Instructions

AirPen® 803 with Quick-Change™ Cartridges
The AirPen 803™ is an air-powered tool which applies paint, glues, ceramic glazes and other viscous mediums into intricate areas or in long flowing lines. The patented product is drip-free and is supplied with all accessories, including a 110V. air pump. When a finger is placed over the beveled flow control hole, air pressure dispenses paint through the tip.

To Operate the Airpen®

1. Remove small red storage cap and twist on a tip.

2. Grip cartridge by Quick-Change™ seal and twist to remove from pen body. Fill cartridge about half full (to a maximum of 3/4" from the top) and insert foam plug into end of cartridge. Grip cartridge at seal and twist into pen body for a friction fit. Pen is now ready to use and must be held with tip pointing down, so foam plug does not absorb liquid from cartridge. When not in use, place pen in a coffee cup containing a slightly damp paper towel or tissue, with AirPen tip pointed down.

3. To begin, lightly cover the entire area of the beveled hole with the tip of your forefinger for contents to flow; lift finger to stop the flow. Varying fingertip pressure over the hole will increase/decrease flow, or use another size tip for wider or narrower lines.

 To Clean the Airpen®

1Unplug electric cord.

2. Twist cartridge from pen body, remove foam plug, and twist off tip. Use plunger to empty cartridge.  (Tip: a bit of glycerin — or water — will enable plunger to slide easily through cartridge For best results, store plunger in the cleaned cartridge).

3. Replace tip and force water through tip with plunger (or immediately place tip in water or appropriate solvent before cleaning).

4. Clean foam plug.

 ***Important***

1. Always point the pen tip down to ensure that the foam plug does not absorb contents in cartridge, since air must be able to pass through foam plug.

2. Clean the pen and the foam plug thoroughly after each use. Liquid medium (not solvent based) may be temporarily stored in cartridge. Twist off tip (clean thoroughly) and replace with rubber storage cap.  Remove and clean the foam plug and replace with the black plastic plug.

3. Never soak or submerge electric air pump in water.

4. To change tip on a cartridge: first remove cartridge from dispenser, twist off tip, twist on new tip.

5. Always ensure that tip and foam plug are clean for best operation.

6. Liquid used in pen must be pourable and self-leveling.
