Additional Safety For Blast Cabinets - Grizzly G0714 Owner's Manual

Additional Safety for Blast Cabinets

PERSONAL PROTECTION
Media blasting presents a real hazard of silicosis
and other lung contamination injuries! These
injuries are permanent and can get worse over
time. If you use media blasting equipment without
the proper hood, eye protection, and respirator,
your lungs and eyes may become permanently
damaged. Protect yourself correctly, and keep
all unprotected bystanders away. For the latest
types of protective equipment and acceptable
respirator types, contact your local OSHA or
NIOSH office.
WORK AREA SAFETY. To prevent accidental
contamination of shop air, clean dust collector
and filters often, and repair any suction hose
leaks immediately.
MAINTAINING MACHINE. To prevent accidental
contamination of shop air, check the blast
cabinet for any leaks before use, and reseal
immediately.
AVOIDING ENTRAPMENT. To prevent an
entrapment hazard for animals or children,
always close and latch the blast cabinet door
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, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.
-8-
EQUIPMENT. LEAVING THE AREA. To prevent accidental
blasting injury, disconnect air supply when
leaving the blast cabinet.
MAINTAINING COMPONENTS. To prevent
accidental contamination or blast injury, replace
tips, hoses, lenses, and gloves when they
become worn.
SAFE MEDIA BLASTING. Do not use system
over the rated PSI or lines and seals may burst
and cause injury.
SAFE MAINTENANCE. To prevent accidental
blasting injury or shock, disconnect air supply
and power before loading and unloading a
workpiece, and before doing maintenance or
changing blast tips.
SAFE ENVIRONMENT. To avoid media escaping
from the cabinet, never use the blast cabinet if
the dust collector is OFF or its filter is clogged.
If you do, media will exit through the cabinet air
intake and enter the shop work environment.
Always close and latch the blast cabinet door
shut before and after operation.
No list of safety guidelines can be com-
plete. 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 personal injury, damage to equip-
ment, or poor work results.
