Operation Overview

The purpose of this overview is to provide the novice operator with a basic understanding of how the tool is used during operation, so the tool con- trols/components discussed later in this manual are easier to understand.

Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn more about specific operations, read this entire manual and seek additional training from expe- rienced operators, and do additional research outside of this manual by reading "how to" books, trade magazines, or websites.

To reduce your risk of serious injury, read this entire manual BEFORE using this tool.

Eye injuries, respiratory problems, or skin damage can occur while operating this tool. Wear approved safety goggles, respirator, non-insulating gloves, and anti-static cloth- ing to protect your skin.

If you are not experienced with this type of equipment, We strongly recommend that you seek additional training outside of this manual. Read books/magazines or get formal training before beginning any proj- ects. Regardless of the content in this sec- tion, Grizzly Industrial will not be held liable for accidents caused by lack of training.

Model T25100 (Mfg. Since 8/12)

To complete a typical operation, the operator does the following:

1.Examines the metal workpiece to make sure it is dry, clean, and suitable for powder coat- ing. Sandblasting the workpiece is one effi- cient method of cleaning it.

2.Places the workpiece on a stable surface or securely hangs it in a dry, clean, and well- ventilated area. If using a hanger, make sure that it is made of clean metal and makes good metal-to-metal contact with the workpiece.

3.Installs the proper scatter tip on the conduc- tor pole.

4.Attaches the grounding clip to the workpiece or hanger with good metal-to-metal contact.

5.Puts on ANSI-approved goggles/face mask, respirator, and clothing that protects the operator's skin.

6.Fills the powder cup with approximately 2" of the selected powder.

7.Attaches the powder cup to the spray gun.

8.Connects the spray gun to a dry, clean, pres- surized air source between 10 PSI and 30 PSI.

9.Connects the control box to power and turns the system ON.

10.Aims the spray gun at the workpiece, then simultaneously steps on the foot switch and pulls the gun trigger to direct the powder cloud onto the workpiece.

11.Maintain an even powder thickness of approx- imately 2mm.

12.When finished, turns the system OFF, and immediately grounds the conductor pole to the grounding clip to discharge the gun's electrical charge.
