Additional Safety For Blast Cabinets - Grizzly G0708 Owner's Manual

Additional Safety for Blast Cabinets

1. PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT.
Media blasting presents a real hazard of
silicosis and other lung contamination inju-
ries! These injuries are permanent and can
get worse over time. If you use media blast-
ing equipment without the proper head-
gear, eye protection, and respirator, your
lungs and eyes may become permanently
damaged. DO NOT use this blast cabinet
unless you know how to use it. Protect
yourself correctly, and keep all unprotected
bystanders away. For latest types of protec-
tive equipment and acceptable respirator
types, contact your local OSHA or NIOSH
office.
2. LEAVING THE AREA. To prevent acci-
dental blasting injury, disconnect air supply
when leaving the blast cabinet.
3. MAINTAINING MACHINE. To prevent acci-
dental contamination of shop air, check the
blast cabinet for any leaks before use, and
reseal immediately.
4. SAFE ENVIRONMENT. To avoid media
escaping from the cabinet or to prevent an
entrapment hazard for animals or children,
always close and latch shut the blast cabi-
net doors when not in use.
Like all machinery there is potential danger
when operating this machine. Accidents are
frequently caused by lack of familiarity or
failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to decrease the
risk of operator injury. If normal safety pre-
cautions are overlooked or ignored, serious
personal injury may occur.

5. WORK AREA SAFETY. To prevent acci-
dental contamination of shop air, clean dust
collector and filters often, and repair any
suction hose leaks immediately.
6. MAINTAINING COMPONENTS. To pre-
vent accidental contamination or blast inju-
ry, replace tips, hoses, lenses, and gloves
when they become worn.
7. SAFE MEDIA BLASTING. Do not use sys-
tem over the rated PSI or lines and seals
may burst and cause injury.
8. CORRECT LIGHTING. To prevent ballast
overload and possible fire, do not install
lamps that use over 18 watts.
9. LOADING & UNLOADING. To prevent
accidental blasting injury, disconnect the
air supply before loading or unloading the
workpiece from the blast cabinet.
10. SAFE MAINTENANCE. To prevent acci-
dental blasting injury or shock, disconnect
air supply and power before doing mainte-
nance.
11. SAFE MEDIA BLASTING. To prevent dust
exposure, always secure the door(s) before
beginning media blasting operations.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
Every shop environment is different. Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your
individual working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and respect.
Failure to do so could result in serious per-
sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor
work results.
