coupling may be used when a 1/4” (6.4mm) supply line is
not available.
NOTE: A 3/8” (9.5mm) supply line (and fittings) are required
for maximum tool performance. IMPORTANT: Always use
couplings that relieve all pressure from the tool when it
is disconnected from the power supply. Always use hose
connectors that shut off air supply from compressor when
the tool is disconnected.

1. Wrap the male end of the fitting with thread seal tape
prior to assembly to eliminate airleaks.
2. To install a 1/4” (6.4mm) fitting: screw it directly into the
air inlet
