minor injury.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

When you unpack your unit, look carefully
for damage that might have occurred in
transit.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

This unit may only be used at the listed
voltage. Use of low voltage will cause
the motor to overheat. Low voltage can
be suspected when the following condi­tions exist:

1. Motor does not develop full power or
speed

2. Lights dim when motor starts and remain
dim when starting compressor

3. A fuse blow out occurs at starting or
when load is applied.

4. There are too many motor operated
appliances on the same circuit, which
causes them to not operate properly.
To avoid excessive voltage drop keep
extension cords as short as possible. If
an extension cord is necessary, do not
use less than 16 gauge for 25 feet, 14
gauge for 50 feet, or 12 gauge for 100
feet or more.

Information that you should pay
special attention to.

THERMAL PROTECTOR

The motor of this compressor is equipped
with a thermal overload protector. If the
motor should overheat, the overload pro­tector will shut off the motor. If this should
occur, unplug the compressor and allow
the motor to cool (approx. 5 minutes),
remove excess load and restart compres­sor. If the compressor fails to start, check
for blown fuses. The compressor may
need to cool further before attempting to
restart. If the overload protector shuts off
the motor frequently you may have a low
voltage condition. See conditions under
Electrical Requirements.

AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF FEATURE

This compressor has a built-in pressure
switch that will automatically shut off the
compressor when the airbrush is not in
use. It has been preset at the factory to
give maximum pressure when the airbrush
is attached to the compressor. The com­pressor will automatically stop when the
airbrush is not in use. It will immediately
begin again as soon as the air is allowed
to flow through the airbrush.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The maximum pressure of the compressor
is 68 PSI. When spraying, the maximum
operating pressure will vary depending
on the size of the fluid nozzle, needle and
/or air cap. For example, when spraying
with the DeVilbiss DAGR™ airbrush with
a .35mm fluid nozzle, the Airblade™ single
piston compressor can maintain 25-30 psi
operating pressure.

SEALING OF AIR HOSE

When attaching the female pipe thread
fitting from your air hose to the compres­sor, it may be necessary to use a quality
pipe thread sealant or PTFE pipe thread
tape on the threaded air outlet of the
compressor. Failure to do so may cause
an air leak and your compressor will not
shut off as it should.

This unit does not require any
lubricants or oil. Applying oil to
any part could result in damage
to the compressor. All bearings,
including those in the motor, are
grease packed.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. This
product is equipped with a cord having
a grounding wire with a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.

Improper installation of the
grounding plug can result in the
risk of electrical shock.

If it is necessary to repair or
replace the cord or plug, do not
connect the grounding wire to

either flat blade terminal. The
wire with insulation, having
an outer surface that is green
with or without yellow stripes,
is the grounding wire. If the
grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether the product
is properly connected, check
with a qualified electrician or
serviceman. If the plug will not
fit the outlet, do not modify it.
Have the proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician. Do not
use temporary adapter plugs
with this compressor.

EXTENSION CORDS

If it is necessary to use an extension cord,
use a 3-wire extension cord that has a
3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot re­ceptacle that will accept the plug on the
product. Your extension must be in good
condition and not less than 16 gauge for
25 feet, 14 gauge for 50 feet and 12 gauge
for 100 feet. Undersized cords will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Compressed air can propel dust,
dirt or loose particles it comes
in contact with. To prevent pos­sible injury always wear safety
goggles or glasses when using
the air compressor. Never point
any nozzle or sprayer toward a
person or any part of the body.
Always turn the air compressor
off before attaching or remov­ing accessories.

Your air compressor is powered
by electricity. Like any other
electrically powered devises,
if it is not used properly it can
cause electrical shock. Always
unplug the air compressor prior
to maintenance or repair. Make
sure to plug the cord into an
electrical outlet with the speci­fied voltage and adequate fuse
protection.

TROUBLESHOOTING

CONDITION CAUSE CORRECTION

Compressor starts and stops during
continuous spray use.

Stopping and starting of the compressor
when the airbrush is not in use.

Your airbrush is not using enough air to
prevent the back pressure buildup.

An air leak in the hose-regulator
connections.

For single piston Airblade
air pressure to airbrush.

See "SEALING OF AIR HOSE" instruc­tions. A short running of the compres­sor for one or two seconds every five
minutes is normal.

PRECAUCIÓN

Información importante que le indica
cómo prevenir daños al equipo o cómo
evitar una situación que pudiera causar
lesiones de poca gravedad.

INSTRUCCIONES DE OPERACIÓN

Cuando desempaque la unidad, observe
cuidadosamente daños que pudieran
haber ocurrido durante el tránsito.

REQUISITOS ELÉCTRICOS

Esta unidad sólo puede utilizarse en el
voltaje indicado. La utilización de voltaje
bajo causará el recalentamiento del motor.
Puede imaginarse que hay voltaje bajo ante
las siguientes situaciones:

1. El motor no desarrolla potencia o ve­locidad máxima

2. Las luces se atenúan cuando el motor ar­ranca y permanecen atenuadas cuando
el compresor arranca

3. Un fusible salta cuando se arranca o
cuando se aplica carga

4. Hay demasiados aparatos accionados
con motor en el mismo circuito, lo que
hace que no funcionen debidamente.
Para evitar caídas excesivas de voltaje,
mantenga las extensiones lo más cor­tas que sea posible. Si se necesita una
extensión, no utilice menos que calibre
16 para 25 pies, calibre 14 para 50 pies,
o calibre 12 para 100 pies o más

INFORMACIÓN GENERAL

La presión máxima del compresor es
68 PSI. Al atomizar, la presión operativa
máxima variará dependiendo del tamaño
de la boquilla de fluido, la aguja y/o el
sombrerete de aire. Por ejemplo, al atomi­zar con el aerógrafo DAGR™ de DeVilbiss
con una boquilla de fluido de 0.35mm, el
compresor Airblade™ de un solo pistón
puede mantener una presión operativa
de 25 a 30 psi.

Nota

Información a la que debe prestar
atención especial.

PROTECTOR TÉRMICO

El motor de este compresor está equipado
con un protector térmico de sobrecarga.
Si el motor se recalentara, el protector de
sobrecarga hará detener el motor. Si esto
ocurre, desenchufe el compresor y deje
que el motor enfríe (aprox. 5 minutos),
elimine la carga excedente y vuelva a ar­rancar el compresor. Si el compresor no
arranca, verifique si hay fusibles fundidos.
Puede ser necesario que el compresor
enfríe más antes de tratar de volver a ar­rancarlo. Si el protector de sobrecarga hace
que el motor se detenga con frecuencia,
es posible que se trate de una condición
de voltaje bajo. Consulte las condiciones
bajo Requisitos eléctricos.

CARACTERÍSTICA DE INTERRUPCIÓN
AUTOMÁTICA

Este compresor tiene un interruptor de
presión incorporado que interrumpirá
(hará detener) automáticamente el
compresor cuando no se esté utilizando
el aerógrafo. Está preprogramado en
fábrica para dar presión máxima cuando
el aerógrafo está acoplado al compresor.
El compresor se detendrá automática­mente cuando no se utiliza el aerógrafo.
Comenzará de inmediato otra vez tan
pronto se deje circular el aire a través del
aerógrafo.

SELLADO DE LA MANGUERA
NEUMÁTICA

Al acoplar el accesorio hembra roscado
de tubo al compresor, puede ser necesario
utilizar un sellador apropiado para rosca
de tubo o cinta para rosca de tubo de
PTFE en la parte roscada de salida de aire
del compresor. No hacerlo puede causar
un escape de aire y su compresor no se
detendrá como debiera.
