Cutaway Handle

The cutaway handle (#19) is a special feature on the Eclipse. Its 

purpose is to free up paint clogs that may have formed at the tip 

of the airbrush without removing the handle and the needle.

1. Unscrew the needle cap (#1).
2. Unscrew the nozzle cap (#2).
3. Adjust the air pressure between 5 and 50 psi.

Lower air pressure will give you coarse stipple whereas higher 

pressure will provide a fine stipple effect. Paint viscosity will also 

effect the stippling texture.

Air Pressure

For the Eclipse, working pressures generally vary between 25 and 

55 psi, depending on what type of work is being done and what 

textures are desired. In general 35 psi or above is preferred to 

take full advantage of the unique, versatile spray characteristics 

of the Eclipse. The viscosity of the paint and your desired spray 

characteristics will also affect your ideal pressure. As a general 

rule, larger amounts of paint, or thicker paints, will be sprayed 

with higher pressures.

PAINT PREPARATION

For non-specific airbrush paints, proper preparation, including  

filtering the paint through a nylon mesh, is critical for best  

performance. Thin paint with its proper solvent, and make  

repeated passes across the work to build up the color. This  

improves your work’s quality and decreases your airbrush’s  

cleaning time.

•  Always spray in well ventilated areas.

•  Do not spray solvent based (flammable) paints around 

open flames.

•  Use the appropriate respirator to safely filter out paint 

vapors particular to your specific paint type.

•  Wear eye protection to prevent paint contact with eyes. 

•  Never exceed the airbrush’s pressure limit (98 psi).
