AIR COMPRESSOR DC600R

Thank you for purchasing The Paasche DC600R
Airbrush Compressor. Please read this Instruction
Manual carefully before operating the compressor to
get the best performance.

1. Features:

1. Compressor with cover and two airbrush holders.

2. The Air tank provides smooth air flow and eliminates pulsation.

3. Twin cylinders that supply high air flow for one or two airbrushes.

4. Oil free piston type compressor.

5. Includes moisture filter, pressure regulator and gauge.

6. The auto release pressure valve allows the compressor to start without any line
pressure to prolong the motors life.

7. Thermally protected.

8. Low noise level - 47 db’s.

2. Specification:

Type: Twin cylinder Air Compressor with Tank and Cover

Power: 1/6 HP

Speed: 1450/1700 r.p.m

Air output per min./liters: 35~40L/min

Double switch:

Switch 1: Auto start at 43PSI, auto stop at 57PSI

Switch 2: Max pressure at 86PSI, auto shutoff disabled

Pressure adjust range: 0~55 PSI (Depends on Airbrush being used)

Air tank: 3.5L

Fitting Size: 1/4”NPT

3. Operation directory:

1. Connect the air compressor, air hose and airbrush (or other air tools), plug in
compressor, turn on the switch, and the air compressor will start pumping air. The
gauge will show the max pressure, and you can adjust the working pressure by
adjusting the pressure regulator knob.

2. Checking for air leaks. After turning the compressor on wait for the tank to fill
and the compressor to turn off (auto stop function). Then check the needle of the
pressure gauge. If the needle on the gauge is steady there are no leaks. If the
needle drops you have an air leak between one of your threaded connections.
Check to make sure all threaded connections are wrench tight and use Plumber
Tape if needed.

3. The difference between max pressure and working pressure.

A compressor's maximum pressure is the highest pressure it can build up without
the airbrush being triggered. In contrast, the operating pressure is the constant
pressure the compressor can maintain while airbrushing. The working pressure
depends on the nozzle diameter of the airbrush to which it is connected. The larger
the nozzle diameter the greater the amount of air which can escape and the lower
the compressor's working pressure.
