1. Features:
1. Compressor with cover and two airbrush holders.
2. The Air tank provides smooth air flow and eliminates pulsation.
3. Twin cylinders that supply high air flow for one or two airbrushes.
4. Oil free piston type compressor.
5. Includes moisture filter, pressure regulator and gauge.
6. The auto release pressure valve allows the compressor to start without any line
pressure to prolong the motors life.
7. Thermally protected.
8. Low noise level - 47 db’s.
2. Specification:
Type: Twin cylinder Air Compressor with Tank and Cover
Power: 1/6 HP
Speed: 1450/1700 r.p.m
Air output per min./liters: 35~40L/min
Double switch:
Switch 1: Auto start at 43PSI, auto stop at 57PSI
Switch 2: ax pressure at 86PSI, auto shutoff disabled
Pressure adjust range: 0~55 PSI (Depends on Airbrush being used)
Air tank: 3.5L
Fitting Size: 1/4”NPT
3. Operation directory:
1. Connect the air compressor, air hose and airbrush (or other air tools), plug in
compressor, turn on the switch, and the air compressor will start pumping air. The
gauge will show the max pressure, and you can adjust the working pressure by
adjusting the pressure regulator knob.
2. Checking for air leaks. After turning the compressor on wait for the tank to fill
and the compressor to turn off (auto stop function). Then check the needle of the
pressure gauge. If the needle on the gauge is steady there are no leaks. If the
needle drops you have an air leak between one of your threaded connections.
Check to make sure all threaded connections are wrench tight and use Plumber
Tape if needed.
3. The difference between max pressure and working pressure.
A compressor's maximum pressure is the highest pressure it can build up without
the airbrush being triggered. In contrast, the operating pressure is the constant
pressure the compressor can maintain while airbrushing. The working pressure
depends on the nozzle diameter of the airbrush to which it is connected. The larger
the nozzle diameter the greater the amount of air which can escape and the lower
the compressor's working pressure.

4. The compressor has a tank which can store compressed air before delivery to the
airbrush (or other air tools). The advantages of the tank are as follows:
a. Tanks provide a reservoir of pressurized air that you can draw from while you're
spraying.
b. You can draw air at a regulated pressure from the tank instead of the average
pressure of the piston cylinders.
c. Because you are drawing air from the tank you are eliminating the tiny pulsation
in the air supply caused by the physical motion of pistons pressurizing air.
d. The life of the compressor motor increases because it pumps air as the tank
needs it instead of always being on.
e. The tank helps to eliminate moisture from the air.
4. Notice:
1. The users should choose the right air compressor with suitable air flow and
pressure according to the actual work requirement.
2. Before connecting the compressor, check that the main voltage complies with the
electrical characteristics of the motor.
3. Please follow local electrical and safety rules. Electric plug must be grounded.
4. Never leave the compressor exposed to dust, acids, vapors, explosive or flammable
gasses, or atmospheric agents (rain, sun, fog, snow).
5. The vacuum pump must be used in suitable environments (well-ventilated, with an
ambient temperature between +41F and +104F )
6. Never use the compressor in your bare feet or with wet hands or feet.
7. Never allow children to touch the working compressor or insert objects into the
machine. It can cause scalding or an electric shock.
8. Do not open or tamper with any part of the compressor.
9. When the compressor will not be used for a long time, open the water drain valve
under the tank. Store the compressor in a well ventilated and dry place.
a. Handle
b. Airbrush holder
c. Pressure regulator
d. Pressure gauge
e. Air outlet
f. Water release valve
Double switch:
Switch 1: Auto stop at 57 PSI
Switch 2: ax pressure at 87 PSI

MAINTENANCE: To obtain best efficiency
and longest periods of trouble-free operation
the air supply must be kept clean as dirt is the
most common cause of erratic regulator
operation. Only a few parts require occasional
replacement most troubles can be cured and
prevented by a thorough and careful cleaning
procedure. To clean it is not necessary to
remove unit from its piping or line. At the
bottom of the bowl is a manual drain valve
which should be periodically opened particu-
larly when sediment is visible in bowl.
DISASSEMBLY FOR CLEANING:
Depressurize the air line, unscrew and
remove the bowl. Unscrew filter element
and let down bottom disc, filter, top disc,
spring and plunger. Note orientation of
plunger and top disc. Clean filter element
and assemble parts as removed. ake sure
“o” ring seal for bowl is in place. Tighten the
filter element and bowl hand tight.
CLEANING:
For best results clean parts with soap water.
After cleaning blow out parts including body
of unit with compressed air. The bronze filter
should be blown out from the inside,blocking
one end with folded rag. Plastic bowl must
be cleaned with household soap only!

ARNING! The polycarbonate plastic
material used to manufacture the plastic
bowls may be attacked by certain
chemicals. Do not use this filter system with
air supplied by a compressor lubricated with
synthetic oils or oils containing phosphate
esters or chlorinated hydrocarbons. These
oils can carry over into the air lines and
chemically attack and possibly rupture the
bowl. Also, do not expose the bowl to
materials such as carbon tetrachloride,
trichlorethylene, acetone paint thinner,
cleaning fluids, or other harmful materials,
for they too will cause the plastic to craze
and/or rupture. For use in environments
where any of these chemicals may be
present, consult the factory.
INSTALLATION: Install in vertical position
with air supply connected to the in port
stamped on body of unit. Before piping-in,
blow out line to remove scale and other
foreign matter. If pipe compound is used
apply only to male threads and just enough
to make tight connections.
ARNING: aximum primary air
