Before Putting Into Operation - EINHELL BT-AB 19/4 Kit Operating Instructions Manual

•
The compressor may be used only in suitable
rooms (with good ventilation and an ambient
temperature from +5 °C to 40 °C). There must
be no dust, acids, vapors, explosive gases or
inflammable gases in the room.
•
The compressor is designed to be used in dry
rooms. It is prohibited to use the compressor
in areas where work is conducted with spray-
ed water.

6. Before putting into operation

•
Before you connect the equipment to the
power supply make sure that the data on the
rating plate are identical to the supply voltage.
•
Ensure that there are adequate cleaning pro-
ducts available for all the paints you intend to
use in the spray gun.
•
Ensure that room temperature and ventilation
are suitable for the paints you intend to use
(refer to the manufacturer's instructions).
•
To achieve particularly good results refer to
the literature on the subject of airbrush coa-
ting (not supplied).
6.1 Assembly (Fig. 1, 3, 4)
•
Secure the holder (7) to the compressor
housing.
•
Secure the compressed air hose (11) to the
compressed air connector (6).
•
Secure the airbrush spray gun (12) to the th-
readed adapter on the compressed air hose.
•
The airbrush spray gun can be placed in the
holder on the device (7) during short breaks
in painting.
•
The additional holder (16) for the airbrush
spray gun can be secured to a wall or work-
bench using screws (the screws are not sup-
plied).
6.2 Preparing the workpieces
•
Clean the workpieces before painting them.
A surface which is free of grease, oil and dust
will improve the result. Depending on the sur-
face and paint, it may be necessary to sand
the surface before applying the paint.
•
If you apply several layers of paint, ensure
that the products you use are compatible with
each other.
•
Mask any surfaces which you do not wish to
paint for example using templates, masking
foil, masking tape or the like (not supplied).

•
Depending on the paint you are using and the
color you wish to achieve, it may be necessa-
ry to apply a prime coating.
7. Operation
7.1 On/Off switch (Fig. 2)
To switch on the equipment set the On/Off switch
(10) to position "I".
Move the On/Off switch to position "0" to switch
off the equipment.
7.2 Pressure setting (Fig. 1, 5)
•
Pull the screw (8) to set the pressure. The
pressure can now be set by turning the screw
clockwise or anti-clockwise. The set pressure
is shown on the pressure gage (9).
•
Then press the screw to lock it in the set posi-
tion.
•
The set pressure can be drawn from the com-
pressed air connector (6).
•
Use a low pressure setting for low viscosity
paint and small quantities of paint.
•
Use a higher pressure setting for higher vis-
cosity paint and larger quantities of paint.
•
Carry out a painting test to help you set the
pressure.
•
Do not use pressure settings of less than 1
bar. If the output pressure is set to below 1
bar, the compressor will not start because of
pressure differences set at the factory.
7.3 Pressure switch
The compressor has a pressure switch which cuts
out when the set pressure has been reached.
The cut-out pressure is set at the factory to ap-
prox. 4 bar with the pressure regulator fully ope-
ned (8). As compressed air is used, the compres-
sor will cut in again after the pressure falls below
a lower limit set at the factory.
