Gun Setup
•
The floor of the spray area:
must be electrically
conductive and grounded. Do not cover the floor
with cardboard or any non-conductive material
which would interrupt grounding continuity.
•
Flammable liquids in the spray area:
must be kept
in approved, grounded containers. Do not use
plastic containers. Do not store more than the
quantity needed for one shift.
•
All persons entering the spray area:
must wear
shoes having conductive soles such as leather,
or wear personal grounding straps. Do not
wear shoes with non-conductive soles such as
rubber or plastic. If gloves are necessary, wear
the conductive gloves supplied with the gun. If
non-Graco gloves are worn, cut off fingers or palm
area of gloves to ensure your hand contacts the
grounded gun handle.
