(#6). If the needle stops suddenly, pull
it out and check the trigger for proper
positioning, then re-insert the needle.
Release the trigger and tighten the needle
locknut.
Lubrication
To insure smooth trigger action,
periodically remove the needle and
coat it with a high-quality lubricant (like
DeVilbiss Spray Lube). Wipe the needle
with a soft cloth, leaving it lightly coated.
Re-insert the needle and re-tighten the
needle locknut. Place a few drops of lube
in the trigger slot in the airbrush body.
NOTE: Do not use WD-40 or light
machine oil for lubrication, which
will cause the needle to bind as it
moves through the Teflon® packing.
Do not over-lubricate the needle or
the trigger. The excess lube could be
pushed into the nozzle, causing paint
flow problems.
REPLACEMENT PARTS AND
ACCESSORIES
NOTE: If you must disassemble the
airbrush, please do not use pliers.
Tools are rarely needed. If needed,
however, use a small wrench to
unscrew and lightly re-tighten the head
cap (#3), which seats the nozzle on to
the airbrush body. Do not overtighten!
Nozzle (#4)
If the nozzle becomes worn or damaged,
it must be replaced. Before replacing
the nozzle, protect the needle by pulling
it back slightly. To do this, remove the
handle (#21), loosen the needle locknut
(#19), and carefully pull the needle back
through the nozzle. Remove the head cap
(#3) and pull out the nozzle. If it is stuck,
loosen it by gently pushing the side of it
with your thumb. Pull the nozzle off and
replace it with the new one. Re-assemble
the head cap and tighten it by hand or
lightly with a wrench. Do not over tighten.
Re-seat the needle into the nozzle by
gently pushing it forward until it seats
with the fluid nozzle. Tighten the needle
locknut and continue reassembly.
NOTE: To insure even wear, change the
needle at the same time as the nozzle.
Needle (#20)
DeVilbiss needles are made of precision
machined stainless steel and are designed
for long-term use. However, because of
their long tapers and very fine tips they
can be easily damaged. If the needle
point becomes bent or hooked, it should
be straightened before being pulled back
through the nozzle or the nozzle could
become damaged. If the needle is not
bent too badly, roll it between your finger
and a smooth flat surface to straighten
the point.
Quick Disconnect
(Optional Accessory)
A quick disconnect stem is screwed on
to each airbrush and a quick disconnect
adapter is screwed on to the air hose.
This allows for quick changes between
airbrushes using one hose.
Hose
Use high quality, flexible DeVilbiss
braided nylon air hose. Order DGR-123
(802769) 10ʼ air hose assembly or DGR-
124 (802770) 10ʼ air hose assembly with
quick disconnect.
