Hearing protection
•
Operators and other personnel ex
-
posed to noise levels of more than
90 dBa for more than 1 hour must
wear suitable ear protection. Ear
plugs and muffs are usually
adequate.
Body protection
•
Waterproof garments only protect the operator from
spray and flying debris. They
DO NOT provide any
protection from direct jet impact.
WARNING
NEVER point a waterjet cutting or cleaning tool
at yourself or at any person. Do not aim any
waterjet tool at anything you do not want to cut.

-

devices. The card illustrated below can be purchased
from Flow (P/N A-8466).
