FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. Paint or
solvent flowing through the equipment can cause static sparking. To help prevent fire and explosion:
• Use equipment only in well-ventilated area.
• Do not fill fuel tank while engine is running or hot; shut off engine and let it cool. Leave 5/8 inch (16
mm) at top of tank for fuel expansion. Fuel is flammable and can ignite or explode if spilled on hot
surface.
• Eliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot lights, cigarettes, portable electric lamps, and plastic drop
cloths (potential static sparking).
• Ground all equipment in the work area. See Grounding instructions in primary operation manual
(3A6400).
• Never spray or flush solvent at high pressure.
• Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and gasoline.
• Do not plug or unplug power cords, or turn power or light switches on or off when flammable fumes
are present.
• Use only grounded hoses.
• Hold gun firmly to side of grounded pail when triggering into pail. Do not use pail liners unless they
are anti-static or conductive.
• Stop operation immediately if static sparking occurs or you feel a shock. Do not use equipment until
you identify and correct the problem.
• Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.
