eXtension Cords  
1.  
2.  
As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension  
cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage,  
resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. (see table a.)  
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example,  
a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord.  
(see table a.)  
3.  
4.  
5.  
When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each  
cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. (see table a.)  
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always re-  
place a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before use.  
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and wet areas.

7.  
Depending on the Thermostat (3) setting, it may take up to one hour for the Oven  
temperature to reach the desired setting and stabilize within an allowable + or - 10  
degree range.  
8.  
9.  
Periodically check the Thermometer (9) to make sure the Oven stabilizes at the  
desired baking temperature.  
Typically the Oven cycle-time for a powder coated object is obtained by adding the  
“heating up” time to the “dwell time”.The “heating up” time is how long it takes for the  
Powder Coat Oven to reach the desired temperature and the “dwell timeis the time  
required for the powder coated object to cure (dry all the way through) properly.  
note: To obtain the complete Oven cycle-time, consult the manufacturer’s manual for the  
powder coating and if necessary the manual for the object being coated. Different  
materials cure at different time lengths.  
10.  
Use a stopwatch (not included) to show when the Oven cycle-time is completed.  
Turn the Main Switch (1) to it’s “OFF” position and reset the Thermostat (3) to a “0”  
degree setting.

of the Oven Cabinet. Turn the Main Switch (1) to “ON” and set the Thermostat (3)  
at 450 degrees Fahrenheit. The Thermostat (3) may be tested at any stage (up to  
450° F during this phase of the test.To make the test, compare the readings of the  
readings of the Thermometer (not included) that was placed inside the Oven and  
the Oven Thermometer (9). If the two readings are NOT the same, the Thermostat  
(9) should be adjusted. Only a qualified technician should perform any adjustments  
to the Thermostat (9).
