Ground the equipment. Refer to Grounding on page page 6.
•
If there is any static sparking or you feel an electric shock while using this equipment, stop the
equipment immediately. Do not use the equipment until you identify and correct the problem.
•
Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of flammable fumes from solvents or the fluid being
