3.4.
Turn the air ON and test your spray on a suitable test panel to get the "feel" of your air brush.
3.5.
Make any necessary spray adjustments. The paint flow and spray pattern are adjusted by turning the
paint seal (24A). The seal is completely closed when it has been turned clockwise to the stop point. To
obtain various degrees of paint flow, turn the seal anti-clockwise. The maximum flow will be attained by
turning the seal approximately 4 turns anti-clockwise.
3.6.
Holding the air brush about 6 inches from the surface press the trigger. Using short strokes, move the air
brush at a steady rate, parallel to the surface, fig.3. Best results are achieved with a good constant
motion. Start the motion before pressing the trigger, and follow a through motion after releasing the
trigger, fig.4.
3.7.
Apply a light coat of paint, let it dry, then apply another coat. Continue with this method until the desired
coverage is reached. DO NOT spray too heavily.
Note: When using quick drying paints, it is advisable to clean or immerse the fluid end of the air brush in a
compatible solvent between sprays.
CAUTION: ENSURE ADEQUATE VENTILATION. DO NOT SPRAY NEAR NAKED FLAMES.

4. CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Note: Numbers in brackets refer to item numbers in the parts diagram.
Note: To achieve the best results when spraying it is always best to start with the air brush clean and totally free
from old paint deposits, dirt etc. Therefore the air brush should be thoroughly cleaned immediately after
each operation.
4.1.
Remove the empty paint jar, and wipe the inside thoroughly, including the lid.
4.2.
Fill the jar half full of thinners and re-attach to the lid.
4.3.
Spray into a suitable container, this will clean the needle, paint seal and air tip. Hold a soft cloth over the
air cap and spray again, this will force air and thinners through the air brush and clean the internal
moving parts. Should the air brush become clogged with paint, remove the fluid needle assembly as
follows:
4.3.1. Undo the lock nut (24B).
4.3.2. Prevent the paint seal (24A) from rotating and, using the spanner provided, unscrew the fluid needle.
4.4.
Clean the fluid needle (24C), paint seal (24A) and air tip (1) with a small piece of cotton wool dipped in
thinners.
4.5.
Re-assemble the air brush by reversing the paragraphs 4.3.1 and 4.3.2. above.
