Preparing the Air Brush Gun for use
Preparation - Mixing and Thinning paint
IMPORTANT: The air brush gun cannot be used with materials containing
abrasive substances, glazes, caustic or alkaline substances.
NOTE: For the best results, surface preparation and paint thinning are the
two most important areas. Ensure all surfaces are free of dust, dirt and
grease when undertaking this task.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturers guide for thinning and mixing ratios which
should be labelled on the paint container. Paint thinning is very much trial
and error and testing prior to air brushing the nal component is important
to get both the thinning of the paint and the pressure correct for job to be
performed.
Recommended Types of Paints to Use
• We recommend water based paints when used for make-up and
tattooing. Water based paints are easy to work with as they are less
permanent than other types of paint and water can be used for cleaning.
These paints can be purchased at hobby stores or online.
14
909 53633 Air Brush IM ED1.indd 1422/02/2017 2:19 PM
• Acrylic paints cannot be dissolved in water and therefore should only be
used for more permanent applications and when the user is familiar with
the Air Brush Kit.
NOTE: Care must be taken when using acrylic paints, as solvents will be
required for cleaning.
Preparing the Air Brush Gun
This air brush kit contains 2 x paint vessels for use with the air brush gun
(15), and is tted with a general purpose nozzle of 0.35mm.
a) 20cc Glass paint jar (12)
b) 5cc Metal paint cup (14)
Installing the 20cc Glass jar (12):
1. When using the 20cc glass paint jar (12), push
it up into the paint inlet connection (21) tightly
until it is secure (Fig J). The glass paint jar is held
in position by pressure / friction.
NOTE: The 20cc glass paint jar (12) has a vent
hole (13) to allow air to enter the glass jar which
enables uid to ow into the air brush gun.
Ensure it is clean and not blocked (Fig K).
2. Open the lid of the glass paint jar and ll with
the selected paint after thinning appropriately
according to the paint manufacturer guidelines.
Be careful not to overll.

Installing the 5CC metal paint cup (14):
1. When using the 5cc metal paint cup (14), push it up into the paint inlet
connection (24) tightly until it is secure (Fig L). The 5cc metal paint cup
(14) is held in position by pressure / friction.
2. Fill the metal cup (10) with the selected paint after thinning appropriately
according to the paint manufacturer guidelines. Be careful not to overll.
NOTE: The 5cc metal paint cup (14) has no top so care must be taken not
to spill the paint from the metal cup both during use and also lling.
15
909 53633 Air Brush IM ED1.indd 1522/02/2017 2:19 PM
The angle of the metal cup is adjustable by turning the metal cup where
the cup joins to the air brush to the right or to the left, or left central.
The best position of the cup will depend on the angle of the air brush
during use. i.e If the air brush is in use pointing downward, the metal cup
is probably best to be rotated to the right or left as far as possible.
If the air brush is in use in the upward direction the metal cup is probably
better more towards the front.
If the air brush is in use in a horizontal position the metal cup is probably
best to be rotated to the right or left as far as possible.
Operating the Air Brush Gun
1. Remove the protective cap (16) from the air brush gun (Fig M).
2. Turn the on/o switch (1) on the compressor to the ON position as
indicated by an “I” (refer previous Fig E), ensuring the pressure gauge
regulator (6) has been set to the desired pressure level.
3. By pressing down on the trigger (23), air will start to ow through the
paint outlet (17) (Fig N). By pulling the trigger
(23) backwards (Fig O), the paint will atomise
and will start to come through the paint outlet
(17).
NOTE: The size of the spray pattern is in
accordance with the distance between the
work surface and the nozzle of the air
brush gun.

Paint Flow Adjustment Screw
The air brush is tted with a paint ow adjustment screw (22). This screw
acts as a type of rest for the trigger (23) in operation and can assist is
providing a steady and equal amount of paint through the nozzle.
1. To set the paint ow adjustment screw (22), turn it until the threaded
section of the paint ow adjustment screw (22) makes contact with the
trigger (23) (Fig R). As you continue to turn the
adjustment screw (22), the trigger (23) is now
also moving into the area of distributing paint.
The further the adjustment screw (22) is turned,
the more paint can pass through the nozzle.
NOTE: The paint will not ow until the trigger
(23) is pressed downward.
2. To start the paint ow, you only need to depress
the trigger(23) for the air to start and the paint
will also pass through the nozzle. This setting
is the minimum paint ow and is used as a rest
for the trigger (23) to supply a more even paint
ow. Paint ow can be quickly increased by
pulling the trigger (23) backward, and then can
be brought back to the rest for the low level

Tips for Operation
• Before beginning your rst project, it’s important to learn how to
operate and control your air brush gun (15). For your initial practice and
experimentation with the equipment, we recommend using water instead
of the paint in the glass paint jar (12) / metal paint cup (14) until you
become more familiar with its use.
• Important: If air does not pass through the hose to the airbrush, check
there are no kinks or restrictions along the hose length. If the machine has
been used before there may be a dried build up of the colour liquid in the
air brush causing a blockage.
• Before you spray directly onto your work piece, it’s a good idea to practice
on paper rst or something similar to what you will be painting with a
similar surface.
• To begin spraying, hold the air brush in your hand like a pen with either
your index nger or thumb resting on the air brush trigger (23) which is
found directly behind the paint cup/glass jar (14/12). Push the air brush
trigger (23) downward to start the air owing and then by gently pulling
pulling back the trigger (23), the paint will be expelled from the air brush.
The more the trigger (23) is pulled back, the more paint you will see on the
work piece you’re working on.
• Practice regulating the ow by working the trigger (23) and varying the
distance between the spray and the work piece until you’re condent
controlling the air brush. It is suggested to start by doing simple, wavy
lines by holding the air brush close to the paper and barely pulling back on
the trigger (23). This will create a ner line.
18
909 53633 Air Brush IM ED1.indd 1822/02/2017 2:19 PM
• Allow colour to dry until there is no shine and don’t be tempted to touch
the sprayed area as this will smudge the sprayed area.
• Always clean the air brush gun after each use to ensure paints do not dry.
Cleaning the Air Brush Gun
Solvents for Cleaning
Clean the air brush gun as per the solvents in the chart below:
Paint Used Solvent Needed for Cleaning
Laquer Laquer Thinner
Acrylic Based Paint Water
Oil Based Enamels Paint Thinner
The air brush gun is a precision instrument and to work eectively, careful
maintenance is essential.
It’s important to clean the air brush gun as soon as you have nished
spraying as some paints used with the equipment will dry very quickly. It is
also recommended to clean the air brush gun in-between use of dierent
colours which can be done with water or solvents.
1. Remove all remaining paint from the glass jar/
metal cup (12/14) by depressing the air brush
trigger (23) and expelling the remaining paint
into an old cloth or strong paper towel (Fig U).
NOTE: DO NOT empty down the sink – it’s
important to use a cloth or paper towel to
absorb the colour.
2. Following the safety instructions applicable
to the chosen cleaning solvent, and wearing
the appropriate personal protective clothing according to the cleaning
solvent, half ll the air brush glass jar/ metal cup (12/14) with the cleaning
solvent.
NOTE: Using a cleaning solvent OR water is dependent upon the type of
paint you are using. Refer to the chart above.

3. Using a small artist’s bristle brush/ or a make up
brush, gently clean the interior of the glass jar/
V.
metal cup (12/14) (Fig V).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use cotton buds or similar
items as small bres can be deposited and cause
a blockage in the air brush nozzle.
4. Carefully spray the cleaning solvent through the
air brush into an old cloth or strong paper towel.
NOTE: To minimize airborne particles in the
atmosphere use additional cloths or paper towels.
5. Wipe away any traces of the air brush cleaning solvent from the exterior of
the air brush gun body. Cleaning should continue until there is no paint
visible in the glass jar/ metal cup (12/14) or on the cloth or paper towel.
CAUTION: The air brush needle (20) is extremely sharp and should be
handled with care to prevent injury.
6. Replace the needle cover (26) ensuring the tting is screwed on nger
tight.
7. Flush water through the airbrush to remove any airbrush cleaner residue.
Cleaning / Replacing the Air Intake Filter
The function of the compressor is to draw ambient air from the
atmosphere into the compressor where it is compressed and then
discharged from the outlet of the compressor.
The air as it enters the compressor is ltered to prevent dirt entering the
compressor to assist in the life of the compressor, and also to ensure a
clean air ow ready for use.
WARNING: Ensure the compressor is turned o and unplugged from the
mains power before undertaking this task.
1. The air inlet lter (8) is located on the side of the housing of the

During the normal compressor operation, moisture in the air is also
compressed and then trapped in the clear plastic reservoir directly below
the outlet regulator. The water trap is a means to assist in the separation of
the air and water so excess water is restricted from spraying out with the air
and in turn onto the job being painted.
The amount of water collected in the water trap will depend on the
humidity of the air and the duration the compressor is operating.
It is suggested to check the reservoir every time the compressor is started
and if water has pooled in the base of the reservoir, drain the reservoir.
The collection of water in the reservoir is a normal activity of a compressor.
To drain the water trap, follow these steps:
1. Check the water level in the reservoir (Fig AB)
and if there is ANY pooling of water in the
bottom of the reservoir, depress the drain
release valve (9) at the base of the reservoir (Fig
AC). A at bladed screw driver is suitable for this
application. The small valve can be lifted by the
small clip on the valve.
NOTE: Water will drip from the tube outlet of
the valve so ensure there is a small container
under the valve to collect the water.
2. If the water does not drip freely from the valve
and still remains in the reservoir, you can turn on
the compressor for a couple of seconds and then
turn the compressor o.
3. Re open the drain valve on the reservoir as
above, BUT NOTE, the water will spurt a little
from the outlet tube.
4. When you release the drain release valve (9),
the valve will automatically close.
5. Ensure to clean up any excess water discharged
from the drain release valve (9).
