WARNING WARNING WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. To help pre-
vent fire and explosion:
• Do not spray or clean with materials having flash points lower than 100°F (38°C). Use only
non-flammable or water-based materials, or non-flammable paint thinners. For complete informa-
tion about your material, request the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) from the material distributor or
retailer.
• Do not spray 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
system, 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 anti-static or conductive.

• 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.

and container labels provided with the paints and solvents. Follow the paint and solvents manu-
facturer’s safety instructions.
