Page 5: Safety Considerations
C O N S I D E R A T I O N S Mini Blaster Safety The MB-2000 mini blaster has been designed and manufactured with safety as a primary consideration. However, due to the nature of any industrial machine, the potential for injury can be created by misuse, incorrect operation or improper maintenance. - Page 6 S A F E T Y C O N S I D E R A T I O N S WARNING Do not mix combustible materials such as aluminum, paper, wood or organic dusts with metal dust. When collecting flammable or explosive materials, locate the collector outdoors. WARNING Do not blast parts wet with solvent or other flammable liquids.
- Page 7 S A F E T Y C O N S I D E R A T I O N S CAUTION Ensure only dry air is allowed into the dust collector. Moist air can clog the cartridge filters and will result in suboptimal filtration. Blaster Safety Warnings WARNING All blasters produce sparks during the blasting process.
