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.
