WARNING
FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. To help prevent fire
and explosion:
• Electrostatic equipment must be used only by trained, qualified personnel who understand the require-
ments of this manual.
• Ground equipment, personnel, object being sprayed, and conductive objects in work area. See
Grounding instructions.
• Only use grounded Graco conductive air supply hoses.
• Check gun and hose resistance and electrical grounding daily.
• Use and clean equipment only in well ventilated area.
• Interlock the gun air supply to prevent operation unless ventilating fans are on.
• Use cleaning solvents with highest possible flash point when flushing or cleaning equipment. To com-
ply with EN50050 requirements, cleaning solvents must have a flash point at least 5°C above ambient
temperature.
• Always turn the electrostatics off when flushing, cleaning or servicing equipment.
• If there is static sparking or you feel a shock, stop operation immediately. Do not use equipment until
you identify and correct the problem.
• Eliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot lights, cigarettes, portable electric lamps, and plastic drop
cloths (potential static arc).
• Do not plug or unplug power cords or turn lights on or off when flammable fumes are present.
• Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and gasoline.
• Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
This equipment must be grounded. Improper grounding, setup, or usage of the system can cause electric
shock.
• Turn off air supply before servicing equipment.
• All electrical wiring must be done by a qualified electrician and comply with all local codes and
regulations.
• Do not touch gun electrode when electrostatics are on.
• Do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
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.
• Follow Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual, when you stop spraying and before cleaning,
checking, or servicing equipment.
• Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
• Check hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
