FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and material 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.
• Material 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
material 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 material 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 material 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 a 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 material or solvent containers, rags, and other
flammable materials.
• Know the contents of the materials and solvents being sprayed. Read all Safety
Data Sheets (SDSs) and container labels provided with the materials and
solvents. Follow the material and solvents manufacturer’s safety instructions.
• Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
This equipment must be grounded. Improper grounding, setup, or usage of the
system can cause electric shock.
• Turn off and disconnect power cord before servicing equipment.
• Connect only to grounded electrical outlets.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords.
• Ensure ground prongs are intact on power and extension cords.
• Do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
• Wait five minutes after disconnecting power cord before servicing.
