SAFETY GUIDELINES
Do not operate equipment with electrical parts exposed, jumpered or rendered inoperable.
Only use dry ice pellets as the cleaning media.
Always engage applicator safety switch before laying it down or passing it to someone.

Always ensure that hoses are securely attached.
Check hoses and cables for nicks and gouge.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electrostatic discharge can be hazardous to the operator and the equipment.
The static charge of CO
Ground the Material Being Cleaned
Always ground the material being cleaned to assure safe operation while blasting.
1. Know your environment.
Electrostatic buildup changes as humidity levels change and will vary by location. Electrostatic
discharge is higher at low humidity levels and occurs most often during winter.
2. Attach static bond cable.
To minimize electrostatic buildup between the part being cleaned and the applicator, attach the static
bond cable between the target surface and the blast hose connection or to an electrically conductive
3. Plug into a grounded power outlet.
This step is critical for electrostatic dissipation. If the ground is not connected, a charge may build up
on the unit or the applicator.
