WARNING
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:
• Use equipment only in well ventilated area.
• Eliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot lights, cigarettes, portable electric lamps, and plastic drop
cloths (potential static arc).
• Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and gasoline.
• Do not plug or unplug power cords, or turn power or light switches on or off when flammable fumes
are present.
• Ground all equipment in the work area. See
Grounding
instructions.
• Use only grounded hoses.
• Hold gun firmly to side of grounded pail when triggering into pail. Do not use pail liners unless they

•
Stop operation immediately
if static sparking occurs or you feel a shock
.
Do not use equipment
until you identify and correct the problem.
• Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.
• Route exhaust away from all ignition sources. If diaphragm ruptures, fluid may be exhausted with air.
Static charge may build up on plastic parts during cleaning and could discharge and ignite flammable
vapors. To help prevent fire and explosion:
• Clean plastic parts only in a well ventilated area.
• Do not clean with a dry cloth.
• Do not operate electrostatic guns in equipment work area.
