SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCEINSTALLATION
General Airbrush Operation
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Do not adjust or tamper with any control or
component in a way not specifically explained within this manual.
Improper adjustment can result in tool failure or other serious hazards.
Risk of Fire or Explosion – Do not spray flammable liquid in a confined area. Spray area must be well
ventilated. Do not smoke while spraying or spray where spark or flame is present. Keep compressor as
far from spraying area as possible.
Paint Preparation and Filling
Note: Proper paint mixture is essential. Follow paint
manufacturer’s directions for thinning. Most paints
will spray easily if they are thinned properly.
1. Thin the paint according to manufacturer’s
directions and mix thoroughly.
2. Carefully strain the paint through a paint
strainer or a piece of cheesecloth.
3. Remove Lid from Paint Cup.
Add paint to cup. Replace Lid.
4. Start the air compressor and set the
regulator to needed pressure. Do not
exceed maximum air pressure.
5. Test the consistency by spraying on a piece of
scrap material.
If it still appears too thick, add a very small amount
of thinner (not included) and mix thoroughly.
Use the proper thinner for the type of paint.
Thin CAUTIOUSLY. Proceed slowly, adding
minimal amounts at a time. DO NOT exceed the
manufacturer’s thinning recommendations.
Paint/Air Flow Adjustment
1. Fluid Control Knob:
a. Turn clockwise to reduce maximum
paint flow. This is helpful when painting
fine lines and detail work.
Fluid Control
Knob
b. Turn counterclockwise to increase paint flow.
2. Micro Air Valve: Turn Micro Air Valve to limit
air flow. Turn clockwise to decrease air flow.
Turn counterclockwise to increase air flow.
3. Distance: Move Airbrush closer to workpiece for
thinner lines, move Airbrush away from workpiece
for wider lines and a more blended look.
Note: Increase pressure for better paint atomization
and blended looks. Reduce pressure to get less
atomized paint with bigger droplets. Reduced
pressure will also help the compressor performance.
