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:
•
Use equipment only in well ventilated area.
•
Sprayer generates sparks. When flammable liquids are used near the sprayer or for flushing or cleaning, keep
sprayer at least 20 feet (6 meters) away from explosive vapors.
•
Do not clean with materials having flash points lower than 70° F (21° C). Use water-based material or mineral
spirits-type material only. For complete information about your fluid, request the MSDS from the fluid distributor
or retailer.
•
Eliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot lights, cigarettes, portable electric lamps, and plastic drop cloths
(potential static arc).
•
Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and gasoline.
•
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.
•
If there is static sparking or you feel a shock, stop operation immediately. Do not use equipment until you
identify and correct the problem.
•
Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High-pressure fluid from gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components will pierce skin. This may look like just a cut, but it
