Suitable for all airbrush types with nozzles from 0,2 bis 1,0 mm
User notes
Usually the compressor outlet has a 1/8 inch-external thread. If you need ¼ inch-external thread, you
need to use an adapter to connect it to different air hoses. The original air hose is airtight. If the air
hose is not airtight this affects the auto stop function (repeated switch on and off). The sealing of the
screw connections can be made with the help of Teflon band.
Connect the compressor, the air hose, and the airbrush-gun or other air tools, connect the compressor
to the voltage, turn it on and the compressor starts running. The manometer will show maximal pres-
sure and you can adjust the operating pressure with the pressure regulator.
Check for air leaks
Please do not use the air tool if the auto stop-function deactivates itself. Turn on the compressor until it
goes on auto-stop. Then switch the compressor and check the manometer. When the needle holds the
setting constant, this shows that the air-tightness is very good. If the displayed setting goes down very
fast it means that at some joint there is an air leak. Please check it and seal it. Otherwise every leak
will affect the compressor’s efficiency (repeated auto-stop- and auto-start-operations).
The difference between maximum pressure and operating pressure
The maximum working pressure of a compressor is the highest pressure that the compressor can
reach. If a connected airbrush is opened, the compressed air is shot initially through the Airbrush-
nozzle. In contrast to this the working pressure is the constant pressure that the compressor can main-
tain during airbrushing. The pressure level depends on the other hand on the nozzle diameter of the
airbrush to which is connected; the bigger the nozzle diameter is, the larger the air quantity that can
escape and the lower the working pressure of the compressor.
