WARNING
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High-pressure fluid from gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components will pierce skin. This may look
like just a cut, but it is a serious injury that can result in amputation.
Get immediate surgical
treatment.
• Do not point gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
• Do not put your hand over the dispense outlet.
• Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
• Engage trigger lock when not spraying.
• Follow
Pressure Relief Procedure
in this manual, when you stop spraying and before cleaning,
checking, or servicing equipment.
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
Moving parts can pinch or amputate fingers and other body parts.
• Keep clear of moving parts.
• Do not operate equipment with protective guards or covers removed.
• Pressurized equipment can start without warning. Before checking, moving, or servicing
equipment, follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure
in this manual. Disconnect power or air
supply.
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Misuse can cause death or serious injury.
• Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Do not exceed the maximum working pressure or temperature rating of the lowest rated system
component. See
Technical Data
in all equipment manuals.
• Use fluids and solvents that are compatible with equipment wetted parts. See
Technical Data
in all equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings. For complete
information about your material, request MSDS forms from distributor or retailer.
• Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately with genuine
manufacturer’s replacement parts only.
• Do not alter or modify equipment.
• Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Call your distributor for information.
• Route hoses and cables away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot surfaces.
• Do not kink or over bend hoses or use hoses to pull equipment.
• Keep children and animals away from work area.
• Comply with all applicable safety regulations.
PRESSURIZED ALUMINUM PARTS HAZARD
Do not use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or fluids
containing such solvents in pressurized aluminum equipment. Such use can cause serious chemical
reaction and equipment rupture, and result in death, serious injury, and property damage.

Pressurized Aluminum Parts Hazard
Use with equipment with
pressurized aluminum parts only. Equipment may have aluminum parts that aren’t pressur-
ized - check with engineering.
Plastic Parts Cleaning Solvent Hazard
Created for CEDs Texture Sprayer. May have use with other waterbase application equipment with plastic parts that
can be damaged by certain solvents.
Moving Parts Hazard
The icon showing finger loss, below, was chosen as a standard to represent a moving parts hazard. It is not neces-
sary to individualize the symbol for every piece of equipment Graco has. If you need to get more specific, show a
graphic of the actual point of danger in the Operation, Troubleshooting, and/or Service section, where the user is
most likely to encounter the hazard.
WARNING
PRESSURIZED ALUMINUM PARTS HAZARD
Do not use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or fluids
containing such solvents in pressurized aluminum equipment. Such use can cause serious chemical
reaction and equipment rupture, and result in death, serious injury, and property damage.
WARNING
PLASTIC PARTS CLEANING SOLVENT HAZARD
Use only compatible water-based solvents to clean plastic structural or pressure-containing parts. Many
solvents can degrade plastic parts and cause them to fail, which could cause serious injury or property
damage. See
Technical Data in this and all other equipment instruction manuals. Read fluid and solvent
manufacturer’s warnings.
WARNING
OR
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
Moving parts can pinch or amputate fingers and other body parts.
•
Keep clear of moving parts.
•
Do not operate equipment with protective guards or covers removed.
•
Pressurized equipment can start without warning. Before checking, moving, or servicing equipment,
follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual. Disconnect power or air supply.

Rev. G 6/17/2008
Skin Injection Hazard
Use with high pressure equipment, generally equipment with pressure rating of 900 psi or higher. There are 2 ver-
sions of this section.
1) manual guns, 2) UL-1450 compliant equipment 3) automatic guns,/dispense valves,/lubrica-
tion valves,
4) heated hoses. Since the text contains mostly “Do not” statements, the symbols have lines through
them.
WARNING
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
- Basic
High-pressure fluid from gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components will pierce skin. This may look like just
a cut, but it is a serious injury that can result in amputation.
Get immediate surgical treatment.
•
Do not point gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
•
Do not put your hand over the spray tip.
•
Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
•
Do not spray without tip guard and trigger guard installed.
•
Engage trigger lock when not spraying.
•
Follow
Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual, when you stop spraying and before cleaning,
checking, or servicing equipment.
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
- Use with UL1450 Compliance
Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person or animal.
•
Keep hands and other body parts away from the discharge. For example, do not try to stop leaks with
any part of the body.
•
Always use the nozzle tip guard. Do not spray without nozzle tip guard in place.
•
Use Graco nozzle tips.
•
Use caution when cleaning and changing nozzle tips. in the case where the nozzle tip clogs while
spraying, follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure for turning off the unit and relieving the pressure
before removing the nozzle tip to clean.
•
Do not leave the unit energized or under pressure while unattended. When the unit is not in use, turn
off the unit and follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure for turning off the unit.
•
High-pressure spray is able to inject toxins into the body and cause serious bodily injury. In the event
that injection occurs,
get immediate surgical treatment.
•
Check hoses and parts for signs of damage. Replace any damaged hoses or parts.
•
This system is capable of producing
XXXX
psi. Use Graco replacement parts or accessories that are
rated a minimum of
XXXX
psi.
•
Always engage the trigger lock when not spraying. Verify the trigger lock is functioning properly.
•
Verify that all connections are secure before operating the unit.
•
