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:
• Sprayer generates sparks. Do not spray or flush with flammable liquids.
• Use only non-flammable or water-based materials, or non-flammable paint thinners.
• Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through the area.
• When spraying oil-based material, use outdoors or in a well-ventilated indoor area with a flow of fresh air.
• Do not spray or flush with combustible materials near an open flame or sources of ignition.
• 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.
• Keep sprayer at least 10 in. (25 cm) away from objects while spraying or flushing.
• Verify all containers and collection systems are grounded to prevent static discharge.
• Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded extension cords. Do not use a 3 to 2 adapter.
• Do not use paints or solvents containing halogenated hydrocarbons.
• Do not smoke in the spray area.
• 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 (SDS) and container
labels provided with the paints and solvents. Follow the paint and solvents manufacturer's safety instructions.
• Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High-pressure spray is able to inject toxins into the body and cause serious bodily injury. In the event that injection
occurs, get immediate surgical treatment.
• Do not aim the sprayer at, or spray any person or animal.
• Keep hands and other body parts away from the discharge. For example, do not try to stop leaks with any part of
the body.
• Always use the nozzle tip guard. Do not spray without nozzle tip guard in place. Use Graco nozzle tips.
• Use caution when cleaning and changing nozzle tips. In the case where the nozzle tip clogs while spraying,
remove battery and follow the Pressure Relief Procedure for relieving the pressure before removing the nozzle
tip to clean.
• Do not leave the equipment energized or under pressure while unattended. Remove battery and follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure when the equipment is unattended or not in use, and before servicing, cleaning, or
removing parts.
• Check parts for signs of damage. Replace any damaged parts.
• This system is capable of producing 2000 psi. Use replacement parts or accessories that are rated a minimum
of 2000 psi.
• Always engage the trigger lock when not spraying. Verify the trigger lock is functioning properly. Do not carry the
tool with a finger on the trigger.
• Verify that all connections are secure before operating the unit.
• Know how to stop the unit and bleed pressure quickly. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls.
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Misuse can cause death or serious injury.
