What's this for please?

Hi Aidan,there is enough room,I use it myself. Grip the chucking nut in finger and thumb,pull back as far as it will go and give it a blast, preferably away from your

model when you let go the needle is spring loaded and will go back in position.

If you want information about Iwata products give the Airbrush company a ring

Airbrushes.com main suppliers of iwata and very helpful. John

I'm sorry John, I misunderstood. Yes I can grab the locknut and push it back, which then takes the needle with it, But what's the differnce between that and pulling back the dual action control at the top of the airbrush? I know I'm beng really dim here! I'm killing time until Santa comes (maybe she will give me a new brain!)

Aidan,if you bring the needle back with the trigger and then pull it back

you will find it comes back quite a bit further,this should clear the nozzle

completely allowing a blast of paint to take any dry bits with it. This works

if you do it as soon as you suspect the spray is not quite as it should be,

with experience you'll get to recognise the symptoms. Good Luck John.
