Safe Use of Machine Guidelines

No one should operate this equipment without training and proper equipment.
Please refer to the training video and user manual that comes together with the
machine for set up and usage.

All personnel forming the operational team must have received prior familiarization
and training with regard to the equipment. This must include clear knowledge of the
operational capabilities of the equipment, as well as its limitations and precautions to
be taken during its use. Staff must be aware of the high level of danger associated
with incorrect operation of such equipment at high pressures. They must be familiar
with the natural recoil of the nozzle while
under pressure, and the operator’s stance
to be adopted to counteract this recoil.

Personal protective equipment is essential, including a full face shield, hearing
protection, hard hat, as well as certified jackets, trousers and boots against high
pressure jets.

Triggers must never be taped, tied, or otherwise altered so the equipment stays in
the "on" position. If the lance is dropped it will whip about wildly, causing serious
injuries

The lance should be a minimum of 1m length to keep the operator from pointing it at
himself and reducing recoil.

Never point a lance at other staff.
Always treat the machine as a high-speed cutting
tool.

When laying hoses, handle them with care. Also, check each hose to be sure it is
marked with the manufacturer's symbol, a serial number, and the maximum
operating pressure. Only use high-pressure hoses, connections and nozzles specified
by DEN-SIN.

Pad the hose at sharp corners or suspend it where necessary.

Examine all hoses and fittings for defects prior to their use each day, and replace if
worn.

When carrying out replacement of components or repairs to the system, the unit
must be locked out and tagged out so that the equipment cannot be brought into use
till the work is completed.

Hydro blasting systems should be depressurized if not in use and left unattended, or
replacement of components or repairs are being made to the system.
WARNING
To prevent accidents from happening, ensure the safety of the person(s)
who uses the equipment and to protect bystanders and nearby placed
inventory or machinery, a few safety precautions needs attention jobs.
