BEFORE USE CONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF AIR COMPRESSORS AND COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY. 1. Pour 2-3 drops of CLARKE airline oil into the air inlet. This should be done regardless of whether or not a lubricated air supply is to be used. 2.
