Grounding
The equipment must be grounded to reduce the
risk of static sparking and electric shock. Electric
or static sparking can cause fumes to ignite or
explode. Improper grounding can cause electric
shock. Grounding provides an escape wire for the
electric current.

Connect the other end of the ground wire to a
true earth ground.
3.
Ground the object being sprayed, fluid supply
container, and all other equipment in the
work area. Follow your local code. Use only
electrically conductive air and fluid hoses.
4.
Ground all solvent pails. Use only metal pails,
which are conductive, placed on a grounded
surface. Do not place pail on a non-conductive
surface, such as paper or cardboard, which
interrupts grounding continuity.
