Dear Customer,
Thank you for purchasing
PILOT power AB-98. Every
PILOT product guarantees
years of customer
satisfaction. PILOT power
equipments are unique and
are designed for easy use
with simple mechanism.
PILOT power AB-98 is
manufactured using
components, which have a
very good ratio of weight
and strength. Its
sophisticated nozzle and
needle achieve a fine
uniform spray.
It is widely used by artists
for fine art work, photo
retouching etc. It is also
used for eliminating
unwanted details,
decorating tags, painting
paper cards etc. Its
simplistic operation (by
pressing the finger button)
makes it user-friendly for
professionals as well as
amateurs.
It is important to eliminate dust accumulated in the hose. You can easily do it by connecting the hose to the air
receiver at a working pressure of (0.5 to 0.8 kgs / cm2).
Hold the spray (air) brush in a similar manner as the pen. Pour the required quantity of prepared colour into the
cup and slightly depress the button, which will activate the air valve. Further depression of the button will start
the flow of colour. The movement of the hand (with the button depressed) should be continuous till the flow of
colour spreads in order to avoid surplus colour deposition at the end of each stroke.
How to use
We recommend the use of oil and water colour that’s finely ground and mixed with turpentine resulting in a free
flow. Colour containing loose particles should be used only after straining the mixture with fine muslin. This will
avoid clogging of the nozzle.
Do not allow any colour build-up on the air cap. Also take care of the needle point and prevent it from bending or
damage. It is important that colours are mixed in correct ratio of water or mixing medium.
For best results
!
Do not allow remaining colour to dry up in the cup.
!
Wash the cup & the nozzle immediately with cleaning solvent after use by spraying.
!
Never use a sharp object and the needle, instead use a soft brush.
!
Always handle the nozzle and the needle with utmost care for if this is tampered or damaged will not produced
the desired results.
For long lasting use
