Oil-Less Piston Compressor

Oil-less means oil-less!  The compressor uses PTFE  gaskets to seal the compression chamber.  This allows the compressor to be quiet without 

atomizing oil into the air stream, which makes the compressor virtually maintenance free.

Air Pressure Adjustment Knob  

Though not a full regulator, the air pressure adjustment knob allows control of the air pressure.  It also doubles as the moisture release valve.

Moisture Trap Assembly

The moisture trap filters out the water and debris down to 5 microns.

Air Pressure Gauge

Don’t guess what pressure you’re spraying at!  Know it!  Your “working pressure” (or “working psi”) is what the gauge shows while you have  

your trigger pressed down.

Airbrush Holder 

Built-in, hands-free device!  It’s always best to keep your airbrush upright when it’s full of paint and you need to set it down for a moment –  

otherwise, paint can flow into areas inside the brush where it shouldn’t.  Keep your airbrush upright with the airbrush holder.

Coiled Air Hose

The coiled airhose allows hot, compressed air to circulate and cool down a bit before reaching the moisture trap – and cooler air means  

less moisture.

Power Switch

Yes, it’s a feature!  You don’t have to unplug the compressor when you want it to stop, just flip the switch.

Auto-Shut off

This is the Smart part of the Smart Jet.  It turns the compressor off when you’re not spraying and turns it on when you start to spray.  

Thermal Overload Switch

If the compressor ever decides to overheat, the Thermal Overload Switch will turn off your compressor.  If this switch cuts in it’s saving your  

compressor.  Let it cool down.  The switch will automatically reset itself.

Voltage

If you bought the compressor in the country you’re going to use it, it’s completely ready to go.  If you’re going to transfer the compressor to 

another country with a different voltage, you’ll need a plug adapter and the appropriate power converter. These items typically are found at 

hardware stores or electronic stores.
