SPECIAL NOTE:
Read instructions for proper care in handling and operation. Use in
well ventilated area. Always read and follow instructions, cautions, and warnings on
materials being sprayed. See back page for further information.
READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATING
TO OPERATE
1) Attach hose to air supply (compressor, aerosol propellant can, or CO
2
tank). A compressor or CO
2
tank
is more suitable for larger jobs or prolonged spraying. Holding air hose in hand, attach airbrush to air
hose, at hose end opposite air source, by gently turning in clockwise motion onto fitting. Finger tighten
air hose snugly onto airbrush.
2) Air pressure should be set between 15 to 50 p.s.i. The most efficient operating pressure for air brush-
ing is approximately 30 p.s.i. BADGER offers an air regulator w/pressure gauge (50-054) that can be
connected to any compressor to allow for proper air pressure setting. BADGER also recommends and
offers a moisture trap (50-051) for usage when airbrushing in high humidity environments.
3) Attach jar or color cup, containing material to be sprayed, to the airbrush. Attach by inserting stem of
jar adapter or color cup into the jar connector tube located on the bottom front of the airbrush body.
Give the stem a slight counter clockwise turn to snug the jar/color cup securely into place. To remove
jar/color cup when finished pull down and rotate in a clockwise direction.
Once your air source is on, and your airbrush is properly connected and set up, you are ready to begin
airbrushing.
4) To begin operation of the airbrush depress the trigger. This will generate air flow through the airbrush.
Then, by drawing back on the trigger, paint (or whatever material is being sprayed) will be released.
The further the trigger is pulled back the larger the amount of paint that will be sprayed. The size of
line the airbrush will create is determined by the amount of paint being sprayed (how far the trigger is
being pulled back) and at what distance the airbrush is being held from the surface being sprayed
