Additional Safety For Blast Cabinets - Grizzly G0708 Owner's Manual

Additional Safety for Blast Cabinets

Serious injury or death can occur from not using proper protective equipment. Connecting and
using system with higher rated PSI than this machine may cause it to burst. To reduce the risk
of these hazards, operator and bystanders MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.
PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT. 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 headgear, eye protection, and respirator,
your lungs and eyes may become permanently
damaged. DO NOT use this blast cabinet unless
you know how to use it. Protect yourself correctly,
and keep all unprotected bystanders away. For
latest types of protective equipment and accept-
able respirator types, contact your local OSHA or
NIOSH office.
MAINTAINING MACHINE. To prevent accidental
contamination of shop air, check the blast cabinet
for any leaks before use, and reseal immediately.
WORK AREA SAFETY. To prevent accidental
contamination of shop air, clean dust collector and
filters often, and repair any suction hose leaks
immediately.
SAFE MAINTENANCE. To prevent accidental
blasting injury or shock, disconnect air supply and
power before doing maintenance.
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-
SAFE ENVIRONMENT. To avoid media escaping
from the cabinet or to prevent an entrapment haz-
ard for animals or children, always close and latch
shut the blast cabinet doors when not in use.
LEAVING THE AREA. To prevent accidental
blasting injury, disconnect air supply when leaving
the blast cabinet.
MAINTAINING COMPONENTS. To prevent acci-
dental contamination or blast injury, replace tips,
hoses, lenses, and gloves when they become
worn.
LOADING & UNLOADING. To prevent accidental
blasting injury, disconnect the air supply before
loading or unloading the workpiece from the blast
cabinet.
SAFE MEDIA BLASTING. Do not use system
over the rated PSI or lines and seals may burst and
cause injury. To prevent dust exposure, always
secure the door(s) before beginning media blast-
ing operations.
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.
