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:
• Do not spray flammable or combustible materials near an open flame or sources of
ignition such as cigarettes, motors, and electrical equipment.
• Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is able to result in static electricity. Static
electricity creates a risk of fire or explosion in the presence of paint or solvent fumes.
All parts of the spray system, including the pump, hose assembly, spray gun, and
objects in and around the spray area shall be properly grounded to protect against static
discharge and sparks. Use Graco conductive or grounded high-pressure airless paint
sprayer hoses.
• Verify that all containers and collection systems are grounded to prevent static
discharge. Do not use pail liners unless they are anti-static or conductive.
• Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded extensions cords. Do not use a 3-to-2
adapter.
• Do not use a paint or a solvent containing halogenated hydrocarbons.
• Do not spray flammable or combustible liquids in a confined area.
• Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through the
area.
• Sprayer generates sparks. Keep pump assembly in a well-ventilated area at least 20
feet (6.1 m) from the spray area when spraying, flushing, cleaning, or servicing. Do not
spray pump assembly.
• Do not smoke in the spray area or spray where sparks or flame is present.
• Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark producing products in the spray
area.
• Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags, and other flammable
materials.
• Know the contents of the paints and solvents being sprayed. Read all Safety Data
Sheets (SDSs) and container labels provided with the paints and solvents. Follow the
paint and solvent manufacturer’s safety instructions.
• Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.
