FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. To help prevent fire and explo-
sion:
• Do not spray flammable or combustible materials near an open flame or sources of ignition such as cigarettes,
motors, and electrical equipment.
• 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.
• Know the contents of the paints and solvents being sprayed. Read all Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and
container labels provided with the paints and solvents. Follow the paint and solvents manufacturer's safety instruc-
tions.
• 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
Improper grounding, setup, or usage of the system can cause electric shock.
• Turn off and disconnect power cord before servicing equipment.
• Use only grounded electrical outlets.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords.
• Ensure ground prongs are intact on sprayer and extension cords.
• Do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
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.
• Read MSDS's to know the specific hazards of the fluids you are using.
• Store hazardous fluid in approved containers, and dispose of it according to applicable guidelines.
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Misuse can cause death or serious injury.
• Always wear appropriate gloves, eye protection, and a respirator or mask when painting.
• Do not operate or spray near children. Keep children away from equipment at all times.
• Do not overreach or stand on an unstable support. Keep effective footing and balance at all times.
• Stay alert and watch what you are doing.
• Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Do not kink or over-bend the hose.
• Do not expose the hose to temperatures or to pressures in excess of those specified by Graco.
• Do not use the hose as a strength member to pull or lift the equipment.
PRESSURIZED ALUMINUM PARTS HAZARD
Do not use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or fluids containing such
solvents in pressurized aluminum equipment. Such use can cause serious chemical reaction and equipment rupture,
and result in death, serious injury, and property damage.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
You must wear appropriate protective equipment when operating, servicing, or when in the operating area of the equip-
ment to help protect you from serious injury, including eye injury, inhalation of toxic fumes, burns, and hearing loss. This
equipment includes but is not limited to:
• Protective eyewear and hearing protection
