3. PREPARATION
3.1
Remove compressor from packaging and inspect for any
damage. If anything is found to be missing or damaged
contact your supplier.
3.2
Confirm that the mains voltage corresponds with the voltage
shown on the compressor data plate.
3.3
The compressor should be operated in a position that allows
good air circulation around the unit.
4. OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure that you have read, understood and
apply Section 1 safety instructions.
4.1
Situate the compressor in a convenient position for the air
brush work to be undertaken. Ensure that it is resting on a
stable and level surface that will not be affected by the minor
vibration of the unit. Do not rest the compressor on sheets of
paper or card etc. Ensure the rubber feet are in direct contact
with the work surface.
4.2
Do not operate the unit in an enclosed space and ensure that
there is adequate air space around the unit.
4.3
Attach the air brush hose to the 1/8" BSP air outlet.
4.4
Plug the mains lead into a convenient socket but do not
switch on until you have fully prepared the medium to be
sprayed, the air brush and the item/surface to be sprayed.
4.5
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.
4.6
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).
4.7
Refer to the manufacturers 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.
4.8
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.
4.9
When the task is complete use the compressor to blow a
suitable cleaning solvent through your air brush.
4.9
Switch the unit off. Operate the air brush to relieve any
