TS Specifications:
• Dual Action • Siphon Feed • Internal Mix • Head Size .66mm • PTFE Packing
Options for Talon:
• .38mm head (TT-2 tip, TN-2 Needle and TA-2 Aircap) - Great for jobs requiring fine detail
• .66mm Fan Aircap (TAF-3 Aircap, TN-3 Needle and TT-3 tip) Will give a 2-1/2 to 3 inch flat pattern
Working Pressures:
• Operating pressures 15-55 PSI; Maximum pressure 85 PSI. Fan aircap needs 20 PSI or more.
• 20-30 PSI is best for detail spraying w/ properly thinned paint
• Use the higher pressures for thicker material where fine detail is not critical or thin the paint to allow lower pressures.
Equipment Set-up:
The Airbrush is held in the same manner as a pen, with the index finger comfortably over the finger button.
1. Attach air hose to air supply and to airbrush. If using a regulator set pressure between 15 -55 PSI.
Airbrush Operation:
1. Press down on Finger Button to release air and pull back on button to control quantity of color.
2. To spray a fine line without heavy ends, start moving the airbrush without release of color. Then start the color at the
beginning of line and stop the color at the end, but continue the motion of the airbrush after the color has stopped.
3. Practice this movement until you can spray a fine line or a broad pattern without heavy build up at the beginning
or end of your strokes.
4. Speed of movement controls density of color and fading effects at beginning and end of strokes.
5. For detail, hold the airbrush very close to the surface push down for air and pull back very slowly on the Finger
Button to release a small amount of paint.
6. For background work and broad effects, hold the airbrush away from the work surface and pull back on Finger Button
to release required amount of color.
REMOVING / REPLAClNG THE NEEDLE AND HANDLE (Illustration A):
1. Unscrew the handle and loosen the Locknut- #TAL-19 by turning counterclockwise. Depress the Trigger- #TAL-37
and hold in Down position while removing or inserting the needle. This assures the needle moves freely through the
trigger. Gently remove the needle, rotating if necessary, Do NOT force out!
2. Inspect the condition of the needle. If it is bent or misshapen in any way, replace it with a new needle. A bent needle
can damage or split the Tip- #TT causing bubbles or a rough spray pattern.
3. Hold trigger in DOWN position, insert the new needle into the Rocker Assembly- #TAL-18. Gently push needle
through, rotating if necessary, push gently forward until the needle stops in the front of the tip.
4. Release trigger and tighten Locknut by turning clockwise.
REPLACING THE FINGER LEVER ASSEMBLY (Illustration B):
1. Hold trigger so the round side of the stem is to the front and flat side to the back of the airbrush.
2. Insert trigger straight DOWN through the opening in the top of the airbrush shell.
4. You want the bottom of the trigger to cover the round ball on top of the exposed plunger. Once the connection is
made you should have spring action when pushing down on the trigger. Proceed to replace Rocker Assembly and
balance of parts as above. When the needle is inserted it will prevent the removal of the trigger.
1. Remove handle, loosen Locknut- #TAL-19 and withdraw needle about one inch (1”).
2. Un-screw the Aircap- #TA and remove. The Tip- #TT can now be Unscrewed with Wrench #TAL-28.
until it is seated fully forward into tip.
3. Place a new tip into position and tighten with wrench. The tip must be wrench tight. Finally push the needle forward
ADJUSTING WORN PACKING WASHER:
1. If Packing Assembly- #TAL-8 becomes worn or loose it must be tightened or replaced.
2. Tighten packing nut with small screwdriver. To reach packing all internal parts must be removed.
3. Replace needle and make sure packing nut is not too tight. A slight resistance to movement is needed when needle
is passed through.
4. Completely re-assemble guts of airbrush.
