WARNING

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD (GROUNDING)

Some oil-based and flammable materials generate static electricity when sprayed. Static electricity creates an explosion and fire risk. Your sprayer has a grounding cord that will conduct the static electricity to a grounded electrical outlet. The sprayer and all objects in spray area shall be properly grounded to protect against static discharge, sparks or shocks.

•Connect the grounding cord when spraying flammable or static producing oil-based materials.

•If there is static sparking or if you feel a shock, stop spraying immediately and connect the sprayer to a properly grounded electrical outlet with the ground wire provided.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Move the sprayer away from the spray area to a non-hazardous location. Plug the ground wire into the sprayer.

Unwind the ground wire from the spool and plug it into a properly grounded electrical outlet.

If the ground wire is not long enough to reach a grounded electrical outlet, a

3-wire grounded extension cord may be used to reach a grounded outlet.
