SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
READ INSTRUCTIONS
Thoroughly read and understand this manual before using the Eastwood Dual Blaster. Save for future reference.
•
Silica based abrasives have been linked to severe respiratory disease. Do not use sand or silica based abrasives with this blaster.
•
The dust produced by abrasive blasting can contain hazardous materials such as lead, zinc chromate, cadmium, and other toxic
compounds depending on the substrate being blasted. Always wear a NIOSH approved breathing apparatus when abrasive blasting.
•
Never operate the abrasive blaster indoors.
•
The abrasive blast stream from this unit can cause severe eye injury and blindness. Severe skin abrasion and fl esh removal can quickly occur from
exposure to the blast stream.
•
Eye protection must be worn at all times when using the Abrasive Blaster. Use ANSI approved safety glasses at all times, even when using a blast
hood.
•
Wear heavy, abrasive-resistant rubber blasting gloves to protect hands and forearms from abrasive injury.
•
Under certain conditions (low humidity and certain types of blast media) the friction of abrasive blasting can generate a static
electricity charge resulting in signifi cant static shocks.
•
Air inlet pressure must not exceed 125 psi. Excessive air pressure can cause the unit to burst causing personal injury and
damage to property.
•
Install a ball valve in the supply line so that air can be shut off quickly in an emergency.
•
Always disconnect the air supply and release pressure from the tanks before refi lling with media, storing, servicing,
or changing accessories.
•
Discharge the tool in a safe fashion after the air supply is shut off to ensure that all residual air is bled from the tank and hoses.
•
To prevent injury from accidental operation, do not install a female quick connect coupling to the blaster. Such couplers contain a
valve that shuts off automatically upon disconnection and allows the air tanks to remain charged after they are disconnected from
the air supply.
•
Check for damage or wear regularly and replace any worn or damaged parts before use.
•
Always check to make sure the dead man valve is closed before connecting the air supply to the blaster.
•
Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gasses, or any other bottled gas to operate this tool. These gasses work at pressures capable of
bursting this tool's tanks, or are explosive and fl ammable.
