2. Informazioni sulla sicurezza

AVVERTIMENTO: Read all safety warnings and instructions before operating this product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

  • Sicurezza elettrica: Ensure the compressor is connected to a properly grounded 120V power outlet. Do not operate in wet conditions or with wet hands. Disconnect power before performing any maintenance.
  • Sicurezza della pressione: Never exceed the maximum operating pressure of 4 Bars (58 PSI). The compressor is equipped with a pressure relief safety valve; do not tampcon esso.
  • Ventilazione: Operate the compressor in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating. Ensure adequate space around the unit for air circulation.
  • Bambini e animali domestici: Keep the compressor out of reach of children and pets. This is not a toy.
  • Uso previsto: Use this compressor only for its intended purpose as an airbrush compressor. Do not modify the unit or use it for applications it was not designed for.
  • Manutenzione: Regularly drain moisture from the air tank. Perform maintenance only when the compressor is unplugged and depressurized.

Familiarize yourself with the main components of your AS186 airbrush compressor.

TIMBERTECH AS186 Airbrush Compressor main view

Figura 4.1: Complessivamente view of the TIMBERTECH AS186 Airbrush Compressor. This image displays the compact design, integrated carry handle, and the main components including the motor unit, air tank, and pressure regulator assembly.

AS186 Compressor components: On/Off switch, Heat Dissipation Fins, Air Release Valve, Water Drain Valve

Figura 4.2: Key functional components. This image highlights the On/Off switch for power control, efficient heat dissipation fin design on the motor, the air release valve for depressurizing, and the water drain valve located at the bottom of the tank.

Air pressure regulator with knob control and gauge

Figura 4.3: Air Pressure Regulator. This component allows for precise adjustment of the output air pressure using the knob control. The integrated gauge displays the current pressure in both PSI and Bar. To adjust, pull the knob up and rotate, then push down to lock.

Compressor features: Suction pads, Auto Start/Stop, Water Drain Button

Figura 4.4: Additional features. This image shows the suction pads for stability during operation, the auto start (3 Bar / 43 PSI) and auto stop (4 Bar / 58 PSI) pressure settings, and the drain button for releasing accumulated water from the moisture trap.

5. Istruzioni per l'installazione

  1. Disimballare: Rimuovere con attenzione tutti i componenti dall'imballaggio. Verificare che non vi siano danni dovuti al trasporto.
  2. Posizionamento: Place the compressor on a stable, level surface. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. The suction pads on the feet (refer to Figure 4.4) will help secure it.
  3. Collegare il tubo dell'aria: Attach your airbrush hose (not included) to the air outlet on the pressure regulator. Ensure a secure, airtight connection.
  4. Collegamento elettrico: Collegare il cavo di alimentazione a una presa elettrica da 120 V dotata di messa a terra.
  5. Controllo della pressione iniziale: Before turning on, ensure the pressure regulator knob is set to a low pressure or fully counter-clockwise to prevent sudden pressure surges.

6. Istruzioni per l'uso

  1. Accensione: Flip the On/Off switch (refer to Figure 4.2) to the 'On' position. The compressor will begin to fill the 3-liter air tank.
  2. Regolazione della pressione:
    • Pull up the pressure regulator knob (refer to Figure 4.3).
    • Rotate the knob clockwise to increase pressure or counter-clockwise to decrease pressure. Observe the gauge for the desired setting.
    • Una volta impostata la pressione desiderata, spingere la manopola verso il basso per bloccarla in posizione.
  3. Funzionamento automatico: The AS186 features an auto start/stop function. The compressor will automatically start when the tank pressure drops to approximately 3 Bar (43 PSI) and stop when it reaches approximately 4 Bar (58 PSI) (refer to Figure 4.4). This maintains consistent pressure and extends motor life.
  4. Using Your Airbrush: Connect your airbrush to the hose and begin your work. The compressor will maintain the set pressure.
  5. Spegni: When finished, turn the On/Off switch to the 'Off' position. Disconnect the airbrush and depressurize the system by briefly opening the air release valve or by using your airbrush until the gauge reads zero.

7. Manutenzione

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your compressor. Always unplug the compressor before performing any maintenance.

  1. Drain Moisture from Tank: After each use, or at least daily, drain any accumulated moisture from the air tank.
    • Ensure the compressor is off and depressurized.
    • Locate the water drain valve at the bottom of the tank (refer to Figure 4.2).
    • Open the valve to release condensed water. Close it securely afterward.
  2. Drain Moisture from Moisture Trap: The moisture trap (part of the regulator assembly) also collects water.
    • Press upward on the drain button at the bottom of the moisture trap to release collected water (refer to Figure 4.4). Do not press this button when the machine is working or when the pressure stops.
  3. Filtro dell'aria pulito: Periodically check and clean the air filter located on the intake side of the compressor. A clogged filter can reduce performance.
  4. Pulizia generale: Pulisci l'esterno del compressore con un pannoamp stoffa. Non utilizzare prodotti chimici aggressivi o detergenti abrasivi.
