WARNING

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.

•Do not fill fuel tank while engine is running or hot; shut off engine and let it cool. Fuel is flammable and can ignite or explode if spilled on hot surface.

•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 are antistatic or conductive.

•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.

SKIN INJECTION HAZARD (SPRAY GUN)

High-pressure fluid from gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components will pierce skin. This may look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury that can result in amputation. Get immediate surgical treatment.

•Do not point gun at anyone or at any part of the body.

•Do not put your hand over the spray nozzle.

•Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.

•Follow Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking, or servicing equipment.
