Sandblasting presents a real hazard of silicosis and other lung contamination injuries! These
Injuries are permanent and can get worse over time. If you use sandblasting equipment without
the proper headgear, eye protection, and respirator, your lungs and eyes may become irreversibly
contaminated. DO NOT use this sandblaster unless you know how to use it, protect yourself
correctly, and keep all unprotected bystanders away. For latest types of protective equipment and
acceptable respirator types, contact your local OSHA or NIOSH office.
