Safety Warnings and Precautions
WARNING: When using tool, basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to equipment.
Read all instructions before using this tool!
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 lit. Do not use air tools in the
presence of flammable gases or liquids.

3.	

Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let
them handle machines, tools, extension cords, or air hoses.

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.

5.	

Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment
to do the work of a larger industrial tool. There are certain applications forwhich this
tool was designed. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was
intended. Do not modify this tool and do not use this tool for a purpose for which it
was not intended.

6.	

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in
moving parts. Protective, electrically non-conductive clothes and non-skid footwear
are recommended when working. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.

7.	

Use eye and ear protection. Always wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles.
Wear an ANSI approved dust mask or respirator when working around chemical
dusts, paints and mists. Wear appropriate ear protection.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or
across running machines or air hoses.

9.	

Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean for better and safer performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords and air hoses
periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician. The
handles must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grease at all times.

10.	 Disconnect air supply. Disconnect air hose when not in use, when changing
accessories, and during maintenance.
11.	 Remove adjusting wrenches. Check that adjusting wrenches are removed from the
tool before attaching to the air source.
12.	 Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the trigger is in the Off position when not in
use and before attaching to the air source. Do not carry any tool with your finger on
the trigger, whether it is attached to the air compressor or not.
13.	 Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any tool
when you are tired.
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 fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician.
Do not use the tool if any trigger does not operate properly.
15.	 Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.
16.	 Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use accessories
intended for use with this tool. Approved accessories are available from Harbor Freight
Tools.
17.	 Do not operate tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning
labels if taking prescription medicine to determine if your judgement or reflexes are
impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the tool.
18.	 Use proper size and type extension cord. If an extension cord is required, it must
be of the proper size and type to supply the correct current to the compressor without
heating up. Otherwise, the extension cord could melt and catch fire, or cause electrical
damage to the compressor. Check your compressor’s manual for the appropriate size
cord.
19.	 Maintenance. For your safety, maintenance should be performed regularly by a
qualified technician.
20. 	Compressed air only. Never use combustible gas as a power source.
21.	 Do not spray near open flames, pilot lights, stoves, heaters, or any other heat
source. Most solvents and coatings are highly flammable, particularly when sprayed.
22.	 Clean Sprayer with care. Use non-flammable solvents.
SKU 91011

Page 3

23.	 Do not smoke while spraying. Most solvents and coatings are highly flammable,
particularly when sprayed.
24.	 Read all of the information concerning coating products and cleaning solvents.
Chlorinated solvents (e.g. 1-1-1 Trichlorethylene and Methylene Chloride, also known
as methyl chloride) can chemically react with aluminum and may explode. Many paint
sprayers contain aluminum. If you have any doubt about potential chemical reactions,
contact the solvent or coating manufacturer.
25.	 Materials used when painting or cleaning may be harmful or fatal if inhaled or
swallowed. Only use in an area with adequate ventilation. Use a respirator or mask
when painting or using cleaning solvents.
26.	 Never release the sprayer lid while the cup is pressurized.
27.	 Industrial applications must follow OSHA requirements.
28.	 Never point a spray gun at a person or animal. Always properly mask all objects
that are not to be painted.
Note: Performance of the compressor (if powered by line voltage) may vary depending
on variations in local line voltage. Extension cord usage may also affect tool performance.
WARNING: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction
manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be
understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot
be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
WARNING: The brass components of this product contain lead, a chemical known to
the State of California to cause birth defects (or other reproductive harm).

Operation

1/4” NPS
Sprayer

For best service you should incorporate a regulator and inline filter, as shown in the diagram
above. Hoses, couplers, regulators, and filters are all available at Harbor Freight Tools.
1. You will need to prepare a 1/4” air connector (sold separately) to connect to the air inlet on
the Spray Gun. First, wrap the 1/4” air connector (not included) with pipe thread seal tape before
threading it into the Air Inlet (33). Connect the 3/8” ID Air Source Hose to the Spray Gun.
2. Set the air pressure on your compressor to 20 to 50 PSI. Do not exceed the maximum air
pressure of 80 PSI.
3. Check the air connection for leaks and then disconnect the tool from the air source.

Operation (continued)
Filling the Cup (26)

Warning! The Spray Gun must be disconnected from the air source when filling or refilling
material.
1.	
2.	

Remove the Cup (26) from the Spray Gun
by pressing the Lever (23) on top of the
Cup (26) counterclockwise.
Fill the Cup (26) with the appropriate
material and turn it counterclockwise while
turning the Lever (23) clockwise. See
FIGURE 1.

FIGURE 1

NOTE: The Lid (43) of the Cup (26) has a small
vent hole in it. Before each operation,
make sure the vent hole is not covered
and unplugged. Do not use the Spray
Gun if the vent hole is clogged. Do not
turn the Spray Gun over while full or
material will clog the vent hole.
Note:	 Before spraying, mask all objects you do not want sprayed and lay cloths (not included)
on the floors.

Operation

Note:	 We recommend you practice on scrap material to adjust and get to know the Gun.
1.	
2.	
3.	
4.	
5.	

Connect the air source hose to the Air Inlet (33). Turn on your air compressor. Do not
exceed the 80 PSI maximum.
Pull the Trigger (20) slowly and move the Spray Gun in parallel strokes to the object
being painted. Keep the distance from the object being painted at 4” to 12”. This may
slightly differ depending on the flow adjustment and the material being sprayed.
Release the Trigger (20) after each forward movement; pull the Trigger (20) again on
the return movement.
When using a vertical pattern, move the Spray Gun in a horizontal motion; with a
horizontal pattern move the Spray Gun in a vertical motion. A round pattern requires
a greater distance from the object being painted.
When finished, release the Trigger (20) and disconnect from the air source. The Cup
(26) and Spray Gun may still hold air pressure, fire the Spray Gun toward scrap material
until all of the pressure is expended.

Spray Gun Adjustments

Note: We recommend you practice on scrap material to learn the fine tune adjustments.
1.	
2.	
3.	

To change the spray pattern, turn the Spread Adjusting Valve (12) and/or the Air Cap
Set (1).
To regulate the amount of material entering the Spray Gun, adjust the Fluid Adjusting
Screw (19).
To fine tune the air flow, adjust the Air Adjusting Screw (27).
