Use safety shut-off valves so air flow can be stopped quickly in case of a line break. When using multiple hoses, air hoses should be larger than leader hose. Join multiple hoses directly, rather than with quick connect fittings which may cause pressure drops and tool power reduction. Use anti-whip devices across hose couplings to prevent hose from whipping in the event of a hose failure or coupling disconnect. Always use moisture traps at the compressor for the main distribution line. Use moisture traps and in-line oilers on each downline that is to be used for air tools. (See Figure 2). Place oiler as close to air tool as possible for best lubrication. Lubrication Use a light oil containing rust inhibitors, such as SAE #10. Many JET air tools have integral oil reservoirs, which should be kept filled when in-line oilers are not used. If greasing is required, use a grease that is highly water resistant for the front case components on air impact wrenches, grinders and sanders. Recycling Protect the environment. Your tool contains materials which can be recovered or recycled. When its useful life has expired, please leave tool at a specialized facility.
