WARNING!
Turn off, or disconnect from, air supply before servicing or performing any maintenance

.
WARNING!
This shot blasting kit will generate gritty dust which could damage surface finishes and contaminate moving parts. It is
recommended that shot blasting be carried out in a dedicated room free from
unrelated materials, and where there is adequate lighting.
Where this is not possible, consideration should be given to covering exposed
surfaces and masking moving parts as necessary.
WARNING!
Wear approved ear, eye, hand and respiratory protection when
operating the blaster. A full range of personal safety equipment is available from your
Sealey dealer.
Maintain correct balance and ensure firm footing.
Spillages of abrasive material, which may be slippery, must be cleaned up
immediately to avoid injury.
Maintain the kit in good condition (use an authorised service agent).
Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only. Unauthorised parts
may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
Keep the unit clean for best and safest performance.
Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings, and other loose jewellery,
and contain long hair.
Always keep the blast nozzle directed at the workpiece.
If a failure or malfunction occurs
immediately disconnect from air supply.
Keep all other persons away from the working area. Contact with high pressure
blast or inhaling the dust generated is dangerous. If other personnel are required in
the vicinity of the shot blasting then they must wear protective equipment similar to
the operator’s.
