ONLY operate on solid, electrically-conduc-
tive metal workpieces.
follow these workpiece preparation guide-
lines for the best results:
•
thoroughly clean the workpiece of paints or

•
Make sure the workpiece is completely dry.
•
attach the grounding clip (see
figure 8) to
the workpiece or hanger with a good metal-
to-metal contact at a point where the pow-
der will not be applied. this will provide a
negative electrical attraction for the charged
power.
