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:
• Sprayer generates sparks. Do not spray or flush with flammable liquids.
• Use only water-based materials.
• Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through the area.
• Do not spray or clean with flammable liquids.
• 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.
• Keep sprayer at least 10 in. (25 cm) away from objects while spraying or flushing.
• Verify all containers and collection systems are grounded to prevent static discharge.
• Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded extension cords. Do not use a 3 to 2 adapter.
• Do not use paints or solvents containing halogenated hydrocarbons.
• Do not smoke in the spray area.
• 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 (SDS) and conta-
iner labels provided with the paints and solvents. Follow the paint and solvents manufacturer's safety instruc-
tions.
• Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High-pressure spray is able to inject toxins into the body and cause serious bodily injury. In the event that
injection occurs, get immediate surgical treatment.
• Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person or animal.
• Keep hands and other body parts away from the discharge. For example, do not try to stop leaks with any
part of the body.
• Always use the spray tip guard. Do not spray without spray tip guard in place.
• Use STORCH spray tips.
• Use caution when cleaning and changing spray tips. In the case where the spray tip clogs while spraying,
follow the Pressure Relief Procedure for turning off the unit and relieving the pressure before removing the
spray tip to clean.
• Do not leave the equipment energized or under pressure while unattended. Remove battery and follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure when the equipment is unattended or not in use, and before servicing, cleaning, or
removing parts.
• Check parts for signs of damage. Replace any damaged parts.
