Need help?Do you have a question about the Sealey AB900.V2 and is the answer not in the manual?
The Sealey AB900.V2 is a mini airbrush compressor, designed for use with most airbrushes. It is a quiet-running piston pump powered by a 110-Watt electric motor, making it suitable for various airbrushing tasks. A key feature of this compressor is that it requires no lubrication, and the air supply from the unit is oil-free, which is crucial for maintaining the purity of the air for delicate airbrush work. The unit comes supplied with an air filter regulator and a pressure gauge, allowing for precise control over the air output.
Before operation, users must ensure they have read and understood all safety instructions provided in the manual. The compressor should be removed from its packaging and inspected for any damage. The mains voltage must correspond to the voltage shown on the compressor data plate. For optimal performance and to prevent overheating, the compressor should be operated in a position that allows good air circulation around the unit. It should be placed on a stable and level surface, ensuring the rubber feet are in direct contact with the work surface to minimize vibration. It is crucial not to operate the unit in an enclosed space.
To begin, attach the airbrush hose to the 1/4"BSP air outlet. The mains lead should then be plugged into a convenient socket, but the unit should not be switched on until the medium to be sprayed, the airbrush, and the item/surface to be sprayed are fully prepared. Once switched on, the compressor provides a constant airflow to the airbrush. The compressor motor will automatically cut in and out to maintain the required pressure, as determined by the user's regulator setting. Users should refer to their airbrush manufacturer's instructions for the correct spraying technique.
It is important not to leave the compressor running for extended periods with the airbrush attached but not in use; if there's a pause in work, the compressor should be switched off. If the operating note of the compressor changes, it may indicate a blockage within the airbrush or a pinched air hose. In such cases, the unit should be switched off immediately, and the source of the blockage investigated and eliminated. After the task is complete, the compressor can be used to blow a suitable cleaning solvent through the airbrush. The unit should then be switched off, and the airbrush operated to relieve any pressure left in the hose before disconnecting it from the compressor.
During and immediately after operation, the finned pump head may become hot and should not be touched. If the unit needs to be moved, it should only be lifted by its handle, and allowed to cool before storage. If there is a loss of efficiency when spraying, users should first ensure the airbrush is scrupulously clean and functioning properly. If the airbrush is satisfactory, the troubleshooting guide in the manual should be consulted.
Maintaining the AB900.V2 involves keeping the unit clean at all times. It is essential not to cover any of the ventilation slots or allow extraneous material to enter the unit via these openings. The compressor should be stored in dust-free and dry conditions when not in use.
The manual includes a troubleshooting guide to help identify potential faults that may develop over time. This chart is not intended as a guide for self-repair, but rather to indicate when the unit should be returned to an authorized service agent for rectification. Common faults and their remedies include:
Parts support is available for this product, and users can obtain a parts listing and/or diagram by logging on to the Sealey website, emailing sales, or calling their support number.
Users are responsible for ensuring all electrical products are safe before use, checking power cables, plugs, sockets, and connectors for wear or damage. The risk of electric shock must be minimized by installing appropriate safety devices, such as a Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) in the main distribution board, and ideally a Residual Current Device (RCD) for portable products. The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires portable electrical appliances used in business premises to be tested by a qualified electrician using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT) at least once a year. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners responsible for the safe condition of appliances and the safety of operators.
Insulation on all cables and the appliance must be safe. Cables must be protected against short circuits and overload. Power supply cables and plugs should be regularly inspected for wear or damage, and connections checked for looseness. The voltage marked on the appliance must match the power supply, and the plug must be fitted with the correct 3 AMP fuse. Users must not pull or carry the appliance by the power cable or pull the plug from the socket by the cable. Worn or damaged cables, plugs, or connectors must be immediately repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician. If a UK 3-pin plug is damaged, the cable should be cut just above the plug, and a new plug fitted according to the instructions: connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to terminal 'E', BROWN live wire to terminal 'L', and BLUE neutral wire to terminal 'N'. After wiring, ensure no bare wires, correct connections, and that the cable outer insulation extends beyond the cable restraint, which must be tight. Double insulated products (marked with ☐) are fitted with live (brown) and neutral (blue) wires only; these should not be connected to the earth terminal.
Products requiring more than 13 amps are supplied without a plug, and a qualified electrician must be contacted to ensure a suitably rated supply is available. If an extension reel is used, it must be fully unwound before connection. An RCD-fitted reel is preferred. The cable core section should be at least 1.5mm², but 2.5mm² section cable is recommended for this product and other output sockets. If used outdoors, the extension reel must be marked for outdoor use.
The compressor must only be serviced by an authorized agent. Users should familiarize themselves with the application and limitations of the compressor and ensure it is in good order and condition before use. Before moving or maintaining the compressor, ensure it is unplugged from the mains supply and the airbrush is disconnected. Only an airbrush should be attached to the compressor. The safe working pressure of any airbrush used must not exceed the unit's output pressure. The spraying area must be well-ventilated. The compressor should be turned off before disconnecting the airbrush. The compressor should only be moved by its handle. It must be used in a well-ventilated area on a firm surface. Tools and other items should be kept away from the compressor during use, and the area should be clean and clear. The airbrush supply hose must not be tangled, twisted, or pinched. Children and unauthorized persons must be kept away from the working area.
Users must NOT disassemble the compressor for any reason; it must be checked and serviced by an approved service agent. It must NOT be used outdoors or in damp/wet locations. It must NOT be operated within the vicinity of flammable liquids, gases, or solids. The compressor cylinder head must NOT be touched after shutdown as it may be hot. The compressor must NOT be moved by pulling the airbrush supply hose. This product must NOT be used to perform tasks for which it was not designed.
