electrically non-conductive clothes and non-skid footwear are recommended when working.
Wear steel-toed boots to prevent injury from falling objects.
2. Control the tool, personal movement and the work environment to avoid personal injury or
damage to the tool. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use your common sense.
a. Keep articles of clothing, jewelry, hair, etc., away from moving parts to avoid
entanglement with a tool.
b. Do not operate any machine / tool when tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medications.
c. Do not overreach when operating a tool. Proper footing and balance enables better
control of a tool in unexpected situations.
d. Use clamps or other practical ways to support or secure the work piece to a stable
platform. Holding the work piece by hand or against your body is not stable and may
lead to loss of control and injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Wear protective abrasive-resistant clothing.
2. Do not exceed the maximum 125 PSI rating.
3. Use only abrasives specifically intended for blasting.
4. Do not attempt to move the unit when the hopper contains abrasive.
ABRASIVE BLASTING MEDIA PRECAUTIONS
The blasting process emits abrasive media under pressure that breaks apart upon impact. The resulting
dust is a combination of the media and the material being removed by the abrasive. Both the media and
the material being removed may have toxic components such as lead in paint.
1. Check the abrasive media’s Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for information on the health
risks and preventative measure that can be taken to minimize those risks.
2. Determine the toxicity of the material being removed and take appropriate measures.
3. Work in a well ventilated area whenever possible.
4. Wear NIOSH approved respirators that protect both the lower face and eyes during blasting
operations whenever possible.
WARNING! Sand or silica particle dust can result in the lung disease known as silicosis, when
inhaled over a short period of time. Silicosis causes shortness of breath, cough, fever and bluish
skin (cyanosis). Seek immediate medical attention if these symptoms appear.
AIR TOOL PRECAUTIONS
1. Extended exposure to air tool noise may cause hearing loss. Ear protection gear can reduce
or eliminate the noise level.
2. Inspect the tool's airline for cracks, fraying or other faults before each use. Discontinue use if
the airline is damaged or hissing is heard from the airline or connectors, while operating the
tool. Replace the defective component/airline.
3. Do not allow people, mobile equipment or vehicles to pass over the unprotected airline.
Position the airline away from high traffic areas, in a reinforced conduit or place planks on
both sides of the airline to create a protective trench.
4. Prevent damage to the airline by observing the following:
