Explosion or fire - Solvent and paint fumes can explode or

ignite, causing property damage and or severe injury.

WARNING

HAZARD

PREVENTION

• Exhaust and fresh air introduction must be provided to

keep the air within the spray area free from accumulation
of flammable vapors.

• Avoid all ignition sources such as static electricity sparks,

open flames such as pilot lights, hot objects such as
cigarettes, and sparks from connecting and disconnect-
ing power cords and working light switches.

• Fire extinguishing equipment must be present and in

working order.

• Keep the pump away from spray area to avoid solvent

and paint fumes. The pump contains arcing parts which
emit sparks.

• Do not spray paints and other inflammable fluids which

have a flashpoint below 21

° C (70° F). (Flashpoint is the

temperature at which a fluid begins giving off a sufficient
amount of flammable vapor that could ignite when ex-
posed to a flame or spark.)

• High velocity flow of material through equipment may

develop static electricity. The equipment being used, and
objects in and around the spray area must be properly
grounded to prevent static discharge and sparks.

• Use only conductive or grounded high pressure fluid

hoses for airless applications. Be sure that gun is grounded
through hose connections.

• Power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit.

(See proper grounding instructions.)

• Follow the material and solvent manufacturer's safety

precautions and warnings.

• WHEN FLUSHING EQUIPMENT use lowest possible

pressure.
