Shock Hazard - Eastwood B120 Assembly And Operating Instructions Manual

SAFETY INFORMATION
• The Eastwood Abrasive Media Blast Cabinet consists of large, heavy metal components which can cause potentially serious personal
injury and property damage if allowed to drop. Avoid pinching hands while handling parts and always wear thick, well-fitting work
gloves during assembly. The assistance of a helper during assembly is necessary. The use of safety toe shoes is recommended.
• The high velocity media stream produced by this Abrasive Blaster can abrade and remove exposed flesh causing serious injury.
Never operate the Blast Cabinet with the Front Lid or Side Doors unlatched.
• Workpieces may have sharp edges, and it is easy to pinch your fingers while loading and unloading the Blast Cabinet. We highly
recommend wearing thick, well-fitting work gloves when handling workpieces.
• Always dispose of exhausted media properly following all local hazardous material disposal regulations. Hazardous materials such as
lead, zinc chromate, etc. may be present in coatings being removed. Additional protection may be required in the presence of these
substances.
• Air hoses and power cords pose a tripping hazard. Blast media buildup on the floor can be very slippery and difficult to see.
Exercise caution when moving around the Blast Cabinet, and always make sure you are sure-footed.
• Use on a flat, level, and sturdy surface only. The Blast Cabinet fully loaded can exceed 650 lbs. [295 kg]. Do not use on sloped
surfaces or attach casters to the unit.
• Under certain conditions (eg. low atmospheric humidity levels, type of media being used and/or type of material being blasted),
the friction of abrasive blasting may generate static electricity resulting in shock to the user. This discharge could adversely affect
devices such as cardiac pacemakers. We highly recommend grounding the Blast Cabinet to earth to minimize shock risk.
• Do not exceed the 220 lbs. [100 kg] workpiece weight capacity. Overloading could result in property damage and personal injury.
• Always clean or degrease items before loading them into the Blast Cabinet. Cleaning will reduce media contamination, improve blasting
effect, and ensure no flammable substances are present.
• Disconnect from power and air supply when not in use.
