3. Abrasive media is very slippery. Clear it from the workspace immediately
to avoid personal injuries.
ABRASIVE BLASTING PRECAUTIONS
DANGER! Do not use sand or silicate particulate dust as an abrasive.
Sand or silica particulate dust can result in the lethal lung disease
known as silicosis, when inhaled over a period of time as short as
several weeks or as long as 5 to 10 years. Silicosis causes shortness of
breath, cough, fever and bluish skin (cyanosis). Seek immediate medical
attention if these symptoms appear. Silicosis can kill you if untreated.
The abrasive blasting process emits abrasive media under pressure that breaks
apart upon impact. The resulting dust is a combination of the abrasive media
and the removed material. 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 measures you can
implement to minimize those risks.
2. Use only abrasives specifically intended for blasting. Never use sand or
silicates.
3. Inspect all seals for damage before each use.
4. Avoid exposure to hazardous dust created during the blasting process.
Options include ventilation systems to remove or divert the dust,
containment methods such as cabinets or blast-cleaning machines or
working outside. Always check municipal by-laws regarding abrasive
blasting outdoors. Test the air quality to ensure that exposure is reduced
by the chosen option.
5. Never point the abrasive blasting gun at people or animals. Never point
the tool towards yourself. The abrasive media is under pressure and can
cause a physical injury.
6. Ground the abrasive blasting cabinet to prevent static electricity build-up.
AIR TOOL PRECAUTIONS
1. Use only clean and dry compressed air as a power source. Contaminated
or moist air will gradually damage the tool.
2. Discontinue tool use if it does not work properly or air is leaking. Tag or
mark the tool as 'defective' or 'out of service' until repaired.
