When you unpack your unit, look carefully
for damage that might have occurred in
transit.
electricAl requirementS
This unit may only be used at the listed
voltage. Use of low voltage will cause
the motor to overheat. Low voltage can
be suspected when the following condi-
tions exist:
1. Motor does not develop full power or
speed
2. Lights dim when motor starts and remain
dim when starting compressor
3. A fuse blow out occurs at starting or
when load is applied.
4. There are too many motor operated
appliances on the same circuit, which
causes them to not operate properly.
To avoid excessive voltage drop keep
extension cords as short as possible. If
an extension cord is necessary, do not
use less than 16 gauge for 25 feet, 14
gauge for 50 feet, or 12 gauge for 100
feet or more.
generAl inFormAtion
The maximum pressure of the compressor
is 68 PSI. When spraying, the maximum
operating pressure will vary depending
on the size of the fluid nozzle, needle and
/or air cap. For example, when spraying
with the DeVilbiss DAGR™ airbrush with
a .35mm fluid nozzle, the Airblade™ single
piston compressor can maintain 25-30
psi operating pressure. With the same
airbrush, the Airblade Deuce two-piston
compressor can maintain 45-50 psi
operating pressure.

tHermAl protector
The motor of this compressor is equipped
with a thermal overload protector. If the
motor should overheat, the overload pro-
tector will shut off the motor. If this should
occur, unplug the compressor and allow
the motor to cool (approx. 5 minutes),
remove excess load and restart compres-
sor. If the compressor fails to start, check
for blown fuses. The compressor may
need to cool further before attempting to
restart. If the overload protector shuts off
the motor frequently you may have a low
voltage condition. See conditions under
Electrical Requirements.
AutomAtic SHut-oFF FeAture
This compressor has a built-in pressure
switch that will automatically shut off the
compressor when the airbrush is not in
use. It has been preset at the factory to
give maximum pressure when the airbrush
is attached to the compressor. The com-
pressor will automatically stop when the
airbrush is not in use. It will immediately
begin again as soon as the air is allowed
to flow through the airbrush.
SeAling oF Air HoSe
When attaching the female pipe thread
fitting from your air hose to the compres-
sor, it may be necessary to use a quality
pipe thread sealant or Teflon® pipe thread
tape on the threaded air outlet of the
compressor. Failure to do so may cause
an air leak and your compressor will not
shut off as it should.
