WARN ING
Fire, Explosion, and Electric Shock Hazard
The nozzle contact ring (7a) is a conductive
contact ring, not a sealing o-ring. To reduce
the risk of sparking or electric shock, do not
remove the nozzle contact ring (7a) except
to replace it and never operate the gun with-
out the contact ring in place. Do not replace
the contact ring with anything but a genuine
Graco part.
