After performing the site assessment safety procedures listed above, bring the BP-10 SUPER and
the dust collector to the work area and perform the following procedures:
 Verify that personnel are competent and that they have read and understood the safety
information in this manual. Staff must also be familiar with how to operate the machine
and with all of its components. Make certain that all personnel follow all safety
instructions and programs required by their company and by the worksite.
 Make certain that all belt guards are in working order and are present on the machine
where needed.
 Verify that all of the machine’s parts are assembled safely and correctly.
Note: It is recommended to have original spare parts and wear parts on hand. It is
imperative that the machine receive special attention and regular maintenance in
order to function properly and to operate safely.
 Inspect all electrical cords on the BP-10 SUPER for damage, tears, or other signs of wear.
If electrical cords are damaged, then do not attempt to perform blasting operations until
