Tool Description

Powder coating with the Model T25100 is a superior alternative finishing process to wet painting on metal parts. A few of the advantages of powder coating are high durability, high-impact and stress resistance, and uniform control of finish.

The powder coating process uses a dry, finelyground polymer of various types and mixtures that is electrically charged and applied onto the metal workpiece through electrical attraction. After completing the powder application, the finish must be cured (baked) in a dedicated electric oven.

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to avoid accidental slips, which could cause loss of workpiece control.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created while using machinery may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece material, and always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hearing protection when operating or observing loud machinery. Extended exposure to this noise without hearing protection can cause permanent hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on machinery can become dangerous projectiles upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches, or any other tools on machine. Always verify removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use this tool for its intended purpose—do not force it or an attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. Never make unapproved modifications—modifying tool or using it differently than intended may result in malfunction or mechanical failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing and balance at all times when operating machine. Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions that make workpiece control difficult or increase the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance from the work area. Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine. It will do the job safer and better at the rate for which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement during operation greatly increases risk of injury or loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for recommended accessories. Using improper accessories will increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and ensure all moving parts completely stop before walking away. Never leave machine running while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance instructions and lubrication schedules to keep machine in good working condition. A machine that is improperly maintained could malfunction, leading to serious personal injury or death.

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine for any condition that may affect safe operation. Immediately repair or replace damaged or mis-adjusted parts before operating machine.

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnecting cord-connected machines from power, grab and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord may damage the wires inside. Do not handle cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce accidental contact with moving parts or flying debris. Make sure they are properly installed, undamaged, and working correctly.

Additional Safety for Powder Coating

Systems

ELECTROSTATIC GROUNDING. The powder

coating system electrically charges the powder and gun during application. To prevent electrical shock or dust explosion from electrostatic sparks, make sure that the power circuit, control box, and workpiece are well grounded. Make sure your body is well grounded to an earth ground, not the powder coating system—use a grounding strap if standing on non-grounded or insulated surface.

PERSONAL HEALTH. Powder used in this tool can cause eye, lung, and skin injuries with sustained exposure. Always wear ANSI-approved goggles/face mask, NIOSH-approved respirator, non-insulating gloves, and anti-static clothing that will protect your skin when handling the powder and during application.

DUST EXPLOSION. The finely-ground powder is flammable when floating in the air. Stay at least 50 feet away from any ignition source (e.g., open flame, hot water heater, welder, etc.) when handling the powder or during operation. Keep a multi-class fire extinguisher in the immediate work area.

AIR PRESSURE. Using air pressure with this tool that exceeds 30 PSI could cause the spray gun to break apart, which could result in impact injury or explosion. Never exceed 30 PSI of air pressure during operation.

ELECTRIC SHOCK. To avoid electrical shock when tool is connected to power, never touch conductor pole that protrudes from the gun nose—the conductor pole is electrically charged! After turning the control box OFF, touch the conductor pole to the grounding clip to discharge current. NEVER touch the metal workpiece during operation—it is also electrically charged! Do not use tool if you have electronic medical devices (e.g., pacemaker).

CURING FUMES. The fumes produced during curing can cause severe eye, lung, and skin injuries. Always make sure the oven is well-ventilated. Always wear ANSI approved goggles/face mask, respirator, and clothing that will protect your skin when exposed to curing fumes. DO NOT use a gas oven that could cause the fumes to explode— only use an electric oven. DO NOT use an oven that will be used for cooking food. Always keep the oven at least 50 feet away from any ignition source during the curing process—the fumes are volatile!

No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other equipment with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.
