•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.

•Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

•Do not exceed the maximum working pressure or temperature rating of the lowest rated system component. See Technical Data in all equipment manuals.

•Use fluids and solvents that are compatible with equipment wetted parts. See Technical Data in all equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings. For complete information about your material, request MSDS forms from distributor or retailer.

•Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately with genuine manufacturer’s replacement parts only.
