Instruccions de funcionament

1. Preparing Paint

• Shake paint bottles thoroughly before use to ensure proper pigment mixing.
• Pour a small amount of paint into the airbrush's gravity feed cup. Do not overfill.
• If paint appears too thick, thin it with an appropriate airbrush reducer (not included) according to the paint manufacturer's recommendations.

2. Compressor Operation

• Turn on the Iwata Smart Jet compressor. The compressor features an auto-shut-off function, meaning it will only run when air is being drawn through the airbrush, helping to prolong its lifespan and reduce noise.
• The Smart Jet compressor provides a consistent working pressure suitable for most airbrushing tasks. No manual pressure adjustment is typically required.

3. Airbrushing Technique

• Dual-Action Control: The Eclipse HP-CS is a dual-action airbrush. Pressing the trigger down releases air. Pulling the trigger back controls the amount of paint released.
• Pràctica: Before working on your final project, practice on scrap material to get accustomed to the airbrush's feel and paint flow.
• Distance and Speed: Adjust the distance between the airbrush and the surface, and your hand speed, to achieve desired effects. Closer and slower for fine lines, further and faster for broader coverage.
• Control del disparador: Always release the paint (pull back) after releasing the air (push down), and stop paint (push forward) before stopping air (release up). This prevents paint from drying on the needle tip.
