To avoid serious injury from fire and explosion
when using oil-based or flammable materials:
•
Do not spray solvents through the spray
tip. Always remove tip guard and spray tip
before flushing. Clean tip guard and spray
tip in a bucket of compatible solvent.
•
Clean in a well-ventilated area. Keep a
good supply of fresh air moving through
the area.
•
When flushing with solvents, always
ground the sprayer and waste container.
