BlastPro BP-10 SUPER - Safety - Shut Down Procedures

Safety — Operation Procedures
When operating the BP-10 SUPER, perform the following safety procedures:
 SUPPORT PERSONNEL MUST KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE FROM THE
MACHINE WHILE IT IS IN OPERATION! DO NOT STAND IN FRONT OF
THE MACHINE WHILE IT IS IN OPERATION!
 Since the speed of the machine determines the depth of its cut, it is advised that the
operator run a test pattern. Failure to run a test pattern could result in the machine
gouging the floor.
 The blast pattern needs to be inspected by the operator at least every ten feet as variation
in concrete means that the concrete or the coated surface may be softer in some areas than
it is in others.
 Whenever the dust collector becomes full, it must be emptied. Failure to empty the dust
collector could result in the machine losing its suction to the floor. If this happens, then
all of the shot will fall out of the shot hopper.
 Never switch off or remove the exhaust and ventilation devices when the machine is in
operation.
 A SECOND PERSON MUST BE PRESENT SO AS TO PULL OUT THE
MACHINE’S PLUG IN AN EMERGENCY! THE WORK AREA MUST THEN
BE SEALED OFF USING A RED AND WHITE SAFETY CHAIN AND A
DANGER SIGN! USE A TOOL THAT IS INSULATED AGAINST VOLTAGES!
 IF AN ERROR OCCURS WHILE THE MACHINE IS IN OPERATION, IT MUST
BE SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY! THE CAUSE OF THE ERROR MUST BE
ESTABLISHED IMMEDIATELY!
 IF CABLES BECOME LOOSE OR SCORCHED, THE MACHINE MUST BE
SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY!
Safety — Shut Down Procedures
When shutting down the BP-10 SUPER, always perform the following safety procedures:
 Shut off the shot supply by pulling the shot valve handle in reverse.
 Advance the machine until you are sure that no deep holes are being blasted into the
surface.
 Turn off the breakers to the BP-10 SUPER and to the dust collector.
 Turn switch on the BP-10 SUPER and dust collector to the OFF position.
 Empty dust from the dust collector. WHEN REMOVING DUST FROM DUST
COLLECTOR, ALWAYS WEAR A PARTICLE MASK. CONCRETE DUST
MAY CONTAIN PARTICLES WHICH ARE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS!
THESE PARTICLES SHOULD NEVER BE INHALED!
