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.
3.3
Confirm that the mains voltage corresponds with the voltage shown on the compressor data plate.
3.4
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 1/4"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 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.
4.7
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.
4.8
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 pressure left in the hose. Disconnect the air brush from the compressor.
4.10
During and immediately after operation, the finned pump head may be hot and should not be touched. If the unit must be moved, lift it
by the handle only. Allow the unit to cool before storing it.
4.11
Should there appear to be any loss of efficiency when spraying ensure first that the air brush is scrupulously clean and functioning
properly. If the air brush is satisfactory then refer to the trouble shooting guide for the compressor.
