bol alerts you to a general warning and the hazard symbols refer to procedure-specific risks. When these symbols appear in the
body of this manual, refer back to these Warnings. Product-specific hazard symbols and warnings not covered in this section may

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. For A30 and A45 models: 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.

All electrical wiring must be done by a qualified electrician and comply with all local codes and regulations.
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
Fluid from the gun/dispense valve, leaks, or ruptured components can splash in the eyes or on skin and cause
serious injury.
•

Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
•
Check hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
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.

•
Engage trigger lock when not spraying.
