Additional Safety for Powder Coating
Systems
Like all equipment there is potential danger
when operating this tool. Accidents are
frequently caused by lack of familiarity or
failure to pay attention. Use this tool with
respect and caution to decrease the risk
of operator injury. If normal safety precau-
tions are overlooked or ignored, serious
personal injury may occur.
No list of safety guidelines can be com-
plete. 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 equip-
ment, or poor work results.
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 sus-
tained 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 con-
ductor pole that protrudes from the gun nose—the
conductor pole is electrically charged! After turn-
ing 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., pace-
maker).
CURING FUMES. The fumes produced during
curing can cause severe eye, lung, and skin inju-
ries. 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!
