Grounding

Check your local electrical code and propor-

tioner manual for detailed grounding instruc-

tions.

Ground the spray gun through connection to a

Graco-approved grounded fluid supply hose.

To prevent accidental gun operation, always

disconnect air supply before servicing gun or

anytime gun is not in use.

Spraying materials containing isocyanates

creates potentially harmful mists, vapors,

and atomized particulates.

Read material manufacturer’s warnings and

material MSDS to know specific hazards

and precautions related to isocyanates.

Prevent inhalation of isocyanate mists,

vapors, and atomized particulates by provid-

ing sufficient ventilation in the work area. If

sufficient ventilation is not available, a sup-

plied-air respirator is required for everyone in

the work area.

To prevent contact with isocyanates, appro-

priate personal protective equipment, includ-

ing chemically impermeable gloves, boots,

aprons, and goggles, is also required for

everyone in the work area.

CAUTION

To prevent cross-contamination of the gun’s

wetted parts, do not interchange A compo-

nent (isocyanate) and B component (resin)

parts. The gun is shipped with the A side on

the left.
