SAFETY HAZARDS
HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE
Flammable vapors, such as solvent and paint vapors, in work area can
ignite or explode.
PREVENTION:
•
Do not spray flammable or combustible materials.
•
Do not spray or clean with liquids having a flash point of less than 100˚F (38˚C). Flash
point is the temperature at which a fluid can produce enough vapor to ignite.
•
Verify that all containers and collection systems are grounded to prevent static
discharge.
•
Keep spray area well ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through
the area to keep the air within the spray area free from accumulation of flammable
vapors.
•
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 paint and solvents being sprayed. Read all material Safety
Data Sheets (SDS) and container labels provided with the paints and solvents. Follow
the paint and solvent manufacture’s safety instructions.
•
Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
HAZARD: ELECTRIC SHOCK
This product can cause injury due to electric shock.
PREVENTION:
•
Never submerge electrical parts.
•
Never expose the equipment to rain. Store indoors.
•
Keep spray gun trigger free from paint and other liquids. Failure to observe may
result in an electrical shock.
HAZARD: GENERAL

CHARGER SAFETY RULES
1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This manual contains important safety and
operating instructions for battery charger model GAL18V-40. Do not substitute
any other charger.
2. Before using battery charger, read all instructions and warning markings on (1)
battery charger, (2) battery pack, and (3) product using battery.
3. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only rechargeable batteries listed on the
2
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION • IMPORTANTES CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ • INFORMACIÓN IMPORTANTE SOBRE SEGURIDAD
battery list. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
4. Charge battery pack in temperatures above +32 degrees F (0 degrees C) and
below +113 degrees F (45 degrees C). Store tool and battery pack in locations
where temperatures will not exceed 120 degrees F (49 degrees C). This is
important to prevent serious damage to the battery cells.
5. Do not recharge battery in damp or wet environment. Do not expose charger to
rain or snow. Water entering battery charger may result in electric shock or fire.
6. Never submerge battery pack, tool or charger in fluid of any kind or allow fluid
to enter them. Corrosive or conductive fluid (such as seawater or industrial chemical
or bleach containing products, etc.) can cause short circuit which may result in fire,
personal injury and property damage.
7. Battery leakage may occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. The battery liquid is caustic and could cause
chemical burns to tissues. If liquid comes in contact with skin, wash quickly with soap
and water. If the liquid contacts your eyes, flush them with water for a minimum of
10 minutes and seek medical attention.
8. Place charger on flat nonflammable surfaces and away from flammable
materials when recharging battery pack. Carpeting and other heat insulating
surfaces block proper air circulation which may cause overheating of the charger
and battery pack. If smoke or melting of the charger or battery pack is observed,
unplug the charger immediately and do not use the battery pack or charger. Contact
customer service immediately.
9. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or
otherwise subjected to damage or stress. Damaged plug and cord may result in
electric shock or fire.
10. Disconnect the charger by pulling the plug rather than the cord. Do not
operate charger with damaged cord or plug; have them replaced immediately.
Damaged plug or cord may result in electric shock or fire.
11. Do not insert battery pack in charger if battery pack case is cracked. Using
damaged battery pack may result in electric shock or fire.
12. Do not disassemble charger or operate the charger if it has received a sharp
blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way. Incorrect reassembly or
damage may result in electric shock or fire.
13. Before each use, check the battery charger, cable, plug and battery pack. Do
not use if damage is detected. Never open the battery charger or battery pack
yourself, take it to a qualified serviceman only using original replacement
parts. Incorrect reassembly or using damaged product may result in electric shock
or fire.
14. Do not use attachments not recommended or sold by Wagner. Using
attachments not recommended may result in electric shock or fire.
15. Do not store battery pack in charger. Battery pack stored in charger over a long
period of time could lead to battery pack damage and fire.
16. Unplug charger from outlet before storage, attempting any maintenance or
cleaning. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
17. Keep the battery charger clean by wiping the charger housing with a damp
cloth. Contamination may result in electric shock or fire.
18. Replace battery pack if a substantial drop in operating time per charge is
observed. Battery pack may be nearing the end of its life.
BATTERY CARE
When batteries are not in tool or charger, keep them away from
metal objects. For example, to protect terminals from shorting DO
NOT place batteries in a tool box or pocket with nails, screws, keys, etc.
Fire or injury may result.
Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive
temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 265°F (130°C) may
cause explosion.
BATTERY DISPOSAL
Do not attempt to disassemble the battery or remove any
component projecting from the battery terminals. Fire or injury may
result. Prior to disposal, protect exposed terminals with heavy insulating
tape to prevent shorting.
LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES
