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:

• Use equipment only in well ventilated area.

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

• 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.

•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 iden- tify and correct the problem.

•Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.
