equipment. The exclamation point symbol alerts you to a general warning and the hazard
symbols refer to procedure-specific risks. When these symbols appear in the body of this
manual or on warning labels, refer back to these Warnings. Product-specific hazard symbols
andwarningsnotcovered in this section mayappear throughoutthebody ofthismanualwhere
applicable.
GROUNDING
This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric
current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an
appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
•Improper installation of the grounding plug is able to result in a risk of electric shock.
•When repair or replacement of the cord or plug is required, do not connect the grounding
wire to either flat blade terminal.
•Thewirewithinsulationhaving anouter surfacethat isgreenwithor withoutyellow stripes
is the grounding wire.
•Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman when the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or when in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
•Do not modify the plug provided; if it does not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
•This product is for use on a nominal 120Vor 230V circuitand has agrounding plug similar
to the plugs illustrated below.
•Only connect the product to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
•Do not use an adapter with this product.
Extension Cords:
•Useonlya3-wireextensioncordthathasagroundingplugandagroundingreceptaclethat
accepts the plug on the product.
•Make sure your extension cord is not damaged. If an extension cord is necessary use 12
AWG (2.5mm2) minimum to carry the current that the product draws.
•An undersized cord results in a drop in line voltage and loss of power and overheating.

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:
•Donotsprayorcleanwithmaterialshavingflashpointslowerthan100°F(38°C).Use
only non-flammable or water-based materials, or non-flammable paint thinners. For
completeinformationaboutyourmaterial,requesttheSafetyData 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.
