2. Disconnect air hose and release any
built-up air pressure. Do not service
or disassemble the Blast Cabinet
with the air hose attached. Always
release any built-up air, even after
disconnecting hose.
3. Avoid working alone. If an accident
happens, an assistant can bring help.
4. Maintain labels and nameplates
on the Blast Cabinet. These
carry important information. If
unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a
replacement.
5. Maintain a firm grip on the Blast
Gun when in use.
6. Never point the Blast Gun toward
yourself, other people, or animals.
Keep all people and animals safely
away from the work area.
7. Industrial applications must follow
OSHA requirements.
8. Whenever possible, perform an
abrasive blasting test on a small
area of the object to be blasted.
If necessary, adjust the distance to
the object and/or change the Nozzle
of the Blast Gun for more effective
results.
9. Read and understand all safety
warnings and precautions as
outlined in the manufacturer’s
manual for the object you intend to
blast with abrasives.
10. Obey the manual for the air
compressor used to power this tool.
11. Install an in-line shutoff valve to allow
immediate control over the air supply
in an emergency, even if a hose is
ruptured.
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.
