COMPRESSED AIRLINE REQUIREMENTS
1. Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as a power source.

corrosion in the air tool. Ensure any moisture is drained from the compressor
daily and the airline filter is kept clean.

the hose inside diameter may need to be increased.
• The air hose must be rated at least 150% of the maximum operating
pressure of the air tool.
