Never spray or flush solvent at high pressure.
•
Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and gasoline.
•
Do not plug or unplug power cords, or turn power or light switches on or off when flammable fumes
are present.

•
Stop operation immediately
if static sparking occurs or you feel a shock
.
Do not use equipment
until you identify and correct the problem.
•
Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.
