USING THE AIRBRUSH KIT
Mix the colours or dilute the paint/enamel, then fill about 2/3 (or less) of the tank with the colour (F / I). Subsequently
connect the colour tank to the attachment under the airbrush (E) ensuring it is well secured. The air supply must
then be attached to the airbrush (A) by means of the pipe connected to the compressor. Switch on the compressor
(adjusting the pressure reducing valve so that the right working pressure is obtained) and press the push-button
(B) to let the colour out.
With the pipe and the adapter (H) a compressed air can can be used: the pipe must be connected to the adapter
and the latter must be screwed to the can. To adjust the air supply the wheel (G) must be turned. To interrupt the
air supply the wheel must be turned anti-clockwise until it stops.
The colour flow can be regulated by adjusting the opening of the nozzle (D): to obtain a wide spray the bush of the
nozzle's hood (D) must be turned anti-clockwise, to obtain a narrower spray this must be turned clockwise.
As long as they are compatible, any combination of colour and paint/enamel can be used.
Particular attention must be paid to ensure that the colour and/or the paint do not contain lumps or dirt. If is very
thick the paint should be mixed with a commercially available thinner according to a 1:1 ratio. Paint dries very
quickly; spraying must therefore be a continuous operation with no excessively lengthy interruptions.
Paint temperature should, if possible, not be lower than +17° C. The area to be painted should also not be excessively
cold.

MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the air supply during maintenance on the tool.
Regularly clean and dry the filter in the system and the pneumatic tool air inlet opening.
Lubricate any quick-disconnect coupling on the system to prevent jamming.
Drain condensation from air filter and from the compressor on a daily basis.
In order to avoid rust formation and to minimize wear, clean and lubricate the tool after each use.
Check the tool regularly on loose bolts/screws or parts.
In case of power loss: have the tool repaired.
Only trained and qualified engineers are allowed to adjust or repair the tool.
The tool should be maintained regularly to minimize the noise emission and occurring vibration.
Warning: to avoid damaging the washers never immerse the whole airbrush in nitre or synthetic solvents or in
water.
After each use the colour tank should be removed and emptied, arefully cleaned and half filled with solvent. The
tank should then be reconnected to the airbrush and the solvent must be sprayed until it comes out clean.
In order to clean the tool from solvent residues, this operation should then be repeated without the tank.
Dry the airbrush with a cotton cloth. Should the nozzle become obstructed, clean the needle and the nozzle itself
from paint residue. To unscrew the needle's head (Pic. 2, N) from the airbrush, . Slip the needle off the nozzle's
components (L), remove the rubber washer (M) to avoid damaging it and clean. To clean the needle/nozzle, the
same solvent used tomix paint can be used. To reassemble the needle, follow the same procedure backwards.
