The following warnings are for the setup, use, maintenance, and repair of this equipment. The exclamation point
symbol alerts you to a general warning and the hazard symbols refer to procedure-specific risks. When these sym-

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD (GROUNDING)
Some oil-based and flammable materials generate static electricity when sprayed. Static electricity creates
an explosion and fire risk. Your sprayer has a grounding cord that will conduct the static electricity to a
grounded electrical outlet. The sprayer and all objects in spray area shall be properly grounded to protect
against static discharge, sparks or shocks.
• Connect the grounding cord when spraying flammable or static producing oil-based materials.
• If there is static sparking or if you feel a shock, stop spraying immediately and connect the sprayer to a
properly grounded electrical outlet with the ground wire provided.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Move the sprayer away
from the spray area to
a non-hazardous
location. Plug the
ground wire
into the sprayer.
