IMPORT

To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, and injury to persons, read all the instructions before using the tool. It is also recommended that you read the compressor manual and follow all compressor safety instructions.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE, AND/OR INJURY. Keep the work area clean and well lighted. Cluttered benches and dark areas increase the risks of electric shock, fire, and

injury to persons. Place cleaning rags and other flammable waste materials in a secured metal container. The container should be disposed of properly in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.

RISK OF FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION. To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, never spray in a confined area. Always spray in a well ventilated area. RISK OF FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION. Do not smoke while spraying. Do not spray where sparks or flames are present. RISK OF FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION. Do not spray flammable materials in the vicinity of an open flame or near ignition sources. Motors, electrical equipment and controls can

cause electrical arcs that will ignite a flammable gas or vapor. Never store flammable liquids or gases in the vicinity of the compressor.

RISK OF INJURY. Never point or spray toward yourself or anyone else or serious skin or eye injury could occur.

RISK TO BREATHING/INHALATION HAZARD. Always wear protective clothing and an approved MSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator if there is a chance of inhaling anything that is being sprayed. RISK TO BREATHING/INHALATION HAZARD. Do not spray acids, corrosive materials, toxic chemicals, fertilizers or pesticides. Using these materials may result in death or

serious injury.

RISK OF EYE INJURY. Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety goggles when using an air brush. It is capable of propelling materials such as metal chips, sawdust, and other

debris at high speed, which could result in serious eye injury.

RISK OF INJURY. Disconnect the tool from the air source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, cleaning or storing the tool.

RISK OF BURSTING AND/OR INJURY. Check for damaged air hose. Keep the air hose

away from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Inspect the air hose periodically and replace it if it becomes worn or damaged.

RISK OF EXPLOSION AND/OR INJURY. Use compressed air regulated to a maximum pressure at or below the rated pressure of any attachments. This air brush is designed

to operate best at pressures between 15-50 PSI. Never attempt to operate the air brush at pressures in excess of 50 PSI. Normal operating pressure is 30 PSI. Exceeding the maximum pressure rating could cause an explosion resulting in serious injury. RISK OF EXPLOSION AND/OR INJURY. Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents—for example: 1,1,1- trichlorethane and methylene chloride—can chemically react with aluminum used in most spray equipment and can cause an explosion hazard. Read the label or data sheet for the material you intend to spray. DO NOT use spray materials containing these solvents.

AIR SOURCE SAFETY

RISK OF BURSTING AND/OR INJURY. Never connect to an air source that is greater than 50 psi. Over pressurizing is able to result in bursting, abnormal operation, breakage of

the tool, or serious injury to persons. Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air with the output air pressure set between 15-50 PSI. Always verify prior to using the tool that the air source has been adjusted to the rated air pressure or within the rated air pressure range.

RISK OF EXPLOSION AND INJURY. Never use oxygen, or combustible gases as an air source for the tool. Such gases are capable of explosion and serious injury to persons.

TING INSTRUCTIONS

MIXING AND THINNING PAINT:

Most jar paints are too heavy to spray with an air brush. Below are some rules for thinning and mixing paints

before use.

1. When mixing colors, paints must be compatible. Mix enamels with enamels and enamel solvents, lacquers with lacquers and lacquer thinner, etc.

2. Mix paint thoroughly. Make sure paint is free of lumps, strain if necessary.

3. Enamel and Lacquer paint should be thinned to approximately 1 part paint to 1 part thinner. For automotive lacquer, read the manufacturers recommendations before use.

4. Lacquer paint dries very quickly. To avoid problems, the air brush should not be set down for more than a few moments before resuming spray.

YING INSTRUCTIONS:

SPRA

1. Fill the air brush jar (A) with thinned and thoroughly mixed paint (no more than 2/3 full).

2. Place the lid (B) on the jar and tighten.

3. Attach the airline hose (C) coupling nut (D) to the air brush hose fitting (E).

4. Attach the jar (A) to the air brush (J) by firmly inserting the jar valve stem (I) into the end of the fluid needle (K).

5. Attach the airline hose (C) to an air supply (Compressor, aerosol propellant can or C0

Tank) a. If using a compressor or C0²tank,

attach the small end of the 1/4” pipe adapter (F) to the end of the airline hose (C) and the other end to your compressor air hose. Adjust the output air pressure on the compressor to between 15 and 50 PSI depending on the effect desired. NOTE: Normal operating pressure is approximately 30 PSI. For best results an air/water separator is recommended for your air compressor

This air brush is designed to operate best at pressures between 15-50 PSI. Never attempt to operate this air brush at pressures in excess of 50 PSI.

b. If using an aerosol propellant can, attach the regulator valve (G) to the end of the airline hose

(C). Close the regulator valve (H) by turning it clockwise. Place the regulator valve (G) on top of the aerosol propellant can and tighten in a clockwise direction. Open the regulator valve (H) by turning counter clockwise and adjust until the desired pressure is reached. This will require testing the air brush until the desired effect is achieved. NOTE: For large jobs, a compressor or C0²tank is

more practical.

6. Press the trigger (N) and test the spray on old newspapers or other scrap material. Hold the air brush about 6 inches from your work surface.

7. To make paint flow and spray pattern adjustments, turn the fluid cap (L) (maximum flow - full counter-clockwise, minimum flow - full clockwise).

8. Enamel and Lacquer paints can dry quickly, so keep extra enamel reducer or thinner in the spare jar (M). If the paint should dry, remove the air brush jar (A) from the air brush, remove the lid (B) and place it on the spare jar. Attach the jar to the air brush (refer to number 4 above). Spray the reducer or thinner through the air brush until the spray is clear.

Never spray in a confined area. Always spray in a well-ventilated area. Be sure that paint or fumes cannot reach any flame.

Always wear protective clothing and an approved MSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting facemask or respirator if there is a chance of inhaling anything that is being sprayed.

AINTING TIPS

PPAINTING TIPS

One of the most characteristic and important functions of the airbrush is its ability to apply color in soft, sub-

tle tonal graduations which may range from the lightest of tints to complete opaque coverage. Any amount of control can be obtained, so that color can be applied in patterns ranging from a thin pencil line to a broad spray.

1. Prepare the object to be painted by masking off any area that is not to be painted.

2. Clean the object so that it is free of grease, dust, etc.

3. If the item is small, place on a pedestal or hang with a piece of wire so there is access to all areas to be painted.

4. Hold the nozzle about 6 inches from the surface of the object to be painted.

5. Using short strokes, move the air brush constantly at a steady pace, parallel to the surface.

6. Do not spray too heavy. Apply light coat, let dry, etc., until desired coverage is achieved.

LEARN T

Hold your air brush much the same you would a pen

but with your index finger on the trigger. You can drape the air hose over your forearm to keep it out of your way. The air brush should feel comfortable in your hand and your hand and upper body should be relaxed. Hold the air brush perpendicular to your painting surface

To avoid blobs, runs and sags, keep the air brush in

motion at all times, before, after and while the trigger is depressed. If air brush motion is uneven, paint finish will be uneven (see figure 2). Practice painting on a piece of scrap material or cardboard until the test coating results are acceptable.

Runs and sags are caused by one or more of the

following errors:

1. “Freezing” or forgetting to release trigger at the

end of stroke.

2. Holding the air brush still or moving too slowly.

3. Holding the air brush too close to the surface.

NOTE: Always keep the air brush parallel to the surface.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: Keep the air brush clean. To avoid clogging the air and paint passages and possibly ruining

the air brush, clean the air brush immediately after each use. NOTE: Paint and other material will dry quickly in the

small passages rendering the air brush useless due to the difficulty of removing hardened paint from the passages inside the air brush. If the passages become clogged and the air brush stops working, follow the instructions in

“TO CLEAN PASSAGES” below.

After Each Use

Shut off the air supply to the tank and release the pressure in the tank before cleaning

1. Drain and clean the paint jar. To clean the air brush passages, fill the paint jar about 1/2 full with thinner or approved solvent. Attach the jar to the air brush and spray the liquid through the air brush until it sprays clear. Hold a soft cloth over the fluid cap and force air and thinner back and forth thru needle, cap and tip. If the air brush becomes clogged, see “to clean clogged passages” below.

to avoid injury.

To avoid the risk of fire and/or explosion, place cleaning rags and other flammable waste materials in a secured metal container. The container should be disposed of properly in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.

When blowing thinner through the air brush, the tip should be aimed away from any person to avoid blowing solvent into the eyes or onto skin causing possible injury.

4 - ENG

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

To Clean Clogged Passages

1. Disassemble the air brush by using the following procedure (see figure 3): a. Hold fluid cap (P) and locknut (Q) with the thumb and index finger. b. Using the wrench provided (S), place on the flat surface of the fluid needle (R) and turn counter

clockwise. c. Remove fluid needle (R). d. Clean the fluid needle (R), fluid cap (P) and air tip (O) with a piece of cotton dipped in thinner or

approved solvent. Afine bristled brush will also work. e. Reassemble the air brush by reversing the above procedure.

NOTICE: Never use metal objects to clean precisely drilled passages. Damaged passages will cause improper spraying.
