Fine-Line Spray
1. Depress the main lever to start air flow.
2. Position the airbrush close to the surface, between 1/16 and 1/2 inch is
common.
3. Pull the main lever back slightly to start the flow of paint.
Line thickness can be controlled by adjusting the distance between the
airbrush and the surface and also by varying the paint flow by manipulating
the main lever’s position.
Wide-Line and Background Spraying
1. Depress the main lever.
2.Positiontheairbrushfurtherawayfromthesurface,from1to6inchesis
common.
3. Pull the main lever back much farther releasing more paint to cover the
bigger area.

line’s width. Increasing the air pressure will also affect the spray width.
Air Pressure
For the NEO, working pressures generally vary between 10 and 60 psi, de-
pending onwhattypeof workisbeingdone andwhat textures are desired.
A good working
pressure may average around 15-25 psi. The viscosity of the paint and

WARNING: Do not exceed 100psi.
Paint Preparation
For non-airbrush-ready paints, proper preparation, including ltering
the paint through a nylon mesh, is recommended for best performance.

relatively thin and make repeated passes across the work to achieve the
desired shade. This will also improve the
quality of your work and decrease the cleaning time of your airbrush.
Safety Tips
• Always spray in a well-ventilated area.
• Do not spray solvent-based (flammable) paints around open flames.
• Use the appropriate respirator to safely lter out the paint vapors par-
ticular
to the kind of paint you are using.
• Wear eye protection to prevent paint contact with eyes.
• Never use air pressure that exceeds the airbrush’s limit (100 psi).
GENERAL OPERATION
3
Cleaning the Airbrush (TRN2)
1. Remove the paint bottle.
2. Attach a bottle containing the appropriate cleaning solution. (Note:
Medea Airbrush Cleaner works great for water-based media.)
3. Spray until the solution sprays clear.
4. Remove the bottle of cleaning solution.
5. Spray air until the airbrush sprays dry.
6. Attach a bottle containing the next color.
7. Repeat cleaning procedure when nished.
Cleaning the Airbrush (TRN1)
1. Dump out the color cup’s excess paint.
2. Rinse the cup with the appropriate cleaning solution. (Note: Medea
Airbrush Cleaner works great for water-based media.)
3. Use a paper towel to wipe out any left-over paint.
4. Fill the bottom of the cup with cleaner.
5. Spray cleaner until the spray is clear.
6. Add the next color to the color cup.
7. Repeat cleaning procedure when nished.
Cleaning the Needle (TRN2, TRN1)
Before removing the needle, clean the airbrush as recommended.
1. Unscrew the handle from the airbrush body.
2. Loosen the needle chucking nut.
3. Gently pull the needle straight out.
4. Fold a soft cloth damp with cleaner over the needle.
5. Rotate the needle to gently wipe the residual paint off.
6. Carefully insert the needle into the airbrush until it seats fully against
the nozzle.
CAUTION: The most probable time to damage the needle is when the
needlepassesthroughthemainlever. Iftheneedlestopsabruptly,retract
and examine the trigger mechanism for proper assembly and re-insert
the needle.
7. Tighten the needle chucking nut nger tight.
• Pull the main lever back and forth to visually conrm the needle’s abil-
ity to move.
8. Screw the handle back onto the airbrush body.
Before Each Session
Spraywaterortheappropriatecleaningsolutionthroughtheairbrushto
make sure the airbrush is working properly.
After Each Session
Or any time the airbrush becomes clogged:
1. Increase the air pressure.
2. Spray cleaning solution for a short time.
3. Clean the needle if necessary
Cleaning the airbrush this way helps clean the paint passage, the nozzle
and the needle thoroughly.
Periodically
To ensure smooth main lever action lubricate the needle and the main
lever
mechanism when necessary.
1. Unscrew the handle.
2. Loosen the needle chucking nut.
3. Remove the needle.
4. Coat the needle lightly at the front where the taper starts with a high-
quality
lubricant, like Medea Super Lube.
5. Wipe the needle with a soft, clean cloth, leaving a light coat of lube
behind.
6. Re-insert the needle gently into the airbrush.
7. Tighten the needle chucking nut.
8. Screw the handle onto the airbrush body.
Use atinydrop of lubeonthe mainlever’s piston. DONOT over-lube the
needle
or the main lever mechanism, since it is possible to transfer excess lube
into the nozzle causing severe paint flow problems. DO NOT use light

CAUTION: If it becomesabsolutely necessarytodismantle theairbrush
remember that in most situations tools are not needed.
MAINTENANCE
NEVER soak your entire airbrush in any liquid. NEVER
store your airbrush with spray medium or cleaning
agents in the uid cup.
Begin by attaching the small end of an
Iwata air hose (sold separately) to your
airbrush.
Attach the other end of your airbrush
hose to an air source such as the NEO
AIR for Iwata Miniature Air Compressor
(sold separately).
Use airbrush-ready paint or be sure your paint is thinned to the
consistency of skim milk. Thicker paint may require spraying at a
higher psi.

For the gravity-feed NEO CN, remove lid by pulling o. Put a few drops of paint
into the color cup and push lid back on. (Note you have 2 choices of cup size).
For the siphon-feed NEO BCN, put paint into the Big Mouth Bottle (included)
and attach the bottle to the bottom of the airbrush by pushing it into the
airbrush. (Bottle does not screw in.)

Never remove the nozzle unless it is damaged or clogged.
Always keep your airbrush clean. Never leave paint in your airbrush as dried paint can
clog a nozzle. Although engineered from durable, high-quality materials, the nozzle is
small and delicate. Accidental damage caused by cross-threading, over-tightening,
dropping the airbrush, forcing a needle or tools into the nozzle and normal wear are
not covered under the warranty. Replacement parts and repair services are available
through your local aliate.
