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 or clean with materials having flash points lower than 100° F (38° C). Use only non-flam
mable or water-based materials, or non-flammable paint thinners. For complete information about
your material, request the SDS from the material distributor or retailer.
•
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 cre
ates 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.
•
Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded extension cords. Do not use a 3-to-2 adapter.
•
Do not use a paint or a solvent containing halogenated hydrocarbons.
•
Do not spray combustible liquids in a confined area.
•
Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through the area.
•
Spray generates sparks. Keep pump assembly in a well-ventilated area at least 20 feet (6.1 m) from
the spray area when spraying, flushing, cleaning, or servicing. Do not spray pump assembly.
•
Do not smoke in the spray area or spray where sparks or flame is present.
•
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 Safety Data Sheets (SDS) 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.
