WARNING
FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. To help
prevent fire and 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
instructions.
• Only use grounded Graco conductive air supply hoses.
• Do not use pail liners unless they are conductive and grounded.
•
Stop operation 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 supply to prevent operation unless ventilating fans are on.
• Use cleaning solvents with highest possible flash point when flushing or cleaning equipment.
• To clean the exterior of the equipment, cleaning solvents must have a flash point at least 5°C (9°F)
above ambient temperature.
• 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 arc).
• Do not plug or unplug power cords or turn lights on or off when flammable fumes are present.
• Keep spray area free of debris, including solvent, rags and gasoline.
• Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High-pressure fluid from gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components will pierce skin. This may look like just
a cut, but it is a serious injury that can result in amputation.
Get immediate surgical treatment.
• Do not spray without tip guard and trigger guard installed.
• Engage trigger lock when not spraying.
• Do not point gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
• Do not put your hand over the spray tip.
• Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
• Follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure
when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking, or
servicing equipment.
• Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
• Check hoses and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
