• Use only approved work platforms. Never climb on or around the equipment using makeshift
devices.
• Always use the muff on the abrasivejet nozzle. It helps keep the noise level low during machining
and reduces splashing of water and abrasive.
• Always use proper lifting equipment to handle heavy work materials.
• Always remove power from the equipment when finished using the JetMachining Center for the day.
Don’t
• Don’t operate the OMAX JetMachining Center without first being adequately trained on how to
operate it correctly and safely.
• Don’t allow nozzle movement while handling material in the tank. Stop the abrasivejet before making
any adjustments. Nozzle movement can exert up to 1,000 lbs (4.4 kN) of force, easily crushing any
hands or fingers caught between it and another object.
Note
: It’s possible that the nozzle may move or become active during machine adjustments while
power is still applied.
• Don’t stand on the support slats. They are weakened by continued cutting and may not support your
weight.
• Don’t operate the OMAX with any of its protective guards or covers removed or rendered
inoperative.
• Don’t operate the OMAX in an explosive atmosphere. Machining titanium and certain other materials
can produce sparks. Never allow explosive or flammable vapors to accumulate in the area of the
OMAX.
• Don’t allow unauthorized personnel access to the machining area without providing proper
supervision.
• Don’t switch tank chemicals for bacterial control without first reading the manufacturing warnings on
the labels. Mixing different chemicals can create a hazardous situation.
• Don’t use silica sand as a cutting abrasive. Fine silica dust produced by the cutting process can lead
to silicosis, a serious lung disease.
• Don’t operate the machine in close proximity to other machines or electrical equipment as water can
spray or splash out of the cutting table area.
Pump Safety Requirements
Do
• Operate the OMAX pump only after reading this manual and receiving instruction from a qualified
operator.
• Stay in a location within easy reach of the emergency stop switch.
• Start the pump only when all side panels are securely in place.
• Maintain all protective guards and shutdown devices around the OMAX pump.
• Immediately notify responsible repair personnel whenever leaks are detected in high-pressure
fittings or connections.
• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for servicing the equipment and use only original
manufacturer replacement parts.
• Follow a periodic maintenance schedule that ensures proper equipment operation.
• At the conclusion of maintenance activities, clear all tools and rags from around the OMAX pump
before operating the equipment.
Don’t
• Don’t start the OMAX pump unless you know how to stop it.
• Never open or do maintenance on the OMAX pump with the main disconnect ON or unlocked, or
while the pump unit is operating. Always follow standard lockout/tag-out procedures.
• Don’t apply power to this pump while maintenance work is in progress. Always lock the main power
to the OMAX pump off at its source.
• Don’t make unauthorized alterations to the equipment or components.
