WARNING
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 ground wire that will conduct the static electricity to earth
ground. The sprayer and all objects in spray area must be properly grounded to protect against static
discharge, sparks or shocks.
• Connect the ground wire 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
earth ground with the ground wire provided.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Clamp sprayer ground wire to earth ground.
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 liquids in a confined area.
• Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through the area.
• Paint or solvent flowing through the sprayer is able to result in static electricity. Static electricity creates
a risk of fire or explosion in the presence of paint or solvent fumes. The sprayer and all objects in spray
area shall be properly grounded to protect against static discharge, sparks, or shocks.
• Always connect the ground wire provided when spraying flammable materials or static producing
oil-based materials. See Grounding Instructions above.
• If there is static sparking or you feel a shock, stop operation immediately and connect sprayer to earth
ground with the ground wire provided.
• Do not spray flammable or combustible materials near open flame or sources of ignition such as
cigarettes, external motors, and electrical equipment.
• Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark producing products in the spray area.
• Do not smoke in the spray area.
• Keep spray 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 instructions.
