6. Operating Instructions

Operating the Oasser AK1 Airbrush involves controlling both air and paint flow for desired effects.

6.1. Pressure Adjustment

The compressor offers three pressure modes: Low, Middle, and High. Press the power button to cycle through these modes. The LED lights indicate the current pressure setting.

• Low Pressure: Suitable for fine details, nail art, and small parts.
• Middle Pressure: Ideal for models and general painting.
• High Pressure: Best for large area spraying and quick coverage.

The airbrush features a dual-action trigger for precise control over air and paint flow:

• For Air: Press down the trigger to release air.
• For Paint: Press down the trigger, then pull it back to release paint. The further you pull back, the more paint is released.
• Adjusting Spray Thickness: Rotate the adjustable screw at the tail of the airbrush to change the width of the line and the amount sprayed.

6.3. Paint Compatibility

The Oasser AK1 Airbrush is compatible with water-based paint, acrylic paint, oil-based pre-mixed paint, and colored metallic paint. It is not suitable for acrylic coating.

Tips for Beginners: After receiving the airbrush, practice with clean water to familiarize yourself with the operating techniques. Paint should be diluted to a consistency similar to red wine for optimal flow.

7. Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and performance of your airbrush kit. Always clean thoroughly after each use to prevent clogging.

7.1. Cleaning After Use

1. Empty any remaining paint from the paint cup.
2. Add a small amount of appropriate cleaning agent (e.g., water for water-based paints, thinner for others) to the paint cup.
3. Loosen the nozzle and press down the air valve button. This will cause bubbles in the paint cup, rinsing the internal components.
4. Spray the cleaning liquid onto a paper towel until clear.
5. Wipe the paint cup clean with a cotton swab or soft cloth.

7.2. Disassembly and Deep Cleaning

For thorough cleaning or if clogging occurs, the airbrush can be disassembled. Follow the reverse steps of disassembly for reassembly.

Important Notes for Reassembly:

• When installing, please follow the reverse steps of disassembly and wash.
• When reinstalling the needle, please confirm whether the operation lever is linked with the needle. If it is not linked, please make sure that the needle passes through the operation lever and the lever guide.
• When reinstalling the needle, you can put it in through the nozzle end to see if it is smooth to avoid damage to the needle.
