Specific Safety instructions
1. Do not direct spray at people or animals.
2. Do not exceed maximum air pressure.
3. RISK OF INJECTION ‑ Do not point blast gun at
any person or any part of the body. In case of skin
injection, seek medical attention immediately.
4. Industrial applications must follow
OSHA requirements.
5. Attach all accessories properly to the tool before
connecting the air supply. A loose accessory
may detach or break during operation.
6. Install an in‑line shutoff valve to allow immediate
control over the air supply in an emergency,
even if a hose is ruptured.
7. Air hose fittings may get hot during use.
Allow fittings to cool before disconnecting.
Silicosis and aluminum Oxide Warnings
Warning: Abrasive blasting with sand containing
crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory
disease. Exposure to crystalline silica may cause
silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer and death.
Exposure to aluminum oxide (a dust generated from
material removing processes) can result in eye, skin
and breathing irritation. Always use a NIOSH (National
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) approved
respirator and safety goggles. Avoid skin exposure.
Proper ventilation in the work area is required. Read
and understand the 10 recommended measures below
to reduce crystalline silica exposures in the workplace
and prevent silicosis and silicosis related deaths.
niOSH recommends the following measures to
reduce crystalline silica exposures in the workplace
and prevent silicosis and silicosis-related deaths:
1. Prohibit silica sand (or other substances
containing more than 1% crystalline silica)
as an abrasive blasting material and
substitute less hazardous materials.
2. Conduct air monitoring to measure
worker exposures.
3. Use containment methods such as blast‑cleaning
machines and cabinets to control the hazard
and protect adjacent workers from exposure.

For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797.
8. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to
begin work before turning on the tool.
9. Do not leave the tool unattended when it is plugged
into an compressor. Release the Trigger, and
unplug the tool from its air source before leaving.
10. Use clamps (not included) or other
practical ways to secure and support
the workpiece to a stable platform.
WarninG: This product, when used for abrasive
blasting and similar applications, produces chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer
and birth defects (or other reproductive harm).
11. If any abnormal vibration occurs,
stop use immediately.
4. Practice good personal hygiene to avoid
unnecessary exposure to silica dust.
5. Wear washable or disposable protective clothes
at the work site. Shower and change into clean
clothes before leaving the work site to prevent
contamination of cars, homes and other work areas.
6. Use respiratory protection when source controls
cannot keep silica exposures below the NIOSH REL.
7. Provide periodic medical examinations for all
workers who may be exposed to crystalline silica.
8. Post signs to warn workers about the hazard and to
inform them about required protective equipment.
9. Provide workers with training that includes
information about health effects, work practices
and protective equipment for crystalline silica.
10. Report all cases of silicosis to State health
departments and to OSHA or the Mine Safety
and Health Administration (MSHA).
