PRESSURE BLASTER SAFETY PROCEDURES
CAUTION: 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 appropriate safety protection at all times.
ADDITIONAL WARNINGS!
CAUTION MUST BE EXERCISED BY USER AT ALL TIMES
1. Do not place fingers, any body parts or any components in the filler
plug seal area when the blast machine is being pressurized. Failure
to keep body parts from the filler plug area will result in serious injury.
2. Do not exceed maximum working pressure of 110 PSI. Failure to keep
maximum working pressure below 125PSI can cause the blast machine
to burst, causing death or serious injury.
3. Everyone in the blast area including the equipment operator should
correctly use and maintain a NIOSH-approved air-supplied respirator,
even after blasting has ceased. Harmful dust can remain suspended in
the air for long periods of time after blasting has ceased causing
injury or death.
4. Before using the pressure blaster: Put on safety glasses, gloves, and
NIOSH-approved respirator. Always wear these protective items
when operating and while servicing your abrasive blaster. While a
protective hood is provided to help protect you from flying patricides
as you use the machine, the hood does not provide protection from
air borne particles. A well maintained air supplied blasting respirator
must be used by anyone blasting.
5. Use thick gloves with gauntlets to protect your hands.
6. Use backboards to prevent overspray from hitting someone or
something else because the dust will travel a long distance. Blast in
a large open area to minimize abrasive accumulation in surrounding areas.
7. Do not pull media tank around by the abrasive hose or let tank fall over as
a fitting may break rendering the machine unsafe. Media and air under 110
PSI have a very high destructive force. Never leave a pressurized machine
unattended. If an emergency occurs, such as a burst blast hose, shutdown
the machine immediately.
8. Drain air out of tank through the inlet valve and disconnect power before
maintenance cleaning of any kind. When removing nozzle, caution must be
exercised as air pressure may still be in the hose if the nozzle is plugged.
