FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. To help prevent
fire and explosion:
•
Do not spray flammable or combustible materials near an open flame or sources of ignition such as
cigarettes, motors, and electrical equipment.
•
Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is able to result in static electricity. Static electricity
creates a risk of fire or explosion in the presence of paint or solvent fumes. All parts of the spray sys-
tem, including the pump, hose assembly, spray gun, and objects in and around the spray area shall
be properly grounded to protect against static discharge and sparks. Use Graco conductive or
grounded high-pressure airless paint sprayer hoses.
•
Verify that all containers and collection systems are grounded to prevent static discharge. Do not
use pail liners unless they are are antistatic or conductive.
•
Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded extensions cords. Do not use a 3-to-2 adapter.
•
Do not use a paint or a solvent containing halogenated hydrocarbons.
•
Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through the area. Keep
pump assembly in a well ventilated area. Do not spray pump assembly.
•
Do not smoke in the spray area.
•
Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark producing products in the spray area.
•
Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags, and other flammable materials.
•
Know the contents of the paints and solvents being sprayed. Read all Material Safety Data Sheets
(MSDS) and container labels provided with the paints and solvents. Follow the paint and solvents
manufacturer’s safety instructions.
•
Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
•
Sprayer generates sparks. When flammable liquid is used in or near the sprayer or for flushing or
cleaning, keep sprayer at least 20 feet (6 m) away from explosive vapors.
