Product-specific hazard symbols and warnings not covered in this section may appear throughout the body of this
manual where applicable.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. Paint or solvent
flowing through the equipment can cause static sparking. To help prevent fire, explosion, and electric
shock:
• Electrostatic equipment must be used only by trained, qualified personnel who understand the
requirements of this manual.
• Ground all equipment, personnel, object being sprayed, and conductive objects in or close to spray
area. Resistance must not exceed 1 megohm. See Grounding instructions.
• Only use grounded Graco conductive air supply hoses.
• Do not use pail liners unless they are conductive and grounded.
• Stop operation immediately if static sparking occurs or you feel a shock. Do not use equipment until
you identify and correct the problem.
• Check gun resistance, hose resistance, and electrical grounding daily.
• Use and clean equipment only in well ventilated area.
• Interlock the gun air and fluid supply to prevent operation unless ventilation air flow is above the
minimum required value.
• Use only Group IIA or Group D materials.
• Never spray of flush solvent at high pressure.
• To clean the exterior of the equipment, cleaning solvents must have a flash point at least
15°C or 59° F above ambient temperature. Non-ignitable fluids are preferred.
• Always turn the electrostatics off when flushing, cleaning or servicing equipment.
• Eliminate all ignition sources such as pilot lights, cigarettes, portable electric lamps, and plastic drop
cloths (potential static sparking).
• 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 the spray area clean at all times. Use non-sparking tools to clean residue from the booth and
hangers.
• Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
Fluid from the equipment, leaks, or ruptured components can splash in the eyes or on skin and cause
serious injury.
• Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop spraying/dispensing and before cleaning,
checking, or servicing equipment.
• Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
• Check hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
