Getting Started and Operation
• Screw the colour cup (19) and the nut (20) onto the connection for the colour cup (10). Align
the colour cup as such that the airbrush gun can be held perpendicular to the object.
• Connect the compressed air tube of your compressor to the compressed air connection (16).
Use the enclosed connecting adapter (17), if you need to.
• Fill the colour cup (19) with appropriate diluted colour.
• Switch the compressor on.
• Before you start spraying the object to be coated, it may be useful to run a trial by spraying
on a piece of cardboard or a sheet, so that you can adjust the appropriate pressure on your
compressor and check the colour consistency.
• With the limit screw (1) for the quantity of colour that will be supplied, you can set the maxi-
mum quantity of colour to be sprayed. Clockwise rotation means less colour, a counter-
clockwise rotation means more colour.
• The amount of colour is regulated by the control lever (15) while spraying. The further you pull
the control lever (15) back, the more colour is fed into the spray nozzle (13).
• Make sure that you are holding the airbrush gun always perpendicular to the object. The
colour cup (19) is swivel-mounted so that spraying from any position becomes possible.
• Run the gun steadily and evenly over the object.
