you hve to pull the knob up then turn....

3 bars.... you kidding me?? thats about 43.5 psi

pull and turn already. Or am I supposed to turn the knob and set the PSI before I turn on the compressor?

try to make it like 10 psi and 20psi and feel got difference or not.. do it without your ab on and with it too

any pros here can give me a small tutorial on how restore chipped edges?? i know use epoxy putty but dunno how to mold....

Hi, I got my ab and comp today. Can't do any spraying cos its raining.

How do you adjust the PSI from the comp?

do you turn the black knob? I turned it on until the meter hits 3bar, then I sprayed and the pressure output is still the same, but can see from the meter that the PSI or bar is falling when I spray with the AB. Quite confusing

raining as long as u have moisture trap shouldn't be a problem

uh ya that's normal...the pressure will fall, once it hit a low point it'll recharge

u need to "set" the pressure to say like 15-20psi(or your preference) then it'll stay there when u spray, once it reach a certain point it'll recharge

Lets try a step by step see whether it works for you ( this is how i set my air com )

1. Connect All hoses
2. Connect Airbrush to hose
3. turn on air compressor and wait till tank fills up
4. depress trigger on airbrush and observe the regulator. Air pressure indicated on the regulator should drop but will eventually stablise at a certain PSI. This should be your working air pressure.
5. with trigger STILL depressed on the airbrush (i.e. air still coming out of your airbrush), pull up the air control knob on your compressor and turn. as you turn clock wise and anti clockwise you should see the regulator reflect the change in PSI according to which direction you turn
6. once you reach your desired PSI, stop turning the knob and push back down the air control knob

There..should be done

Hope that helps... if not take a video of you trying to adjust the PSI and post it here.

yo bro, very detail instructions.

normally, a stock compressor will have the setting that is over the range, so that it will auto stop at stated such as 4bar. therefore u will need to turn anti-clockwise quite a lot before u eventually reach the range that u be able to control and affect the pressure setting.

i think siphon feed is not that popular, the tubing always clog up...... ead-k602 is single action right?

okay, siphon feed more suitable for those ppl that need change color often. such as ppl doing airbrush tattoo those i guess.

ead-k602 i need check. it only mentioned spray control: back stop screw. but it look single action to me too.
