cloths (potential static arc).

Do not plug or unplug power cords, or turn power or light switches on or off when flammable fumes
are present.
Ground all equipment in the work area. See Grounding instructions.
Use only grounded hoses.
Hold gun firmly to side of grounded pail when triggering into pail. Do not use pail liners unless they

that injection occurs, get immediate surgical treatment.
