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.

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 (#20),
loosen the needle locknut (#18), 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 (#19)
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
(optional Accessory)
A quick disconnect stem is screwed on to
each airbrush and a quick disconnect adapter
is screwed on to the air hose. This allows for
quick changes between airbrushes using one
hose.
hose
Use high quality, flexible DeVilbiss braided
nylon air hose. Order DGR-123 (802769) 10'
air hose assembly or DGR-124 (802770) 10' air
hose assembly with quick disconnect.
