Hi, I've never used an air compressor for airbrush painting. Just bought a Master TC-40T air compressor based on good reviews. But the operation manual is woefully inadequate and does not provide any customer service information The compressor appears to work fine, but when I close the value on the air pressure gauge (the only gauge) the motor continues to run but there is no movement on the gauge. After a little while the engine starts to sound as it is straining like there is pressure building in the tank. There is suppose to be an automatic cut off around 57 PSI, but am I to just let the motor continue to run until it automatically stop or "blows up"?? As an aside, when I have the airflow gauge open, there is air coming out the hose to the airbrush. And if I put my finger over the end of the hose, then the air pressure gauge begins to show a buildup of pressure. So is the gauge only measuring the pressure coming out the hose? I've seen where some "commercial" sized compressors clearly have two gauges: one for the tank and one for air going out through the hose.
Thanks in advance for any advice/instruction one can give me on this issue.
