•
20 to 30 lbs.: Medium consistency water colors, inks & dyes.
• 30 lbs. or
More: Heavy fluids, acrylics, reduced lacquers, varnishes, paints or ceramic glaze.

1.
Attach hose to air supply and allow air to blow a few seconds. Shut off before attaching to Airbrush. This procedure will
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 HN-1-3, or 5 Needle by exerting a firm twisting motion to fit tapered tube securely into tapered
Needle inlet.
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 H 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 open cup as color may blow out
of cup.
2.
Should H-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.
