SPECIFICATION

AIR SUPPLY

For best results, the air supply to the spray gun must be clean and dry, with no

oil or water contamination. Follow the air compressor manufacturer’s

guidelines on installation and operation to ensure that your air supply is as

clean as possible.

The compressed air supply line to the spray gun must be fitted with a filter

capable of removing any oil or water together with a suitable pressure

regulator.

Higher pressure and contaminated air will shorten the spray gun life due to

faster wear and could become a safety hazard.

Water in the air line will also cause damage and may contaminate the paint

being used. Therefore ensure the air supply is properly filtered.

Line pressure, or supply hose inside diameter, should be increased to

compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 10 m). Minimum hose diameter

should be 6mm (¼") ID, and fittings should have the same inside dimensions.

The air inlet used for connecting air supply has a standard ¼” BSP thread.

OPERATION

The AP8GFM spray gun is fed with paint by gravity from the paint container.

The air-flow through the air cap draws paint into the nozzle assembly, where it

is atomised and sprayed forward.

The AP8GFM spray gun is supplied with one nozzle size, (0.8 mm). Ensure your

spray gun is matched to the capacity of your compressor.

Connect the air supply hose to the air inlet, (using a suitable in-line connector

if required).

PREPARATION BEFORE PAINTING

Mix the paint to the correct viscosity for spraying according to the

manufacturer’s instructions and strain it into the paint container through a fine

mesh filter. When mixing the paint, make sure that you have enough thinners

left to clean the spray gun after use.

Do not fill the paint container more

than 3/4 full. Make sure that the

threaded joint between the

container and the gun are clean and

before screwing the container on the

gun. Always clean around the

container sealing lip and keep the

container vent clear.

Remember that some modern paints

require specialist respiratory

protection...always consult the paint

manufacturers instructions.

Ensure that the area in which you will be spraying is clean and dust free. To

obtain best results, it is vital that the surface to be sprayed is well prepared. It

must be clean and dry, and free from dust, dirt oil or grease. Mask any area

that is not to be sprayed and cover adjacent equipment to protect from

overspray.

Check the paint manufacturer’s instructions for any special surface

preparation required.

REMEMBER - TIME SPENT PREPARING SAVES TIME SPENT FINISHING.

WARNING: NEVER ATTEMPT TO SPRAY UNLESS YOU ARE WEARING

SUITABLE, APPROVED RESPIRATORY AND EYE PROTECTION.

PAINT THINNING

Paint thinning is particularly important when spraying. Many paints are

supplied ready for brush application and need to be sufficiently diluted for

spraying purposes. Always follow the paint manufacturers instructions. If in

doubt, always consult the paint manufacturer.

A Viscosity Cup (not supplied), will assist in determining the correct thickness of

the paint.

The ideal viscosity for most paints is as follows:

1. Dip the cup into the paint and fill to the brim. Time how long it takes for the

cup to empty.

2. Thin as required until times are achieved.

3. Alternatively if a viscosity cup is not available, the following information

can be used as a rough guide.

• Water based paints (emulsions) 10-20% water.

• Oil based paints (gloss) up to 10% thinners.

• Cellulose paints up to 50 % cellulose thinners.

If in any doubt, contact the paint manufacturer.

4. Having mixed the paint thoroughly in a separate container, pour into the

spray gun paint container through a fine filter.

• DO NOT OVERFILL PAINT CONTAINER - never more than three

quarters full.

Water based paints 35-45 secs

Oil based paints 15-25 secs

Enamel paints 15-25 secs

Primers 20-30 secs

Varnishes 20-25 secs

Aluminium paints 15-25 secs

Wood preservatives Do not dilute

Wood Stains Do not dilute

ADJUSTMENTS OF THE SPRAY GUN

ADJUSTING THE PAINT FLOW

1. Set the Paint Flow Adjustment knob (8) according to the paint in use and

the spray pattern required. (anticlockwise to increase, clockwise to reduce

flow).

ADJUSTING THE SPRAY PATTERN

1. Turn the Pattern Adjustement knob (9) anticlockwise to give a fan shaped

spray pattern, turning clockwise to give a circular spray pattern.

2. You can adjust the orientation of the fan either vertically or horizontally to

suit your requirements by turning the side wings (2) to the desired position.

• As the width of the spray is increased, paint flow will also need to be

increased.

ADJUSTING THE AIR FLOW

1. To increase the air flow, turn the Airflow Adjustment knob anticlockwise to

increase and clockwise to decrease the air pressure.

• The air flow needed will vary according to the paint in use, with

thicker paints needing more air.

SPRAYING TECHNIQUES

Practice spraying on a piece of material with the same type of surface as the

article you wish to spray, eg. metal for a car body panel, wood for a piece of

furniture etc.

Always make adjustments to the spray pattern according to the

conditions.You may need to increase the paint and air flow when using a

wider fan setting.

To reduce overspray, always use the lowest possible air pressure that produces

an acceptable spray pattern.

• If the gun is too far from the surface or the paint is too thin, the paint

will start to dry before hitting the surface, resulting in a rough, sandy

finish. Allowing overspray to fall on a finished area will also result in a

rough finish. Too much paint feed or holding the gun too close to the

work will lead to runs and sagging.

• The paint should be agitated by gentle shaking at regular intervals

during use to ensure consistancy and avoid colour difference due to

the paint settling in the container.

To obtain the best results, keep your

spray gun level and parallel to the

surface at all times. Keep the nozzle

23 - 30 cm from the surface and spray

evenly from side to side or up and

down. Use your arm to control the

spray gun, not your wrist.

The gun should be perpendicular to

the surface being covered and

moved parallel with it. The stroke

should be started before the trigger is pulled and likewise released before the

stroke is ended. This gives accurate control of the gun and material.

Do not spray at an angle as this will

lead to paint runs on the surface.

Always use smooth and even strokes.

When spraying large areas, using a

criss-cross pattern as shown.

Never start or stop the spray gun

while it is aimed at the surface to be

sprayed. Evenly control the speed of

movement of the spray gun.

• Moving quickly over the

surface will give a thin coat

and slow movement will give a

heavy coat.

• Apply one coat at a time. If a further coat is required, make sure you

observe the manufacturers drying time recommendations before

applying a second coat.

• When spraying small areas, keep the output control on a low setting

as this will avoid using too much paint and prevent overspray.

• Where possible, avoid stopping and starting when spraying an

object. This can lead to too much, or not enough paint being

applied.
