Withanairpressureof0.49MPa(4.9bar),anairhose
with an internal diameter of over 6.5 mm and a length
of less than 20 m is recommended when the interval
between each nailing is 0.5 seconds.
Air supply hoses shall have a minimum working pres-

maximum pressure produced in the system whichever
is higher.
