fire, explosion, and electric shock:
• Electrostatic equipment must be used only by trained, qualified personnel who understand
the requirements of this manual.
• Ground all equipment, personnel, object being sprayed, and conductive objects in or close to
spray area. Resistance must not exceed 1 megohm. See Grounding

immediately if static sparking occurs or you feel a shock. Do not use
equipment until you identify and correct the problem.
• Check gun resistance, hose resistance, and electrical grounding daily.
• Use and clean equipment only in well ventilated area.
• Interlock the gun air and fluid supply to prevent operation unless ventilation air flow is above
the minimum required value.
• Use only Group IIA or Group D materials.
• Use cleaning solvents with highest possible flash point when flushing or cleaning equipment.
• Never spray or flush solvent at high pressure.
• To clean the exterior of the equipment, cleaning solvents must have a flash point at least 15°
C or 59° F above ambient temperature. Non-ignitable fluids are preferred.
• Always turn the electrostatics off when flushing, cleaning or servicing equipment.
• Eliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot lights, cigarettes, portable electric lamps, and
plastic drop cloths (potential static sparking).
• Do not plug or unplug power cords or turn lights on or off when flammable fumes are present.
• Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and gasoline.
• Keep the spray area clean at all times. Use non-sparking tools to clean residue from the
