• 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 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).
