Warnings
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.
•
Only use water-based or mineral spirit-type materials with a flash point greater than 70° F (21° C).
•
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.
•
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.
•
Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through the area. Keep pump assembly
in a well ventilated area. Do not spray pump assembly.
•
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.
•
Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
•
Sprayer generates sparks. When flammable liquid is used in or near the sprayer or for flushing or cleaning, keep
sprayer at least 20 feet (6 m) away from explosive vapors.
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 at main switch before disconnecting any cables and before servicing equipment.
•
Connect only to grounded power source.
•
All electrical wiring must be done by a qualified electrician and comply with all local codes and regulations.
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High-pressure fluid from gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components will pierce skin. This may look like just a cut, but
it is a serious injury that can result in amputation. Get immediate surgical treatment.
•
Do not spray without tip guard and trigger guard installed.
•
Engage trigger lock when not spraying.
•
Do not point gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
•
Do not put your hand over the spray tip.

Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
•
Check hoses and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD
Toxic fluids or fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on skin, inhaled, or swallowed.
