3M™ Performance Spray Gun Overview
3M™ Performance Spray Guns are engineered for performance� The versatile selection of replaceable
atomizing heads offer like-new spray performance every time� The lightweight, impact resistant gun
body features a newly designed locking collar that allows for quick atomizing head changes for an
easy switch between paints or coatings and cleanup� Atomizing heads connect directly to 3M™ PPS™

Preparation System� Painters needed a cleaner, faster, more efficient method of mixing and applying
paint� Reinvented from top to bottom, the 3M™ PPS 2�0 Spray Cup system delivers the next evolution
of the 3M™ PPS™ painting revolution�
Hazards can occur from equipment misuse� Any misuse of the equipment or accessories, such as over
pressurizing, modifying parts, using incompatible chemicals and fluids, or using worn or damaged parts
can cause serious bodily injury, fire, explosion or property damage�
