HAZARD IDENTIFICATIONS
Failure to comply with ANY WARNING listed below could result in death or serious injury.
This product is not for use in wet environments. Always use a Ground Fault Interrupter Circuit (GFIC) for
all electrical power source connections. Use of this product in wet environments could create a shock or
electrocution hazard.
Frozen moisture could cause restrictions and obstructions in pneumatic control lines. Any restriction or
obstruction in the pneumatic control lines could prevent the proper activation and deactivation of the remote
control system, resulting in the release of high speed abrasive and compressed air. In conditions where moisture
may freeze in the control lines an antifreeze injection system approved for this application can be installed.
Do not cut, obstruct, restrict or pinch pneumatic control lines. Doing so could prevent the proper activation and
deactivation of the remote control system, resulting in the release of high speed abrasive and compressed air.
Use of Marco remote control switches with other manufacturer’s remote control systems could cause unintended
activation of remote control systems resulting in the release of high speed abrasive and compressed air. Only
Marco remote control switches should be used with Marco remote control systems.
Always be certain to have secure footing when abrasive blasting. There is a recoil hazard when abrasive blasting
starts that may cause user to fall and misdirect the abrasive stream at operator or bystander.
Never use an abrasive blasting pot or attachments as a climbing device. The person could slip and fall. The
abrasive blasting pot could become unstable and tip over.
For equipment manufactured by entities other than Marco, you must consult the Original Equipment Manufacturer
operator’s manuals, information, training, instructions and warnings, for the proper and intended use of all
equipment.
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes in the work area can present an ignition or explosion hazard
if allowed to collect in adequate concentrations. To reduce conditions that could result in a fire or an explosion,
provide adequate ventilation, eliminate all ignition or spark sources, keep the work area free of debris, store
solvents and solvent contaminated rags in approved containers, follow proper grounding procedures, do not
plug/unplug power cord or turn on/off power switches when flammable fumes are present, keep a working fire
extinguisher or provide another fire suppression system in the work area. Cease all operations and correct
condition if a spark or ignition source is identified during operation.
Always depressurize the entire system, disconnect all power sources and lockout/tagout all components before
any maintenance or troubleshooting is attempted. Failure to comply with the above warning could cause electrical
shock and inadvertent activation of equipment resulting in death or serious injury.
Moving parts can present an area where crushing, pinching, entanglement or amputation may occur. Do not
place body parts or foreign objects in any area where there are moving parts.
Surfaces of heated supply tanks, drums and/or lines as well as the adjoining plumbing may become hot during
normal use. Do not touch these heated surfaces without proper protection. Deactivate and allow sufficient time for
all surfaces to cool before attempting any maintenance.
High-pressure fluid from gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components can pierce skin and can cause a serious injury
that may result in amputation. Do not point gun or spray tip at anyone or at any part of the body. Keep clear
of any leaks or ruptures. Depressurize the entire system before attempting cleaning, inspecting, or servicing
equipment.
Exposure to toxic fluids or fumes may occur during the normal operation of this system. Before attempting to
fill, use, or service this system, read SDS’s to know the specific hazards of the fluids you are using. Always use
proper Personal Protective Equipment when attempting to fill, use, or service this system.
The use of this product for any purpose other than originally intended or altered from its original design is
prohibited.
Never hang objects from the abrasive blasting pot handle. Doing so may cause the abrasive blasting pot to
become unstable and tip over.
