remove dirt from airline and hose.
Caution: Hold firmly and point away from face.
2.
Attach hose coupling to the airbrush.
3.
Attach Color Cup or Bottle to HNS-1-3, or 5 Needle by exerting a firm twisting motion to fit tapered tube securely into
tapered Needle inlet. Then wrench tighten locking nut.
4.
Fill Color Cup or Bottle 1/2 to 3/4 full. Use eyedropper or brush for adding small amounts of color to metal color cup. When
using Color Bottle, vent hole must be kept open.
5.
To Spray, hold Airbrush like a pencil comfortably between thumb and forefinger using middle finger as a guide and support.
Like writing, hold forefinger easily on H-155 Finger Button and Press to open air valve.
6.
Regulate volume of color and size of spray by rotating
HT-1, 3 or 5 Tip clockwise to increase and counter clockwise to
decrease flow of color.
7.
Stipple Adjustment: Reducing the airline pressure is the easiest method used when creating a stippled effect with the
airbrush. Pressure can be reduced by using any of the following items: 3A Needle Valve installed on the H-128A Valve
Casing of the Airbrush or by using the R-75 Air Regulator and reducing the pressure.
8.
To adjust for heavier fluids, turn tip wide open, loosen set screw, slide needle back to obtain better flow.
CARE AND CLEANING:
1.
Pour any remaining color back into its original container.
2.
Wipe Color Cup or Bottle clean, using cloth moistened with proper solvent.
3.
Hold Airbrush at a downward angle and put a few drops of solvent through Color Adjusting Part Assembly. To flush out
the remaining color in the HS Color Adjusting Part Assembly, apply pressure to the
H-155 Finger Button.
4.
Apply a tiny dab of Vaseline to the H Color Adjusting Part and HC- Aircap threads every two or three months to prevent color
build up and consequent freezing of the Color Adjusting Part Assembly and Aircap.
HOW TO OPEN CLOGGED FLUID PASSAGES:
1.
Agitate color in Bottle Assembly by placing finger momentarily over HC- Aircap while air is passing through the Airbrush.
This will blow color back into bottle thus opening clogged fluid passages.
Do not do this with a cup as color may blow
out of cup.
2.
Should HS-1, 3 or 5 Color Adjusting Part Assembly become clogged, loosen H-153 Set Screw, unscrew HT-1, 3 or 5 Tip
from HN Needle, gently pull back through ball-shaped support and remove Tip.
3.
Clean Parts carefully, using nothing harder than a wooden toothpick.
4.
To reassemble, reverse this procedure, making sure the shoulder of the Needle seats up against ball-shaped support.
5.
If the needle and tip are completely clogged, soak in a closed bottle of proper solvent until clean.
