of service immediately and 
repaired or replaced. Serious injury or death 
can result from unintentional blasting.

 

 
 

 

3.2 Blasting

 

 

 

3.1.6

  Start the compressor, and bring it up to 

operating temperature and pressure. Blasting pressure 
is usually high than 50 pounds per square inch (psi) but 
must not exceed the blast machine’s pressure rating. 

 

WARNING 

Failure to wear approved respirators could 
result in serious lung disease or death. 
Abrasive blasting produces harmful dust. Do 
not blast without the use of a properly fitted and 
maintained NIOSH-approved, type CE Supplied-
Air Respirator that is approved for abrasive 
blasting. Everyone in the blasting area must 
wear an approved respirator. 

 

3.1.7

  Fill the machine with screened, clean, dry 

abrasive that is manufactured specifically for abrasive 
blasting. 
 

3.1.8

  Open the compressor air supply valve to 

pressurize the air supply line. Listen for noise that 
indicates any open lines or leaks. 

 

 

Abrasive blasting could cause abrasive 
particles around the blast machine and blast 
nozzle to become airborne. The loud sounds of 
air released at the blast machine and nozzle 
could cause hearing damage. Anyone in the 
blasting area must wear approved eye 
protection and hearing protection. 

3.1.9 

Do not allow anyone within 10 feet of the blast 

machine except machine tenders who are appropriately 
fitted with proper protective equipment, because the 
blast operator could pressurize and depressurize the 
machine without warning. 

 
3.2.1

  Operators must wear appropriate protective 

gear, including: abrasive-resistant clothing, leather 
gloves, eye and hearing protection, and a NIOSH-
approved Type CE Supplied-Air Respirator.
