INTRODUCTION:

The SA Airbrush is simple in design and operation. Ideal for
Hobbyists and Crafters that are just learning to use an Airbrush.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

Adjustments in the flow of color are made by turning the Needle
Chuck (#12) in to decrease, or out for increased flow. To spray,
press the Finger Button (#8).
To disassemble, loosen the Needle Locknut (#13) by holding the
Needle Chuck (#12) firmly so it will not turn. Unscrew the Needle
Chuck from the Red Handle (#11) and remove the Handle. Now
carefully remove the Needle (#6) and then the Finger Button
Assembly. Note: The angled hole in the Finger Button Stem (#9)
as you remove it because it must be replaced with the angle of
the hole in line with the Needle (#6). The Aircap (#3), Aircap Body
(#4) and Tip (#5) may now be removed. Reassembly should
always be done with care, especially when reinserting the
Needle. Reverse the procedure used for disassembly. After the
Needle has been gently pushed forward into the tip, assemble the

Needle Chuck (#12) and screw it in firmly. Hold the Needle Chuck
while screwing the Needle Locknut (#13) down to lock the needle.
Caution should always be used when reinserting the Needle - too
much pressure can damage the tip.

ADJUSTING OR REPLACING WORN PACKING WASHER:

1. If PTFE Packing-#14 becomes worn or loose it must be
tightened or replaced.

2. You will need a small screwdriver to remove or tighten the
Packing Nut.

3. When replacing your PTFE Packing press Packing onto the
Packing Nut-#14. Use a small screwdriver to tighten packing
nut into shell until it is tight then back out one-half turn, may
vary.

4. Now insert needle - you should feel a slight resistance. If too
loose or too tight adjust the Packing Nut with screwdriver until
you feel some slight resistance.

5. Now completely re-assemble guts of Airbrush.
