For multiple hazards, read and understand the safety 

instructions before installing, operating, repairing,

near the product. Failure to do so can result in serious 

bodily injury.

 

Only qualified and trained operators should install, 

adjust or use the product.

The product may only be operated on clean, 

condensate-free and oil-free compressed air.

 

Do not use oxygen or any combustible gas as an 

energy source.

such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases 

or dust. 

 

Never smoke near the work area.

 

Work only in sufficiently ventilated rooms.

 

Never exceed the maximum operating pressure of 6.3 

bar (90 psi).

manufacturer in this manual for your sand blasting 

work.

 

Keep children and bystanders away while operating 

the product. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

 

Do not point the product toward people or animals.

 

Ensure that the workpiece is securely fixed.

 

Operators and maintenance personnel shall be 

physically able to handle the bulk, weight and power 

of the product.

normal or sudden movements and have both hands 

available.

 

Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing.

 

Release the trigger in the case of an interruption of the 

energy supply.

 

Avoid unsuitable postures as it is likely for these 

positions not to allow counteracting of normal or 

unexpected movement of the tool.

 

When using the product to perform work-related 

activities, the operator can experience discomfort in 

the hands, arms, shoulders, neck or other parts of the 

body.

 

While using the product, the operator should adopt a 

comfortable posture whilst maintaining secure footing 

and avoiding awkward or off-balance postures. The 

operator should change posture during extended 

tasks; this can help avoid discomfort and fatigue.

 

If the operator experiences symptoms such as 

persistent or recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing, 

aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensations or 

stiffness, these warning signs should not be ignored. 

The operator should consult a qualified health 

professional.

 

Disconnect the product from the energy supply before 

fitting or changing accessories.

 

Use only sizes and types of accessories and 

consumables that are recommended by the 

manufacturer of the product; do not use other types or 

sizes of accessories or consumables.

 

Do not use cracked or deformed accessories.

 

Slips, trips and falls are major causes of workplace 

injury. Be aware of slippery surfaces caused by use of 

the tool and also of trip hazards caused by the air line 

or hydraulic hose.

 

Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings. There 

can be hidden hazards, such as electricity or other 

utility lines.

 

The product is not intended for use in potentially 

explosive atmospheres and is not insulated against 

contact with electric power.

 

Ensure that there are no electrical cables, gas pipes, 

etc., which can cause a hazard if damaged by use of 

the tool.

 

Dust and fumes generated when using the product 

can cause ill health (for example cancer, birth 

defects, asthma and/or dermatitis); risk assessment 

and implementation of appropriate controls for these 

hazards are essential.

 

Risk assessment should include dust created by the 

use of the product and the potential for disturbing  

existing dust.

 

Take precautions to ensure that other people are not 

contaminated (dust generation).

 

Ensure that the used blast medium is trapped 

and collected so that it can be disposed of in an 

environmentally compatible manner.

 

Operate and maintain the product as recommended in 

these instructions, to minimize dust or fume emissions.

 

Direct the exhaust so as to minimize disturbance of 

dust in a dust-filled environment.

 

Cutters can become hot during use; do not touch.
