SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION
WHAT COULD HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
This tool is capable of generating
sparks which can result in ignition
of flammable materials.
Wiping or cleaning rags and other flammable waste materials that
may have been used on the tool must be placed in a tightly closed
metal container, and disposed of in a proper manner.
Do not spray flammable or combustible materials near an open
flame or sources of ignition such as cigarettes, motors, and
electrical equipment.
Do not spray or clean with flammable liquids. For use with
water-based liquids only.
Do not spray or clean with liquids having a flash point less than
38°C (100°F).
Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is able to result in
static electricity. Static electricity creates a risk of fire or explosion
in the presence of paint or solvent fumes. All parts of the spray
system, including the pump, hose assembly, spray gun, and
objects in and around the spray area shall be properly grounded
to protect against static discharge and sparks. Use only
conductive or grounded high-pressure airless paint sprayer hoses
specified by the manufacturer.
Verify that all containers and collection systems are grounded to
prevent static discharge.
Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded extension cords.
Do not use a 3 to 2 adapter.
Do not use a paint or a solvent containing halogenated
hydrocarbons. See operating instructions for examples of these
types of materials.
Keep spray area well ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air
moving through the area. Keep pump assembly in a well ventilated
area. Do not spray pump assembly.
Do not smoke in the spray area.
Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark producing
products in the spray area.
Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags, and
other flammable materials.
Know the contents of the paints and solvents being sprayed. Read
all Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and container labels provided with
the paints and solvents. Follow the paint and solvent
manufacturer’s safety instructions.
