The following are general WARNINGS related to the setup, use, grounding, maintenance
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvents and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. To
help prevent fire and explosion:
- Use equipment only in well ventilated area.
- Eliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot lights, cigarettes, portable electric
lamps, and plastic drop clothes (potential static arc.).
- Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and gasoline.
- Sprayers generate sparks. When flammable liquid is used in or near sprayer or for
flushing or cleaning, keep sprayer at least 20 feet (6m) away from
explosive vapors.
- Do not plug or unplug power cords or turn lights on or off when flammable fumes
are present.
- Ground equipment and conductive objects in work area.
- If there is static sparking or you feel a shock, stop operating immediately. Do not
use equipment until you identify and correct the problem.
- Keep a fire extinguisher in the work area.
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High pressure fluid from spray gun, hose leaks or ruptured components will pierce skin. This
