1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
2. Observe work area conditions. Do not use machines or power
tools in damp or wet locations. Don’t expose to rain. Keep
work area well lighted. Do not use electrically powered tools
in the presence of ammable gases or liquids. Always keep
work area free from obstructions and well ventilated.
3. Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the
work area. Do not let them handle machines, tools, hoses or
extension cords.
4. Store idle equipment. When not in use, tools must be stored in
a dry location to inhibit rust. Always lock up tools and keep out
of reach of children and other untrained persons. Switch off all
unused electrical tools when stored. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
5. WARNING: All persons in the work area must always wear
approved eye and ear protection and approved breathing
apparatus when this spray gun is in operation.
6. Work Safe. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that could
become caught by moving parts, causing injury. Operate tool a
safe distance from yourself and others in the work area. Keep
proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or
across running machines, hoses, etc.
7.
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Be sure all
personnel are clear of the direction of the spray gun. Do not operate
any tool when you are tired.
8. Do not operate any tool if under the inuence of alcohol or
drugs. Read warning labels on prescriptions to determine if
your judgment or reexes are impaired while taking drugs. If
there is any doubt, do not operate any tool.
9. Never aim spray gun at anyone. Do not spray near sparks,
open flame, lit cigarettes, pilot lights, space heaters or any
other potential ignition source. DO NOT SMOKE IN WORK
AREA.
10.Follow air source manufacturers directions for connection of
regulators, lters, and other accessories to air source. Do not
install quick couplers directly on tool as they put unnecessary
strain on the air inlet threads possibly causing them to wear
out prematurely. Instead, install them on a short length of air
hose attached to the tool.
11. Follow manufacturers instructions and safety information
to ensure safe handling and proper use of paints, lacquers,

thinners, base coats, etc. Do not use latex or other heavy
paints. They are not recommended for this spray gun.
12.Always disconnect spray gun from air source before
disassembly.
13.Warning! Solvents Trichloroethane and Methylene Chloride
(Dichloromethane - sometimes called Methylchloride) can
chemically react with the Aluminum used in most spray
equipment creating an explosion hazard. Read the label or
data sheet from the material you intend to spray. NEVER use
any material containing these solvents. If unsure as to the
composition of your material, check with your supplier. Do not
use acids for cleaning.
14. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that
appears damaged should be carefully checked to determine
that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken
parts or mounting xtures; and any other condition that may
affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by a qualied technician.
15.Maintenance. For your safety, maintenance should be
performed regularly by a qualied technician using original
PERFORMANCE TOOLS® replacement parts. Failure to
do so can lead to accidents for the operator. Use of any
other parts will void the warranty. Only use accessories
intended for use with this tool. Approved accessories are
available from Performance Tool®. Use only accessories
that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become
hazardous when used on another tool.
WARNING: This product and its packaging contain a chemical

OPERATION
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Step 1: Inlet Air Pressure Regulation
Assemble the components of spray gun and connect to a
clean air source. A clean air source is imperative to ensure
peak performance. The use of an in-line air lter is highly
recommended to keep any contaminants from entering
the spray gun. Set inlet air pressure to between 40 and 45
P.S.I. to begin adjustments.
(This is a good operating inlet pressure suitable for most
applications, however, depending on materials being sprayed and
other external factors such as temperature, humidity, etc., you
may need to come back to this step and increase or decrease
pressure as needed after attempting adjustments in step 2.)
Step 2: Fluid Control
Fluid Volume Control - Fluid volume is adjusted by turning
the Fluid Volume Control Knob. Turning knob in decreases
volume, turning knob out increases volume. Once a
satisfactory volume is set, you can lock the adjustment by
turning the lock nut in tight.
Step 3: Spray Pattern Controls
Pattern Shape - The shape of the spray can be adjusted
from a round pattern to a flat pattern by turning the Pattern
Control Knob. Turning knob in rounds the pattern, turning
knob out flattens the pattern.
Pattern Orientation - A flat or semi-round spray pattern
can be adjusted to any angle from horizontal to vertical by
turning the Air Nozzle. Pattern is perpendicular to “ears”
on nozzle. That is, when the ears are horizontal, the spray
pattern will be vertical and when the ears are vertical the
spray pattern will be horizontal.
To protect the precision machined internal parts and
ttings in this gun from corrosion during shipping, some
oils or other corrosion resistant agents may have been
applied. It is important to remove any such residue before
attempting to use the gun. To clean, place a small amount
of appropriate thinner into paint cup and spray through gun
while pulling and releasing trigger repeatedly. Wipe exterior
of gun, nozzles and paint cup. In some cases, if the gun
becomes clogged, disassemble completely and soak all
parts in thinner. After soaking, use wire and cleaning brush
to clear small internal passages. Check and clean paint cup
lter. Replace if worn.

A clean air source is imperative to ensure peak perfor-
mance. The use of an in-line air lter is highly recommend-
ed to keep any contaminants from entering the spray gun.
Inspect all ttings and hardware to ensure proper seating.
Be sure air line ttings are tight with no leaks. Replace any
worn parts as necessary.
Check needle and nozzles for nicks, scratches or burrs.
Any such conditions will seriously impair performance.
Replace as necessary.
Warning! Clean gun before and after each use.
