09010 ELECTROSTATIC SPRAY PAINTER
Sprays negatively charged paint particles on positively charged
workpieces, using cone, disk, or nozzle-type electrostatic painting
equipment. Moves switches and dials to start flow of current and to
activate paint spraying equipment. Turns valves and observes gauges to set
pressure and to control flow of paint. Adjusts thermostat to maintain
specified temperature in paint tanks. Inspects painted units for runs,
sags, and unpainted areas. Readjusts pressure valves to control direction
and pattern of spray and to correct flaws in coating. Cleans paint from
ceiling and walls of booth, conveyor hooks or grid, and from disks, cones,
spray heads, and hoses, using solvent and brush. May hand-spray parts to
cover unpainted areas or apply rust preventative. May mix paint according
to specifications, using viscometer to regulate consistency according to
changes in atmospheric conditions. May supervise or train furniture
handlers for limited operation of the electrostatic spray painting
equipment. In general, the work of an electrostatic spray painter requires
rounded training and experience usually acquired through considerable
on-the-job training and experience.
