Make certain the air hose will not be placed in a position where it can become constricted or cut by a sharp object.
Note
—
Running over a hose with heavy vehicles may not cause an immediate leak, but it will shorten the life of the
hose.
Consideration should also be given to the type of usage. A nailer or staple gun uses air in short bursts and it is
easier for the compressor to maintain pressure. A paint sprayer or grinder tends to use a more continuous stream of
air as these tools are run for longer time periods. It is always better to oversize a compressor to allow for variation in
the type of usage and the number of tools to be powered. Air tools being operated with insufficient air volume will not
perform their function satisfactorily
“Warning” Always disconnect air hose from tools whenever not in use or while servicing! During
maintenance, a tool connected to air may operate accidentally, causing serious personal injury!
