PLACING TOOL IN SERVICE
(continued)
• Do not remove any labels. Replace any damaged label.
• The use of a hose whip is recommended. A coupler connected directly to the air inlet increases tool bulk and decreases tool maneuverability.
• For maximum performance, the
coupler on the wall should be
the next size larger than the
coupler used on the tool. The
coupler closest to the tool
should not be less than the
proper air supply hose size.
