5.4. switch on the unit. the compressor will then provide a constant air flow to the air brush. the compressor motor will cut-in and out
automatically to maintain the required pressure as determined by the user setting on the regulator.
5.5. refer to the air brush instructions for the correct operating pressure. to adjust the pressure, first pull up the regulator knob to unlock it.
to increase the pressure, turn the knob clockwise. to decrease the pressure, turn the knob anti-clockwise. monitor the result on the
pressure gauge. When correct pressure has been obtained, push down the regulator knob to lock it. (See below).
5.6. refer to the manufacturer’s instructions with your air brush for the correct spraying technique. do not leave the compressor
running for any length of time with the air brush attached but not being used. if there is a pause in your work switch the compressor off.
5.7. if the operating note of the compressor changes, there may be a blockage within the air brush or the air hose may be pinched. the unit
should be switched off immediately and the source of the blockage investigated and eliminated.
5.8. When the task is complete use the compressor to blow a suitable cleaning solvent through your air brush.
5.9. switch the unit off. operate the air brush to relieve any pressure left in the hose. disconnect the air brush from the compressor.
5.10. during and immediately after operation, the finned pump head may be hot and should not be touched. if the unit must be moved, lift it by
the handle only. Allow the unit to cool before storing it.
5.11. should there appear to be any loss of efficiency when spraying, ensure first that the air brush is scrupulously clean and functioning
properly. if the air brush is satisfactory then refer to the trouble shooting guide for the compressor.
6. MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any maintenance, switch compressor off, unplug it from the mains electricity supply, de-pressurise the tank
and allow unit to fully cool down. Keep the unit clean at all times.
DO NOT cover any of the ventilation slots. DO NOT allow any extraneous material to enter the unit via any of the ventilation openings.
6.1. store in dust free and dry conditions.
