If the needle stops suddenly, pull it out and
check the trigger for proper positioning,
then re-insert the needle. Release the
trigger and tighten the needle locknut.
Lubrication
To insure smooth trigger action, periodically
remove the needle and coat it with a high-
quality lubricant (like DeVilbiss SSL-10
Spray Lube). Wipe the needle with a soft
cloth, leaving it lightly coated. Re-insert the
needle and re-tighten the needle locknut.
Place a few drops of lube in the trigger slot
in the airbrush body.
NOTE: Do not use WD-40
or light machine
®
oil for lubrication, which will cause the
needle to bind as it moves through the PTFE
packing. Do not over-lubricate the needle or
the trigger. The excess lube could be
pushed into the nozzle, causing paint flow
problems.
REPL CEMENT P RTS ND
CCESSORIES
NOTE: If you must disassemble the
airbrush, please do not use pliers. Tools
are rarely needed. If needed, however, use
a small wrench to unscrew and lightly re-
tighten the head cap (#3), which seats the
nozzle on to the airbrush body. Do not
overtighten!
Nozzle (#4)
If the nozzle becomes worn or damaged, it
must be replaced. Before replacing the
nozzle, protect the needle by pulling it back
slightly. To do this, remove the handle
(#21), loosen the needle locknut (#19), and
carefully pull the needle back through the
nozzle. Remove the head cap (#3) and pull
out the nozzle. If it is stuck, loosen it by
gently pushing the side of it with your
thumb. Pull the nozzle off and replace it
with the new one. Re-assemble the head
cap and tighten it by hand or lightly with a
wrench. Do not over tighten. Re-seat the
needle into the nozzle by gently pushing it
forward until it seats with the fluid nozzle.
Tighten the needle locknut and continue
reassembly.
NOTE: To insure even wear, change the
needle at the same time as the nozzle.
Needle (#20)
DeVilbiss needles are made of precision
machined stainless steel and are designed
for long-term use. However, because of
their long tapers and very fine tips they
can be easily damaged. If the needle point
becomes bent or hooked, it should be
straightened before being pulled back
through the nozzle or the nozzle could
become damaged. If the needle is not bent
too badly, roll it between your finger and a
smooth flat surface to straighten the point.
Quick Disconnect
