Electrical Safety Tips
Electrical Safety Dos
• Make sure you, your work area, and your equipment are dry.
• If you are using an extension cord, make sure it is a grounded cord in sound
condition with no damage or frays, and of the correct wire gauge.
Electrical Safety Don’ts
• Never bypass the ground plug. Grounding is important for operation of the
unit and prevents shock.
•
Do not touch the emitter until after the activation switch is released and
the emitter has been touched to the ground clip to discharge the emitter.
• Once you are spraying the part with the powder, avoid touching the gun
to the part or other grounded objects.
• Do not step on, kink, or pull the wires. Before using the gun inspect
the condition of all wires.
• Do not touch or hold the part while coating.
Before you begin using the HotCoat™ Powder Coating System make sure
you have the following:
• An electric oven or toaster oven large enough to fit the parts you will be
coating. If you’ll occasionally be coating larger parts, you may want one of
our
Infrared Light Curing Systems (#10180 and #10680).
Do not use an
oven used for food preparation or located in a living area, as mildly toxic
fumes are given off by the powder during the curing process! Do not use
a gas oven!
Used ovens can be obtained very easily for little or no money by
checking your local newspaper classified section or by calling appliance
stores and remodelers in your area.
• An air supply source for the gun. A modest air compressor capable of at least
.5 cfm at 5-8 psi. You can even use a portable air tank with regulator. The air
supply must be dry and the use of a moisture trap is strongly recommended.
• A grounded 110-120VAC outlet or heavy-duty grounded extension cord
to plug in the 6’ power cord.
NOTE:
Unit must be grounded to work
properly and safely!
• A clean, safe, well-lit, well-ventilated work area.
• An activated charcoal respirator like our
Professional Respirator (#34229)
to wear while the coating is being cured.
• A dust mask like our
Dust Mask (#13000)
to wear while handling and applying powder.
• Disposable vinyl or
Nitrile gloves (#43098 M, L, XL)
to handle powder
and cleaned parts.
• A pair of
Goggles (#43090)
to provide eye protection during coating
and gun cleaning operations.
