Operation of the AirBrush Kit.
The AirBrush and compressor are designed in a way that the compressor only starts when the airbrush is triggered, this is an auto start stop function. There is also an overheat cutout protection device inbuilt into the compressor. Operation by a re-chargeable battery power pack is an option that allows full popular mobility without worrying about power leads. The Airbrush is supplied with a 0.3mm Needle Diameter, a 3mm Hose Connector and a 7cc capacity Ink Cup.
How to Set-up the AirBrush Kit.
Connect one end of the hose to the AirBrush and the other end of the hose to the Compressor hose fitting on the Mini-Compressor. Connect the power adaptor into the wall and the compressor power socket. Install the AirBrush holder into the hole located in the top of the Mini-Compressor.
How to Use the AirBrush Kit.
Remove the lid from the AirBrush ink/colour pot and pour in a small amount of ink or colour into pot, up to a maximum of 7ml and replace AirBrush lid. Press the red power button on the side of the mini-compressor. Press the Airbrush trigger button and the compressor will start up and air/ink will be delivered through the AirBrush. As soon as you release the AirBrush trigger, the mini-compressor will stop.
To adjust the amount of colour being sprayed, use the adjustment screw on the end of the AirBrush. Turn the adjustment screw anti-clockwise to increase the colour flow and clockwise to decrease. During periods of rest, place the AirBrush in the holder on the top of the Mini-Compressor.
