FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

A Fire and explosion hazard exists
any time you spray or flush flam­mable fluids.

To help prevent fire or explosion when
spraying flammable fluids

D Be sure sprayer is adequately grounded

through electrical outlet as follows:

– Use only grounded electrical outlets.
– Use only 3-wire extension cords.
– Make sure ground prongs are intact

on sprayer and extension cords.

D Motor in this sprayer is a source of

sparks. Keep sprayer in well-ventilated
area, at least 20 feet (6 meters) away
from gun when spraying or flushing.

D Do not use plastic drop cloths when

spraying or flushing flammable fluids.

D Avoid all ignition sources, such as pilot

lights, cigarettes, and plastic drop cloths
(static arc hazard). Do not plug in or
unplug power cords or turn lights on or
off in spray area.

D Tape wall switches to prevent them from being turned

off or on.

D Do not smoke in spray area.
D Use only M
D Use outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.

AGNUM or Graco airless paint hoses.

FLUID INJECTION HAZARD

If high-pressure fluid pierces skin,
the injury might look like “just a cut”
but is a serious wound. Get
immediate medical attention.

To help prevent injection

D Always put trigger safety lever in SAFETY

ON position when not spraying.

D Always shut off power and relieve pressure

when you stop spraying and before you
service or clean sprayer, remove parts, or
repair leaks. See Pressure Relief
Procedure below.

D Do not allow children to use this equipment.
D Keep clear of tip, and never point gun at

yourself or anyone else.

STARTUP HAZARD AFTER THERMAL OVERLOAD

Motor has thermal overload switch to
shut itself down if overheated. To reduce risk of injury
from motor restarting unexpectedly when it cools, always
turn Power switch OFF if motor shuts down.

FLUID SPLASHBACK HAZARD

To avoid splashing fluid when spraying
into pail, always aim at inside wall of pail.

Make sure gun is assembled with correct
gasket for fluid being sprayed. See Instal-

ling Tip & Guard in enclosed Operator’s Quick Guide.

SAFETY ON

EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD

Do not use 1,1,1–trichloroethane, methylene
chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon
solvents or fluids containing such solvents
in pressurized aluminum equipment such as
this sprayer and gun. Such use could result in
chemical reaction and possible explosion.

TOXIC FLUID HAZARD

Hazardous fluid or toxic fumes can cause
serious injury or death if splashed in eyes
eyes or on skin, inhaled, or swallowed.

To help prevent injury or death from
toxic fluids

D Know specific hazards of fluid you are using; store

hazardous fluid in approved tub; dispose of
hazardous fluid according to all local, state, and
national guidelines.

D Always wear protective eyewear, gloves, clothing, and

respirator as recommended by fluid and solvent
manufacturer.

Pressure Relief Procedure (See Fluid Injection Hazard above)

1. Turn Power switch OFF.

2. Place prime tube

in waste pail.

PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD

M

AGNUM sprayers are capable of

producing up to 3000 psi (21 MPa, 207 bar)
maximum working pressure. To avoid
component rupture and injury, do not operate sprayer
with components rated less than pressure of sprayer.

Sprayer is equipped with a pressure drain that
automatically relieves overpressure in the event of a fault
condition. This automatic pressure relief may cause
splashing of fluid. Correct fault before you resume spraying.

NOTE: Inadequate flushing and/or dried paint in drain
system may prevent proper overpressure relief.

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

Gun, hose, and sprayer are grounded
through electrical cord of sprayer.

To help prevent electric shock

D Use only grounded electrical outlets.
D Only use 3-wire extension cords.
D Make sure ground prongs are intact on sprayer and

extension cords.

D Keep electrical connections and inside of shroud dry.

3. Turn Spray/Prime valve to
PRIME (pointing down) to
relieve pump
pressure.

4. Align the (bucket) symbol on
the pressure control knob and the
arrow on the sprayer.
