2. SAFETY
• Always disconnect the unit from the compressed air and power sources before beginning any

• When working with the tank wear protective glasses to protect your eyes.
• Any abrasive material on the o-ring may lead to leakage and early wear of the o-ring. After filling, clean the
thread and o-ring before applying the lid.
• Solvents will create cracks in the jar and weaken the jar (danger of explosion!). Clean the lid and tank only
with a dry cloth. Do not write or adhere anything to the jar or lid.
• Check for damages on the lids and tanks regularly and replace them if there is any doubt of the structural
integrity.
• Before operation, check to make certain the lid is secured properly. Using the product without the lid secured
will create a serious explosive hazard.
• Never operate the blasting units without suitable dust extraction and appropriate protective gear. The type
of dust extraction should be based on the type dust generated. Ask the proper authorities.
• Never direct the blasting material towards eyes or unprotected areas of skin. Improper use can result in risk
of eye or skin injuries.
