Airbrush Operation:
1. Press down on Trigger to release air and pull back on Trigger to control quantity of color.
2. To spray a fine line without heavy ends, start moving the airbrush without release of color. Then start
the color at the beginning of line and stop the color at the end, but continue the motion of the airbrush
after the color has stopped.
3. Practice until you can spray a fine line or a broad pattern without heavy build up at the beginning or
end of your strokes.
4. Speed of movement controls density of color and fading effects at beginning and end of strokes.
5. For detail, hold the airbrush very close to the surface and then push down for air and pull back very
slowly on the Trigger to release a small amount of paint.
6. For background work and broad effects, hold the airbrush away from the work surface and pull back
on Trigger to release required amount of color.

Working Pressures:
• Operating pressures 20-55 PSI; Maximum pressure 75 PSI
• 20-30 PSI is best for detail spraying w/ properly thinned paint
• Use higher pressures for thicker material where fine detail is not critical
Equipment Set-up:
The Airbrush is held in the same manner as a pen, with the index finger comfortably over the Trigger.
1. Attach airhose to air supply and to airbrush. If using a regulator, set pressure between 20 -30 PSI.
2. Attach the color cup or bottle assembly to color socket.
REMOVING/REPLAClNG THE NEEDLE AND HANDLE :
1. Unscrew the handle and loosen the Locknut #12 by turning counterclockwise. Depress the Trigger
#7 and hold in Down position while removing or inserting the needle. This assures the needle moves
freely through the trigger. Gently remove the needle, rotating if necessary, Do NOT force out!
2. Inspect the condition of the needle. If it is bent or misshapen in any way, replace it with a new needle.
A bent needle can damage or split the Tip #4 causing bubbles or a rough spray pattern.
3. Hold trigger in DOWN position, insert the new needle into the Rocker Assembly #9. Gently push
needle through, rotating if necessary. until the needle stops in the front of the tip.
4. Release trigger and tighten locknut by turning clockwise.
REPLACING THE TRIGGER:
( If the Trigger #8 is removed, it must be replaced inside the airbrush shell, before the Rocker Assembly #9
and needle are re-inserted. )
1. Hold the trigger so the opening in the lever is in-line with the opening in the end of the airbrush shell
and the flat side of the trigger stem is to the rear.
2. Insert trigger so the bottom of the stem covers the round top of the valve plunger.
REPLACING THE TIP:
1. Remove handle, loosen Locknut #12 and withdraw needle about one inch (1").
2. Un-screw the Head #3 and remove. The Tip #4 can now be easily removed by hand. If stuck in shell tap
lightly with wrench.
3. Place a new tip into position and tighten head to shell with a wrench. Push needle forward until it
seats fully forward in tip and tighten locknut.
PERSONAL SETTINGS:
1. Needle Adjustment Sleeve - Used to increase or decrease spring tension for the trigger pull back.
Thread into the shell until the trigger stroke feels comfortable. Threading in until it stops can cause
the trigger to jam.
