Graco 309524N important safety instructions Skin Injection Hazard

Warning

WARNING

SKIN INJECTION HAZARD

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 the gun at anyone or at any part of the body.

•Do not put your hand or fingers over the gun fluid nozzle.

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

•Do not “blow back” fluid; this is not an air spray system.

•Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 14, when you stop spraying and before cleaning, check- ing, or servicing equipment.

•Use lowest possible pressure when flushing, priming, or troubleshooting.

•Never spray without tip guard and trigger guard installed.

•Engage trigger lock when not spraying.

•Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.

•Check hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately. High pres- sure hose cannot be recoupled; replace the entire hose.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

Solvent and paint fumes in work area can ignite or explode. To help prevent fire and explosion:

• Use equipment only in well ventilated area.

•Eliminate all ignition sources, such as pilot lights, cigarettes and plastic drop cloths (potential static arc).

•Do not plug or unplug power cords or turn lights on or off when flammable fumes are present.

•Keep the work area free of debris, including solvent, rags, and gasoline.

•Ground equipment and conductive objects. See Grounding, page 11.

•Hold gun firmly to side of grounded pail when triggering into pail.

•Ensure main power is off and heater is cool before flushing or servicing heater. Do not turn on heater until fluid lines are clear of solvent.

•Use only grounded hoses.

•If there is static sparking or you feel an electric shock, stop operation immediately. Do not use equipment until you identify and correct the problem.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR SAFE USE

•All flameproof joints are critical to the integrity of the heater as approved for hazardous locations and are not repairable if damaged. Damaged parts must be replaced only with genuine Graco parts with no substitutions.

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

Improper grounding, wiring, or usage of the system can cause electric shock.

•All electrical wiring must be done by a qualified electrician and comply with all local codes and regu- lations.

•Connect only to grounded power source.

•Turn off and disconnect power at the main switch before disconnecting any cables and before servic- ing equipment.
