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.
