Belangrijkste kenmerken:
- Oil-less Piston Motor: Ensures clean air output and low maintenance.
- 3-Liter Air Tank: Provides consistent air pressure and reduces compressor cycling.
- Automatische uitschakeling: The compressor automatically turns off when the tank reaches maximum pressure and restarts when pressure drops.
- Pressure Regulator with Water Trap: Allows for precise air pressure adjustment and filters moisture from the air.
- Laag geluidsniveau: Werkt op ongeveer 47 decibel.

5. Opstelling en montage
Follow these steps to assemble your air compressor before first use.
- Componenten uitpakken: Haal alle onderdelen voorzichtig uit de verpakking.
- Attach Regulator and Water Trap: The air pressure regulator and water trap filter need to be attached to the compressor. Apply several wraps of the provided Teflon tape (thread seal tape) to the threads of the regulator before screwing it into the compressor's air outlet. Tighten firmly but do not overtighten. Ensure the water trap is oriented downwards for proper drainage. Note: Some users have reported difficulty aligning the regulator straight. Apply sufficient Teflon tape and tighten until snug, stopping before it's fully seated if necessary to achieve vertical alignment.
- Luchtslang aansluiten: Connect one end of the 6-foot air hose to the outlet of the water trap filter. Connect the other end to your airbrush. Ensure connections are secure to prevent air leaks.
- Position Compressor: Plaats de compressor op een stabiele, vlakke ondergrond in een goed geventileerde ruimte.

6. Gebruiksaanwijzing
- Inschakelen: Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet. Flip the power switch on the compressor to the 'ON' position. The compressor will begin to fill the air tank until it reaches its maximum pressure, then automatically shut off.
- Luchtdruk aanpassen: Use the knob on the air pressure regulator to set the desired working pressure. The pressure gauge will display the current output pressure. Turn clockwise to increase pressure, counter-clockwise to decrease.
- Airbrush aansluiten: Ensure your airbrush is securely connected to the air hose.
- Beginnen met airbrushen: Once the desired pressure is set, you can begin your airbrushing work. The compressor will automatically cycle on and off to maintain the set pressure in the tank.
- Uitschakelen: When finished, turn off the power switch and unplug the compressor from the electrical outlet.
- Drukverlagingssysteem: After turning off and unplugging, release any remaining air pressure from the tank by opening the airbrush trigger or using the tank drain valve until the gauge reads zero.
7. Onderhoud
Regelmatig onderhoud zorgt ervoor dat uw compressor lang meegaat en optimaal presteert.
- Afvoerputje: Periodically check and drain any accumulated moisture from the water trap filter. This prevents moisture from reaching your airbrush and paint.
- Luchttank leegmaken: After each use, or at least weekly, drain the air tank. Locate the drain valve at the bottom of the air tank (often a small knob or screw). Place a container underneath and open the valve to release condensed water. Close the valve securely after draining.
- Schone luchtfilter: Inspect the air intake filter regularly. Clean or replace it if it appears dirty or clogged to ensure proper airflow to the compressor.
- Algemene schoonmaak: Veeg de buitenkant van de compressor af met adamp lap. Gebruik geen agressieve chemicaliën of schurende schoonmaakmiddelen.

8. Probleemoplossing
Raadpleeg dit gedeelte voor veelvoorkomende problemen en hun oplossingen.
| Probleem | Mogelijke oorzaak | Oplossing |
|---|---|---|
| Compressor gaat niet aan | No power, faulty switch, thermal overload | Check power connection. Ensure switch is ON. Allow compressor to cool down if it was recently used. |
| Er lekt lucht uit de aansluitingen | Loose connections, insufficient Teflon tape, damaged threads | Tighten all connections. Reapply Teflon tape to threaded fittings. Inspect threads for damage. |
| Inconsistente luchtdruk | Regulator malfunction, air leaks, low tank pressure | Check for air leaks. Ensure tank is adequately pressurized. Adjust regulator. |
| Moisture in airbrush output | Water trap full, tank not drained | Drain the water trap filter. Drain the air tank thoroughly. |
| Regulator/water trap not straight | Thread design, insufficient Teflon tape | Apply more Teflon tape to the threads. Tighten carefully until the desired alignment is achieved, even if not fully seated. Avoid overtightening. |
