PRECAUTIONS – BLASTING HOSE
Connection and Disconnection
Never disconnect the blasting hose from the machine or blasting gun when the main
power supply and/or compressed air supply are connected. Otherwise, activation of the
trigger on the blasting gun will result in a discharge of blasting air through an open
outlet instead of through the blasting gun nozzle. If this happens, the operator will lose
control of the air stream, serious injury could occur, that could result in death.
Defective Blasting Hose
The outer hose sleeve protects the operator from any exposure caused by wear and
tear of the inner hose. No pressure build-up is permissible in the outer sleeve during
operation. If a defective blasting hose is used, the operator risks serious injury from
being hit by dry ice pellets. Any sign of inflation means that the inner hose is in some
way defective.
NOTE: If that fault occurs, stop the machine IMMEDIATELY:
• Close the compressed air supply immediately.
• Activate the trigger on the blasting gun until the system is depressurized.
• Activate the emergency stop button.
• Disconnect the main power supply.
• Disconnect the compressed air supply.
• Disconnect the blasting hose (FIRST disconnect the signal cable – THEN the blasting
hose couplings).
• Make sure the blasting hose is repaired and pressure-tested (see following page).
• Although the hopper may not be empty, the system must not be blasted through until
a new/repaired blasting hose has been connected.
CORRECT ORDER IS IMPORTANT!!
• Connection:
FIRST connect the blasting hose couplings – THEN the signal cable!!
• Disconnection:
FIRST disconnect the signal cable – THEN the blasting hose couplings!!
