pressure is applied.Always direct exhaust port away
from people or objects.
Theair tool is now lubricated and readyfor use.
Other Recommendations
Theseair tools require lubrication during operation. This will
extend the life of thetool. As shown below, air (A) is
supplied by the compressor, passesthrough a water filter
(B), a pressure regulator (C), an automatic oiler (D), and
through a quick connect air coupling (E). Oneend of the air
hose (G) is fitted with a connection plug (F) and aquick
connect coupler (E). Eachair tool will havea connection
plug (F) to receivethe air (R).
Non-Lubricatedtools, such as the air blow gun tool or the
tire inflation tool, uses a similar in-line air supply that does
not havethe oiler device (D). NEVERuse an oiler in the air
supply for spray painting operations.
