AIR SUPPLY
For best results, the air supply to the airbrush must be clean and dry, with no oil
or water contamination. Follow the air compressor manufacturer’s guidelines
on installation and operation to ensure that your air supply is as clean as
possible.
The compressed air supply line to the airbrush must be fitted with a filter
capable of removing any oil or water together with a suitable pressure
regulator.
Higher pressure and contaminated air will shorten the airbrush life due to faster
wear and could become a safety hazard.
Water in the air line will also cause damage and may contaminate the paint
being used. Therefore ensure the air supply is properly filtered.
Line pressure, or supply hose inside diameter, should be increased to
compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 10 m). Minimum hose diameter
should be 10mm (3/8") ID and fittings should have the same inside dimensions.
AIRBRUSH ASSEMBLY
Connect one end of the mini air hose (supplied) to the airbrush. If using a
compressor, connect the airline hose to the airbrush mini hose, using the hose
adapter (supplied). Set the air pressure at the compressor to approx. 2 bar.
Alternatively, for smaller jobs, your airbrush can be used with CLARKE airbrush
propellant cans by screwing the air hose connector onto the air can.
Your airbrush is now ready for use.
PREPARATION BEFORE PAINTING
Mix the paint to the correct viscosity for spraying according to the
manufacturer’s instructions, make sure that you have enough thinners left to
clean the spray gun after use.
Do not fill the paint container more than 3/4 full. Make sure that the threaded
joint between the container and the airbrush are clean and before screwing
on the container. Always clean around the container sealing lip and keep any
container vent clear.
Remember that some modern paints require specialist respiratory
protection...always consult the paint manufacturers instructions.
