WARNING: Keep electrical cords in good condition. Do
not use worn, bare, or frayed cords because they can cause
electrical shock.
DANGER: Risk of explosion or fire.
Fire or Explosion Hazard! DO NOT USE an abrasive
blaster around combustible or flammable liquids, dust
gases, oily rags or other materials that can explode or
burn quickly. Some abrasives create sparks when they
hit surfaces. Abrasives similar to aluminum oxide may
generate static electric sparks which will cause fires or
explosions in an unsafe environment.
DANGER: Risk to breathing (asphyxiation).
Dust can be created when you sweep, blast, cut, drill
or grind materials such as wood, paint, metal,
concrete, cement, or other masonry. This dust often
contians chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Make sure to wear protective gear.
CAUTION: Risk of static shock.
Static electric shocks can be painful. Please wear
leather or rubber soled shoes or boots and stand on
the ground to avoid static electricity.
DANGER: SILICOSIS AND OTHER DUST WARNINGS
DO NOT USE SAND!
While the vacuum assisted reclaiming system on this product
does a good job of dust containment, breathing dust from silica
sand may cause silicosis, a fatal lung disease. Breathing dust
during blasting operations may also cause asbestosis and/or other
serious or fatal diseases.
A NIOSH-approved, well maintained abrasive blasting respirator
must be used by anyone blasting, anyone handling or using
media containing toxic substances or media with free crystalline
silica and anyone in the area of the dust. Harmful dust can remain
suspended in the air for long periods of time after blasting has
ceased, causing serious injury or death.
Before removing respirator, use an air monitoring instrument to
determine if the atmosphere is safe to breathe. Contact the local
OSHA or NIOSH office to determine the proper respirator for
your particular application.
READ THESE SAFETY PROCEDURES IN THEIR ENTIRETY.
PARTS OF THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ARE WITHIN THESE
WARNINGS.
These procedures are not intended to be exhaustive due to the
many variables in the abrasive blasting field. Therefore, we INSIST
that the hands, ears, mouth, nose and eyes be covered with the
appropriate safety protection at all times.
