1. SAFETY
WARNING! Ensure that Health and Safety, local authority and general workshop practice regulations are adhered to when using tools.
WARNING! Air brushes produce a fine mist of paint and solvents which may be harmful by inhalation. Always wear suitable protective
breathing equipment which can be obtained from your local Sealey Dealer. For a better understanding of the risks involved with any
particular paint or solvent read the warnings on the containers and follow the advice given.
Also take measures to protect the eyes and skin from contact with paint and solvents. A full range of personal safety equipment is available
from your Sealey Dealer.
DO NOT operate the air brush near other people unless they are wearing the same protective equipment.
DO NOT eat or drink when using the air brush.
DO NOT allow smoking or open flame in the work area.
Ensure that the air brush and accessories are in a clean, sound condition and good working order. Take action for immediate repair or
replacement of damaged parts. Use recommended parts only. The use of unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the
warranty.
Ensure the air brush supply hose is not tangled, twisted or pinched.
DO NOT use air brush or accessories if damaged.
DO NOT operate air brush while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or intoxicating medication, or if fatigued.
DO NOT direct spray against yourself, other persons or animals or electrical equipment.
DO NOT use the air brush for a task it is not designed to perform.
Always ensure adequate ventilation in the work area.
Always disconnect from the air supply before dismantling the air brush for cleaning and maintenance.

3. ASSEMBLY
4. OPERATION
3.1. Screw one end of the air hose onto the air hose connection underneath the air brush trigger and the other end onto the air supply.
3.2. To use a compressor such as the Sealey Model No: AB900 use the adaptor supplied with the compressor to connect the air hose.
3.3. To use the air brush with other types of compressors use the 1/4” reduction nipple supplied. NOTE: The maximum air supply to the air
brush should never exceed 50psi. Normal operating pressure is approx 30psi.

WARNING! ENSURE ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
DO NOT SPRAY NEAR NAKED FLAMES.
4.1. Mask the area which is NOT to be painted.
4.2. Ensure the object to be painted is free from dust, grease and the surface has been prepared.
4.3. After mixing and thinning the paint, as instructed by the paint manufacturer, fill the gravity feed pot just over half full.
Note: Mix thoroughly, making sure that the paint is free from lumps. It may be necessary to strain the paint first.
4.4. Turn the air ON and test your spray on a test panel to get the “feel” of your air brush.
4.5. Make any necessary spray adjustments. The paint spray pattern can be adjusted by turning the fixing nut (Fig.2D). The nut is fully
closed, when it has been turned clockwise to the stop point. The volume of paint dispensed can be adjusted by varying the backward
movement of the trigger (Fig.1B). This can be pre-set using the micro adjust screw (Fig.1C).
4.6. Holding the air brush about 15cm inches from the surface press the trigger (Fig.1A) down. Using short strokes, move the air brush at a
steady rate, parallel to the surface, see Fig.2.
4.7. Apply a light coat of paint, let it dry, then apply another coat. Continue with this method until the desired coverage is reached.
DO NOT spray too heavily.
Note: When using quick drying paints, it is advisable to clean or immerse the fluid end of the air brush in a compatible solvent between
sprays.
4.8. Once you are satisfied with the results of your test pieces and have made any necessary adjustments to the air brush, continue with
the task to be performed. Best results are achieved with a good constant motion. Start the motion before pressing the trigger and follow
a through motion after releasing the trigger, see Fig.3.
