1. Introduction
This manual should be regarded as part of the product and must be retained for the life of the

1.1 Safety recommendations
Users of Guyson equipment are advised to make sure they have identified any hazards associated
with their specific blasting processes, including:
Use of compressed air
Fire/explosion risks, e.g. Aluminium dust
Suitable procedures for dealing with fire hazards
Production of carcinogenic or toxic dusts from media or component surface removal
Any other known hazards
Users are responsible for ensuring that they have implemented any current regulatory requirements,
e.g. COSHH, to deal with any potential risks and/or hazards associated with their processes.
ATEX ZONE DESIGNATION
The ATEX Directives 2014/34/EU (product requirements) and 99/92/EC (user requirements) are
implemented by the Equipment and Protective Systems intended for use in potentially explosive
Atmospheres Regulations 1996 (EPS and the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmosphere
Regulations 2002 (DSEAR) respectively.
We are able to provide equipment that is suitable for use in a hazardous area, and/or equipment that
is suitable for use when a hazardous area is created within a system, but it is the end users’
responsibility to classify the area in which the equipment is to be used and/or the explosivity of any
internal atmosphere created within the system. This is defined in Section 2, Article 3 to 9 of the
99/92/EC Directive (ATEX 137).
Unless we have been advised otherwise, we have to assume that the equipment will be used in an
area that is not classified as potentially explosive, and uses a process which will not create an
explosive atmosphere within the equipment.
1.2 Electrical specification
Electrical wiring on Guyson equipment conforms to:
BSEN 60204-1:2006
