3. Compressor Overview

The mini oil-free air compressor is designed for portability, low noise operation, and consistent performance. It features an auto-stop function at 58 PSI (4 Bar) and auto-start at 40 PSI (2.8 Bar). The recommended working pressure ranges from 18 PSI to 30 PSI, making it suitable for airbrush guns with nozzle sizes between 0.2 mm and 1.0 mm.

Note: The air compressor (motor) will shut off when the air pressure reaches 58 PSI (4 Bar) and restart when the pressure drops below 40 PSI (2.8 Bar). If the compressor does not start, release some air pressure to initiate operation.

6.2 Filling and Spraying

Prepare your paint by diluting it to the appropriate consistency for airbrushing. Use the provided droppers to fill the airbrush fluid cup or siphon bottle. Ensure the paint is not too thick, as this can cause clogging. If the paint does not spray out, dilute it further.
