4. Operating Instructions

Once the airbrush set is properly assembled and connected, you can begin operation.

Power On and Pressure Adjustment

1. Turn On: Press the "ON/OFF" button on the compressor to power it on. The compressor will start running.
2. Adjust Air Pressure: The compressor features 3 adjustable air pressure stages (Low, Medium, High). Press the "SHIFT" button to cycle through the pressure settings. Observe the indicator lights to confirm the selected pressure level.

Loading Paint and Spraying

1. Prepare Paint: Ensure your paint is properly thinned for airbrush use. Refer to the paint manufacturer's instructions for thinning ratios.
2. Load Paint: Pour the prepared paint into the gravity feed cup of the airbrush. Do not overfill.
3. Test Spray: Before applying to your project, perform a test spray on a scrap piece of material to check paint consistency and air pressure.
4. Spray Operation:
   • To start airflow, press down on the airbrush trigger.
   • To release paint, pull the trigger back while maintaining downward pressure. The further back you pull, the more paint will be released.
   • Practice controlling both air and paint flow simultaneously for desired results.
   • To stop paint flow, release the trigger forward. To stop airflow, release the trigger completely.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your airbrush set.

Airbrush Cleaning (After Each Use)

1. Empty Paint Cup: Pour any remaining paint from the gravity feed cup back into its container.
2. Rinse Cup: Add a small amount of appropriate cleaning solution (water for water-based paints, thinner for solvent-based paints) to the paint cup.
3. Back-Flush: Cover the airbrush nozzle with your finger or a cap and pull the trigger back. This will force air back into the paint cup, bubbling and cleaning the inside. Release the trigger and spray the cleaning solution into a waste container. Repeat until the solution sprays clear.
4. Wipe Down: Use a soft cloth or cotton swab dampened with cleaner to wipe the inside of the paint cup and the exterior of the airbrush.
5. Needle Cleaning: Carefully remove the needle from the back of the airbrush and wipe it clean. Be gentle to avoid bending the needle.
6. Reassemble: Reinsert the needle and reassemble the airbrush components.

Compressor Maintenance

• Keep the compressor clean and free of dust. Wipe the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
• Ensure the air intake and exhaust vents are not obstructed to prevent overheating.
• Store the compressor in a dry, cool place when not in use.
