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:
X5/X7 Models:
• Do not spray or clean with materials having flash points lower than 100°F (38° C). Use only
non-flammable or water-based materials, or non-flammable paint thinners. For complete
information about your material, request the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) from the material
distributor or retailer.
• Do not spray combustible materials near an open flame or sources of ignition such as
cigarettes, motors, and electrical equipment.
• Do not spray combustible liquids in a confined area.
ProX Models:
• Do not spray flammable or combustible materials near an open flame or sources of ignition
such as cigarettes, motors, and electrical equipment.
• Do not spray flammable or combustible liquids in a confined area.
All Models:
• Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is able to result in static electricity. Static
electricity creates a risk of fire or explosion in the presence of paint or solvent fumes. All
parts of the spray system, including the pump, hose assembly, spray gun, and objects in
and around the spray area shall be properly grounded to protect against static discharge
and sparks. Use Graco conductive or grounded high-pressure airless paint sprayer hoses.
• Verify that all containers and collection systems are grounded to prevent static discharge.
Do not use pail liners unless they are anti-static or conductive.
• Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded extensions cords. Do not use a 3-to-2
adapter.
• Do not use a paint or a solvent containing halogenated hydrocarbons.
• Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through the area.
• Sprayer generates sparks. Keep pump assembly in a well ventilated area a least 20 feet
(6.1 m) from the spray area when spraying, flushing, cleaning, or servicing. Do not spray
pump assembly.
• Do not smoke in the spray area or spray where sparks or flame is present.
• Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark producing products in the spray
area.
• Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags, and other flammable
materials.
• Know the contents of the paints and solvents being sprayed. Read all Safety Data Sheets
(SDSs) and container labels provided with the paints and solvents. Follow the paint and
solvents manufacturer’s safety instructions.
• Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
