WARNING

Fire, Explosion, and Electric Shock Hazard

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

•Electrostatic equipment must be used only by trained, qualified personnel who understand the requirements of this manual.

•Ground equipment, personnel, object being sprayed, and conductive objects in work area. See Grounding instructions.

•Only use grounded Graco conductive air supply hoses.

•Check gun and hose resistance and electrical grounding daily.

•Interlock the gun air supply to prevent operation unless ventilating fans are on.

•Use and clean equipment only in well ventilated area.

•Use cleaning solvents with highest possible flash point when flushing or cleaning equipment.

•Always turn the electrostatics off when flushing, cleaning or servicing equipment.

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

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

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

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

•Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.

Skin Injection Hazard

Spray from the gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components can inject fluid into your body and cause an extremely serious injury, including the need for amputation. Splashing fluid in the eyes or on the skin can also cause serious injury.

•Fluid injected into the skin might look like just a cut, but is a serious injury. 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 spray tip. Do not stop or deflect fluid leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.

•Never spray without the tip guard in place.

•Lock the trigger safety when you stop spraying.

•Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, page 24, when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking, or repairing equipment.

•Check the hoses and couplings daily. Replace worn, damaged, or loose parts immediately. Permanently coupled hoses cannot be repaired; replace the entire hose.

•Tighten all fluid connections before each use.
