The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk of static sparking. Static sparking can cause fumes to ignite or explode. Grounding provides an escape wire for the electric current.
Use an extension cord with an undamaged ground contact.
If an extension cord is necessary, use a
ground
Air and fluid hoses: use only electrically conductive hoses with a maximum of 500 ft. (150 m) combined hose length to ensure grounding continuity. Check elec- trical resistance of hoses. If total resistance to ground exceeds 29 megohms, replace hose immediately.
Spray gun: ground through connection to a properly grounded fluid hose and pump.
Fluid supply container: follow local code.
Object being sprayed: follow local code.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is prop- erly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
120 volt plug
Pails
Solvent and oil/based fluids: follow local code. Use only conductive metal pails, placed on a grounded sur- face. Do not place the pail on a nonconductive surface, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts grounding continuity.

Do not modify plug! If it will not fit in outlet, have grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do not use an adapter.

Power Requirements
Grounding a metal pail: connect a ground wire to the pail by clamping one end to pail and other end to a true earth ground such as a water pipe.

To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or relieving pressure: hold metal part of spray gun firmly to side of a grounded metal pail. Then trigger gun.
