Our compressor is equipped with a 1/8 inch port. If you need 1/4 inch or
other dimensions, you will need to use an adapter.
̥
Air hoses usually have a rubber-coated inner surface to guarantee tight-
ness. If this is not the case, air can escape here and the auto start / stop
function may not work. Possible leaks at the screw connection can be avoi-
ded with Teflon tape.
̥
Connect the air compressor, the air hose and the airbrush (or other pneu-
matic tool), plug in the power and turn on the unit, the compressor will
start working. The manometer shows the maximum pressure, the working
pressure can be adjusted with the pressure regulator.
̥
Check the tightness. Let the device charge the maximum pressure, the stop
function stops automatically when maximum pressure is reached. Check
the manometer, keep the needle steady, all hoses are tight. If the needle
drops quickly, air is released at a joint. Please check all connections and
eliminate the error, otherwise the performance of the compressor can be
affected by the frequent use of the start / stop function.
̥
Difference of maximum pressure / working pressure: The maximum pres-
sure of a compressor is the highest pressure that the device can build up.
When a connected airbrush is opened, the air shoots through the nozzle
with that pressure. The working pressure is the constant pressure the com-
pressor can maintain during airbrushing. The working pressure is related to
the size of the nozzle used: the larger the diameter, the larger the air that
escapes, the lower the working pressure of the device.
̥
The AS186 compressor has an air tank that stores the air before it is deli-
vered to the airbrush (or other pneumatic tools). The air tank offers many
advantages:
a. You have an air reservoir from which you can draw the air.
b. You can take the air out of the tank at a regulated, even pressure,
rather than the average pressure of the compressor.
c. With the help of the tank you can avoid the tiny pulsation of the air
caused by the physical movement of the piston.
d. The life of the engine increases, as it is only in operation when the
tank has to be filled.
e. Through the tank moisture is removed from the air.
̥
At the bottom of the regulator is a water drain valve, moisture can escape
by opening the valve.
