SECTION 1: SAFETY for Your Own Safety, Read Instruction Manual before Operating This Machine The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention measures.
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.
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.
SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY Availability Before using the Model T25100, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the requirements for this tool, a new circuit must be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution, fire, or tool damage, installation work and electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or qualified service personnel in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.
Grounding & Plug Requirements This system MUST be grounded. In the event of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This system is equipped with a power cord that has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding plug (similar to the figure below). The plug must only be inserted into a matching receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
SECTION 3: SETUP Unpacking Your machine was carefully packaged for safe transportation. Remove the packaging materials from around your machine and inspect it. If you discover any damage, please call us immediately at (570) 546-9663 for advice. Box Inventory (Figures 2–3): Qty A. Powder Coating System.............................. 1 B.

Site Considerations Space Allocation Consider the largest size of workpiece that will be processed with the powder coating system. Provide enough space for adequate operator material handling or the installation of auxiliary equipment. Physical Environment The physical environment where this tool is operated is important for safe operation and longevity of the tool components.
SECTION 4: OPERATIONS 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 controls/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.

Operational Points Adhere to the following points for the best powder coating results: • Use a side-to-side overlapping pattern when spraying. Most powder products require a coating of approximately 2mm. Check the powder manufacturer's specifications and practice attaining the correct thickness on a scrap workpiece. • The workpiece MUST be clean of debris, paint, or other non-metal material.
Workpiece Preparation • Use clean metal material for workpiece hangers. This will ensure that the hanger is grounded with the workpiece. Scatter Tips The powder coating system is designed to ONLY operate on solid, electrically-conductive metal workpieces. The Model T25100 ships with three scatter tips with diameters of 1⁄ 2", 3 ⁄4", and 1" (see Figure 9).
5. The spray gun conductor pole may be electrically charged. Always disconnect the system from power and ground the conductor pole to the system grounding clip before making contact with conductor pole to reduce the risk of electric shock or dust explosion from electrostatic sparks. Powder Cups Connect the tool to the air supply (but NOT to power) and use the spray gun trigger to send air through the gun to make sure any residual powder from the last operation is cleared away. 6.
ACCESSORIES SECTION 5: ACCESSORIES Installing unapproved accessories may cause machine to malfunction, resulting in serious personal injury or machine damage. To reduce this risk, only install accessories recommended for this machine by Grizzly. NOTICE H2499—Small Half-Mask Respirator H3631—Medium Half-Mask Respirator H3632—Large Half-Mask Respirator H3635—Cartridge Filter Pair P100 Fine chemical dust has been linked to nasal cancer and severe respiratory illnesses.
SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE Cleaning To reduce risk of shock or accidental startup, always disconnect equipment from power before adjustments, maintenance, or service. Schedule Cleaning the Model T25100 is simple and straightforward. To clean the Model T25100: 1. DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER! 2. DISCONNECT TOOL FROM AIR!
