Opsætningsinstruktioner
- Udpak komponenter: Tag forsigtigt alle varer ud af emballagen, og kontroller dem for eventuelle skader.
- Placering af kompressoren: Place the compressor on a stable, level surface in a well-ventilated area. Ensure the suction pads on the compressor feet provide stability.
- Tilslut luftslange: Attach one end of the 6-foot air hose to the air outlet on the compressor's regulator. Securely fasten the other end of the air hose to the airbrush gun's hose connection.
- Strømtilslutning: Plug the compressor's power cord into a standard 110V, 60Hz electrical outlet.
- Juster lufttryk:
- Ensure the compressor is powered on.
- Locate the air pressure regulator knob on the compressor.
- To adjust the pressure, pull the knob upwards (Trin 1).
- Rotate the knob clockwise to increase pressure or counter-clockwise to decrease pressure (Step 2).
- Read the desired pressure from the manometer gauge.
- Once the desired pressure is set, push the knob downwards to lock the setting.

Airbrush Operation
The included airbrush is a double-action type, meaning the trigger controls both air flow and paint flow. This allows for fine control over your spray.

Figure 4: Detailed diagram of the double-action airbrush components and trigger function for air and paint control.
- Forbered maling: Thin your paint to the appropriate consistency for airbrushing. The ideal consistency is often described as milk-like.
- Load Paint: Pour the prepared paint into the 7ml fluid cup on top of the airbrush. Secure the fluid cup cover.
- Power On Compressor: Turn on the compressor. It will automatically start at 3 Bar (43 PSI) and stop at 4 Bar (58 PSI) to maintain consistent pressure.
- Testspray: Before applying to your project, perform a test spray on a scrap surface to check paint flow and pattern.
- Sprøjteteknik:
- To initiate air flow, press the trigger down.
- To release paint, pull the trigger back while holding it down. The further back you pull, the more paint is released.
- Practice controlling the distance from the surface and the trigger movement for desired effects.
- Finish Spraying: Release the trigger to stop paint flow, then release the trigger upwards to stop air flow.

Airbrush Cleaning
Proper cleaning after each use is crucial for the longevity and performance of your airbrush.
- Empty Paint Cup: Pour any remaining paint back into its container.
- Skyl med rengøringsmiddel: Add a small amount of appropriate airbrush cleaner or water (depending on paint type) to the paint cup. Spray through the airbrush until the cleaner runs clear.
- Bagskylning: Cover the nozzle with your finger or a cap and press the trigger for air only. This will force air back into the paint cup, bubbling and cleaning the inside.
- Adskil og rengør: For thorough cleaning, disassemble the airbrush (needle, nozzle, fluid cup). Use the provided cleaning brushes and cleaner to remove all paint residue from each component. Be careful with the needle, as it is delicate.
- Saml igen: Carefully reassemble the airbrush, ensuring all parts are correctly seated.
Vedligeholdelse af kompressor
Regularly drain accumulated moisture from the compressor's air filter.
- Afløbsvand: After use, or when you observe water in the moisture trap, ensure the compressor is powered off and depressurized. Press the drain button located at the bottom of the moisture trap to release accumulated water. Tryk ikke på denne afløbsknap, når maskinen er i drift, eller når trykafbrydelsen stopper.
