2. 組み立てと初期設定

Carefully unpack all components and inspect for any damage. Ensure all parts listed in the Kit Components section are present before proceeding with assembly.

2.1 Airbrush Assembly (Model S68)

  1. Attach the desired fluid cup (3/4 oz. siphon bottle or 1/6 oz. color cup) to the bottom of the airbrush body. Ensure it is securely fastened.
  2. Verify the 0.35 mm fluid tip and needle are correctly installed. The needle should move freely when the trigger is pulled back.

2.2 Compressor Connection (Model TC-320)

  1. Place the TC-320 compressor on a stable, level surface with adequate ventilation.
  2. Screw the pressure regulator with gauge and water trap filter onto the air outlet port of the compressor. Apply Teflon tape to threads for a secure, airtight seal if needed.
  3. Connect one end of the 6-foot braided air hose to the water trap filter outlet.
  4. Connect the other end of the air hose to the air inlet of the S68 airbrush.
  5. Plug the compressor power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.

2.3 Dual Airbrush Holder

The dual airbrush holder can be mounted directly onto the compressor for convenient storage and access to your airbrush during use or breaks.

3. 操作手順

Before operating, ensure you are in a well-ventilated area and wearing appropriate personal protective equipment, such as a respirator and safety glasses.

3.1 Filling the Fluid Cup

  1. Prepare your chosen paint or medium according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring it is properly thinned for airbrush use.
  2. Carefully pour the prepared fluid into the siphon bottle or color cup. Do not overfill.

3.2 デュアルアクションコントロール

The Model S68 is a dual-action airbrush, meaning it controls both air and fluid flow with a single trigger movement:

  • 押し下げ: Pushing the trigger down releases air.
  • 撤退: Pulling the trigger back (while holding it down) releases fluid. The further back you pull, the more fluid is released.

Practice this motion to achieve smooth transitions between air and paint flow.

3.3 Adjusting Air Pressure

The TC-320 compressor's pressure regulator allows you to adjust the air pressure (PSI) to suit your specific paint and application. Start with a lower PSI (e.g., 15-20 PSI) and gradually increase as needed. The gauge displays the current operating pressure.

3.4 スプレー技術

  • Always begin by pressing the trigger down for air, then pull back for paint. Release paint first, then air.
  • Maintain a consistent distance from your surface. Closer distances produce finer lines, while further distances create broader sprays.
  • Move your airbrush in smooth, even strokes to avoid paint buildup or uneven coverage.

4. 清掃とメンテナンス

Proper cleaning and maintenance are essential for the longevity and optimal performance of your airbrush system.

4.1 Daily Cleaning (After Each Use)

  1. 液体カップに残っている塗料を空にします。
  2. Add a small amount of appropriate airbrush cleaner or solvent 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. Use a cotton swab or brush to clean the inside of the fluid cup.

4.2 Deep Cleaning (Periodically or When Clogged)

  1. Disassemble the airbrush components (needle, nozzle, air cap). Refer to Figure 2 for guidance.
  2. Soak components in airbrush cleaner.
  3. Use specialized airbrush cleaning brushes to remove dried paint from the nozzle, needle cap, and airbrush body.
  4. Carefully clean the needle, wiping it from the back towards the tip. Avoid bending the tip.
  5. Rinse all components with clean water and allow them to dry completely before reassembly.

4.3 Compressor Maintenance

  • Regularly drain any accumulated moisture from the water trap filter by pressing the silver button at the bottom.
  • Keep the compressor's air intake vents clear of dust and debris to ensure proper cooling.
  • Ensure the air hose connections are tight and free of leaks.

5. トラブルシューティングガイド

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your airbrush system.

問題考えられる原因解決
No paint flow or inconsistent sprayClogged nozzle or air cap; dried paint on needle; paint too thick; low air pressure.Perform deep cleaning of airbrush components. Thin paint appropriately. Increase air pressure.
Air bubbles in fluid cupLoose nozzle; damaged nozzle; air leak in fluid cup connection.Tighten nozzle. Inspect nozzle for damage and replace if necessary. Ensure fluid cup is securely attached.
Compressor not building pressure or overheatingAir leaks in connections; blocked air intake; prolonged continuous use.Check all hose and regulator connections for leaks (use Teflon tape). Ensure air intake is clear. Allow compressor to cool down if used for extended periods.
Regulator not functioning correctlyFaulty regulator; improper installation.Ensure regulator is securely attached to the compressor with proper sealing. If issues persist, contact customer support.
