2. Istruzioni per l'installazione

Before using your airbrush, ensure all components are clean and properly assembled. A clean setup prevents clogs and ensures optimal performance.

2.1 Initial Inspection and Cleaning

  1. Disimballare tutti i componenti dalla custodia.
  2. Inspect the airbrush for any visible damage or debris from manufacturing.
  3. Perform an initial flush with water or appropriate airbrush cleaner through the airbrush to remove any manufacturing residues.

2.2 Connecting to Air Source

  1. Attach the air hose connector to the air inlet at the bottom of the airbrush body. Ensure it is securely tightened.
  2. Connect your air hose from a compatible air compressor to the air hose connector.
  3. Ensure your air compressor is set to the recommended operating pressure for airbrushing (typically between 15-30 PSI, refer to your paint manufacturer's recommendations).

2.3 Preparing Paint

  1. Select the appropriate paint for your project. Ensure it is suitable for airbrush use.
  2. Thin the paint to the consistency of milk using the recommended thinner for your specific paint type. Use the dropper for accurate mixing ratios.
  3. Pour the prepared paint into the 7cc gravity feed fluid cup. Do not overfill.

3. Istruzioni per l'uso

The AW airbrush features a dual-action trigger, allowing for precise control over both air and paint flow.

3.1 Dual-Action Trigger Control

  • Controllo del flusso d'aria: Press the trigger straight down to release air. The further you press, the more air flows.
  • Paint Volume Control: While holding the trigger down for air, pull the trigger back to release paint. The further you pull back, the more paint is sprayed.
  • Practice combining these two actions to achieve desired spray patterns and paint coverage.

3.2 Basic Spraying Technique

  1. Hold the airbrush approximately 2-6 inches (5-15 cm) from your working surface, depending on the desired spray pattern.
  2. Begin by pressing the trigger down to start airflow.
  3. While air is flowing, pull the trigger back to begin spraying paint.
  4. Move the airbrush steadily across your surface. Release the paint trigger (push forward) before releasing the air trigger (lift up) to prevent paint from drying in the nozzle.
  5. Always start and end your spray off the actual work surface to avoid splatters or heavy spots.

4. Manutenzione e pulizia

Proper cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and performance of your airbrush. Clean your airbrush immediately after each use.

4.1 Pulizia rapida (tra i cambi di colore)

  1. Empty any remaining paint from the fluid cup.
  2. Add a small amount of appropriate airbrush cleaner or water to the cup.
  3. Spray the cleaner through the airbrush onto a paper towel or into a cleaning pot until the spray runs clear.
  4. Ripetere se necessario.

4.2 Thorough Cleaning (After Each Session)

  1. Eseguire una pulizia rapida come descritto sopra.
  2. Unscrew the needle chucking guide and carefully pull the needle out from the front of the airbrush. Clean the needle with a soft cloth and cleaner.
  3. Use the provided wrench to carefully unscrew the nozzle cap and then the nozzle itself. Clean the nozzle thoroughly with a small brush and cleaner. Be extremely careful as the nozzle is delicate.
  4. Clean the inside of the fluid cup and the airbrush body with a brush and cleaner.
  5. Reassemble the airbrush in reverse order. Ensure the nozzle is tightened gently to avoid damage.
