WARNING
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 cre-
ates 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 grounding cord provided when spraying flammable materials or static producing
oil-based materials. See Grounding Instructions, page 3.
If there is static sparking or you feel a shock, stop operation immediately and connect sprayer to a
properly grounded electrical outlet with the ground wire provided.
Do not spray flammable or combustible materials near open flame or sources of ignition such as cig-
arettes, 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.
Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High-pressure spray is able to inject toxins into the body and cause serious bodily injury. In the event that
injection occurs, get immediate surgical treatment.
Do not aim the sprayer at, or spray any person or animal.
Keep hands and other body parts away from the discharge. For example, do not try to stop leaks with
any part of the body.
Always engage the trigger lock when not spraying. Verify the trigger lock is functioning properly.
Always use the spray tip guard. Do not spray without spray tip guard in place.
Use caution when cleaning and changing spray tips. In the case where the spray tip clogs while
spraying, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure for relieving the pressure before reversing or remov-
ing the spray tip to clean.
Do not leave the unit energized or under pressure while unattended. When the unit is not in use, fol-
low the Pressure Relief Procedure and engage the trigger lock.
Check parts for signs of damage. Replace any damaged parts with genuine Graco parts.
This system is capable of producing 1700 psi. Use replacement parts or accessories that are rated a
minimum of 1700 psi.
Do not carry the sprayer with a finger on the trigger.
Verify that all connections are secure before operating the unit.
Know how to stop the unit and bleed pressure quickly. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls.
