Model 1264 Powder Feeder
Operator’s Manual
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Properly seating and lubricating the gun's oxygen, fuel gas, and
compressed air valves helps the gun operate freely and shut off
completely.
Extinguish gun backfires as quickly as possible.
Determine the cause of gun backfires or blowouts BEFORE relighting.
When you have completed spray operations, when you are shutting down
the equipment, or when you leave the equipment unattended, release all
gas pressure from the regulators and hoses.
EXPLOSION OR FIRE HAZARD
:
NEVER hang a flame spraying gun or its hoses on regulators or cylinder
valves.
1.4.5
Plasma and Arc Spray Equipment
Plasma and arc spray equipment differ from flame and HVOF equipment.
They use high voltages and amperages that represent an electrical hazard.
Train operators how to use the equipment safely before they actually use
it. Specifically, ensure that operators know and understand all the
operating and safety recommendations in the operator manuals. Always
observe standard safety precautions for electrical equipment and operate in
accordance with ANSI/AWS Z49.1.
Frequently clean arc guns and power supplies to prevent metal dust
accumulation that causes electrical short circuits. Properly insulate or
ground the wire feed units used with the arc spray equipment. If the gun is
suspended, insulate or ground the suspension hook. Ground or insulate all
exposed plasma gun electrodes and cable connections. Interconnect all
ground cables.
Periodically inspect cables, insulation, hoses, and gas lines. All
pushbuttons, pilot lights, plugs, and cables should be intact and meet
ANSI/NFPA 70-2011
,
National Electrical Code
standards. Repair or
replace faulty equipment at once. Never adjust, clean, or repair any part of
the power supply, console, or gun without first disengaging the entire
system, including the power supply.
