• 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.

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

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

Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.

Engage trigger lock when not spraying.

Do not point gun at anyone or at any part of the body.

Do not put your hand over the spray tip.

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