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
o all unused electrical tools when stored. Tools are danger-
ous 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.
Avg. Air Consumption (CFM):...........................3.1
Fluid Inlet (NPS): ...................................M14 x 1.0
Air Inlet (NPS):.............................................1/4 in.
Hose Size (ID): ............................................3/8 in.
11.Follow manufacturers instructions and safety information to
ensure safe handling and proper use of paints, lacquers, thin-
ners, 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 1,1,1-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
aect 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 Per-
formance 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.

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.
Step 2: Air and Fluid Volume Controls
These two controls are used in conjunction with each other
to accurately adjust air/uid (Paint) ratio and will vary for
dierent paints. Changing one control Fluid Volume aects
the other so alternating back and forth between them to
ne tune your adjustment will yield optimum results.
Air Volume Control - Air volume is adjusted by turning the
Air Fluid Volume Control Knob. Turning knob in reduces
volume, turning knob out Control Knob increases volume.
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.
OPERATION
Step 1: Inlet Air Pressure Regulation
Assemble components of spray gun and connect to
clean air source as described above. 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.)
Inlet pressure is adjusted by turning the Pressure Regulator
Control Knob. Knob must rst be pulled out to unlock.
Turning knob clockwise increases pressure, turning knob
counter-clockwise decreases pressure. Once desired
pressure is reached, push the knob back in to lock.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Clean gun before and after each use.
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
performance. The use of an in-line air lter is highly
recommended 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.
