FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. To help prevent fire and explosion:

•Do not spray flammable or combustible materials near an open flame or sources of ignition such as cigarettes, motors, and electrical equipment.

•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 Graco conductive or grounded high-pressure airless paint sprayer hoses.

•Do not clean with materials having flash points lower than 70° F (21° C). Use water-based material or mineral spirits-type material only. For complete information about your fluid, request the MSDS from the fluid distributor or retailer.

•Verify that all containers and collection systems are grounded to prevent static discharge.

SKIN INJECTION HAZARD

High-pressure fluid from dispensing device, 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 dispensing device at anyone or at any part of the body.

•Do not put your hand over the fluid outlet.

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

•Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop dispensing and before cleaning, checking, or servicing equipment.

•Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.

•Check hoses and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
