Storage
• Always disconnect the airbrush from its air supply source before
any maintenance on the airbrush body.
• When not in use, tools and equipment should be kept in a dry
location to inhibit rust.
Basic Cleaning
• Empty the reservoir cup or jar of used medium.
• Remove and wipe clean the reservoir cup or jar.
• Reattach the clean reservoir cup or jar and ll with the
appropriate cleaning solution.
• Spray the cleaner through the airbrush until it sprays clear.
• Unscrew and remove the handle.
• Loosen the needle locking nut.
• Pull the needle out & wipe down the needle.
• Push the needle back into the airbrush & re-tighten the needle
locking nut carefully.
• Replace the handle and screw back onto the airbrush body.
• Re-connect to the airline & spray until dry.

Spray into a cleaning jar or filter of some kind. This keeps overspray out of the air

Setting up & using the Airbrush
• Attach the hose to the compressor.
(We recommend our AS-18A or AS-186 compressor for this model)
• Set air pressure to 2-40 PSI on the compressor.
• Remove the protection cap from the airbrush.
• Add your chosen medium to the reservoir cup.
• Press down on the trigger to allow air to ow through the brush.
• Pull the trigger backwards to start spraying.
You can vary the amount of medium ow by tightening or loosening
the adjusting screw at the rear of the airbrush.
Always test spray before starting your main project.
Mixing & Thining Medium
Generally, the most common medium used in conjunction with an
airbrush is paint. It is highly recommended that you dilute your
medium down to the same consistency as semi skimmed milk.
Read the directions on the container to see if thinners or water
should be used to dilute the medium to the correct consistency.
When mixing medium, it’s highly recommended you use the same
brand and type for best results.
Please Note:
Use the correct solvent for thinning: Use lacquer thinner for all lacquer medium,
paint thinner for all oil based medium, enamel thinners for all enamel based medium,
acrylic thinners for acrylic and clean water for water based medium.
Aways read the label of your selected medium.
