Warnings
Warnings
The following warnings are for the setup, use, grounding, maintenance, and repair of this
equipment. The exclamation point symbol alerts you to a general warning and the hazard
symbols refer to procedure-specific risks. When these symbols appear in the body of this
manual or on warning labels, refer back to these Warnings. Product-specific hazard symbols
and warnings not covered in this section may appear throughout the body of this manual where
applicable.
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 is a serious injury that can result in amputation. Get immediate
surgical treatment.
• Do not spray without tip guard and trigger guard installed.
• Engage trigger lock when not spraying.
• Do not point gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
• Do not put your hand over the spray tip.
• Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
• Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop spraying and before cleaning,
checking, or servicing equipment.
• Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
• Check hoses and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. Paint
or solvent flowing through the equipment can cause static sparking. 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 cloths (potential static sparking).
• Ground all equipment in the work area. See Grounding instructions.
• Never spray or flush solvent at high pressure.
• 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 w hen flammable
fumes are present.
• Use only grounded hoses.
• Hold gun firmly to side of grounded pail when triggering into pail. Do not use pail liners
unless they are anti-static or conductive.
• Stop operation immediately if static sparking occurs or you feel a shock. Do not use
equipment until you identify and correct the problem.
• Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.

Warnings
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Misuse can cause death or serious injury.
• Always wear appropriate gloves, eye protection, and a respirator or mask when painting.
• Do not operate or spray near children. Keep children away from equipment at all times.

Graco.
• Do not use the hose as a strength member to pull or lift the equipment.
• Do not spray with a hose shorter than 25 feet.
• Do not alter or modify equipment. Alterations or modifications may void agency approvals
and create safety hazards.
•
Make sure all equipment is rated and approved for the environment in which you are using it.
PRESSURIZED ALUMINUM PARTS HAZARD
Use of fluids that are incompatible with aluminum in pressurized equipment can cause serious
chemical reaction and equipment rupture. Failure to follow this warning can result in death,
serious injury, or property damage.
• Do not use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon
solvents or fluids containing such solvents.
• Do not use chlorine bleach.
• Many other fluids may contain chemicals that can react with aluminum. Contact your
material supplier for compatibility.

Wear appropriate protective equipment when in the work area to help prevent serious injury,
including eye injury, hearing loss, inhalation of toxic fumes, and burns. This protective
equipment includes but is not limited to:
• Protective eyewear, and hearing protection.
• Respirators, protective clothing, and gloves as recommended by the fluid and solvent
manufacturer.

Pressure Relief Procedure
Follow the Pressure Relief
Procedure whenever you see this
symbol.
This equipment stays pressurized until
pressure is manually relieved. To help
prevent serious injury from pressurized
fluid, such as skin injection or splashed
fluid, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever sprayer is stopped
and before sprayer is cleaned or checked,
and before equipment is serviced.
1.Turn sprayer OFF.
2.Engage the trigger lock. Always engage
the trigger lock when sprayer is stopped
to prevent the gun from being triggered
accidentally.

setting.
4.Put drain tube into a waste pail and turn
Prime/Spray valve in PRIME position
(drain) to relieve pressure.
5.Hold the gun firmly to a pail. Point gun
into pail. Disengage the trigger lock and
trigger the gun to relieve pressure.
7.If you suspect the spray tip or hose is
clogged or that pressure has not been
fully relieved:
a.VERY SLOWLY loosen the tip
guard retaining nut or the hose end
coupling to relieve pressure
gradually.
b.Loosen the nut or coupling
completely.
c.Clear airless hose or spray tip
obstruction. See Clear Spray Tip
