4. Konfiguracja
- Rozpakowywanie: Carefully remove the compressor and all accompanying accessories from their packaging. Retain the packaging for future storage or transport.
- Umieszczenie: Place the compressor on a stable, level, and clean surface in a well-ventilated area. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for proper air circulation and cooling.
- Podłącz wąż powietrza: Connect one end of the air hose (e.g., 5-meter hose) to the air outlet on the compressor. If using a moisture trap, connect it inline between the compressor and your airbrush gun to ensure dry air delivery.
- Podłącz aerograf: Attach your airbrush gun to the other end of the air hose. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent air leaks.
- Podłączenie zasilania: Before plugging in, ensure the power switch on the compressor is in the "OFF" position. Then, plug the power cord into a suitable 230V electrical outlet.

5. Instrukcja obsługi
- Włączanie: Flip the power switch to the "ON" position. The compressor will immediately begin to build pressure.
- Dostosuj ciśnienie: Use the pressure regulator knob to set the desired working pressure for your airbrushing task. Turn the knob clockwise to increase pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease it. The pressure gauge will display the current output pressure.
- Automatyczny start/stop: The compressor is equipped with an automatic start/stop function. It will automatically turn off when the set pressure is reached and turn back on when the pressure drops during continuous use, ensuring consistent airflow without constant manual intervention.
- Aerograf: Once the desired pressure is set, you can begin your airbrushing task. This compressor is suitable for airbrush guns with nozzle diameters typically ranging from 0.2 mm to 1 mm. Please note that using larger nozzles may require higher pressure and air flow for optimal performance.
- Wyłączone: When you have completed your airbrushing session, turn off the compressor by flipping the power switch to the "OFF" position.
- Dekompresja: To release any remaining air pressure from the system, trigger your airbrush gun until the pressure gauge reads zero. This helps to relieve stress on the system components.
6. Konserwacja
Regular maintenance is crucial for ensuring the longevity, reliability, and optimal performance of your WilTec AS176 compressor. As an oil-free unit, it requires minimal maintenance.
6.1 Codzienna konserwacja
- After each use, drain any accumulated moisture from the moisture trap. This prevents water from entering your airbrush and ensures clean air delivery.
- Wipe down the exterior of the compressor with a clean, dry, soft cloth to remove dust and paint residue.
6.2 Konserwacja okresowa
- Inspect the air hose regularly for any signs of wear, cracks, kinks, or leaks. Replace the hose if any damage is observed to maintain consistent air pressure.
- Check all connections (hose to compressor, hose to airbrush, moisture trap connections) to ensure they are secure and airtight.
- Since this is an oil-free compressor, no oil changes or lubrication of internal components are required, simplifying maintenance.
