necessary, use a 3-wire, 12 AWG (2.5 mm2)
minimum.
NOTE: Smaller gauge or longer extension
cords may reduce sprayer performance.
Pails
Solvent and oil-based fluids: follow local
code. Use only conductive metal pails,
placed on a grounded surface such as
concrete.
Do not place pail on a non-conductive surface
such as paper or cardboard which interrupts
grounding continuity.
Always ground a metal pail: connect a
ground wire to the pail. Clamp one end to the
pail and the other end to a true earth ground
such as a water pipe.
To maintain ground continuity when
sprayer is flushed or pressure is relieved:
hold metal part of spray gun firmly to the side
of a grounded metal pail then trigger the gun.
The equipment must be grounded to
reduce the risk of static sparking and
electric shock. An electric or static spark
can cause fumes to ignite or explode. An
improper ground can cause electric shock.
A good ground provides an escape wire for
the electric current.
