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.
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.
SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS:
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 ²
Tank)
a. If using a compressor or C0 ² tank,
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 C0 ² tank 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.
