UNPACKING YOUR KAV 2
Unpack the KAV 2 and ensure that you have a complete set of accessories as listed below:
1
KAV 2 Body with cloth bag attached
1
Anti-static air supply hose, 4 metres
long
1
32mm anti-static plastic Crevice Tool
COMMISSIONING YOUR KAV 2
Attach the anti-static air supply hose to the air inlet port on the KAV 2. Do not over-tighten
the connection. Do not use any form of liquid thread locker or PTFE tape to seal the thread.
The threaded end fitting has its own integral O ring seal. If you use liquid thread sealer or
PTFE tape you may create an insulated barrier so that any static build up cannot dissipate
to earth down the air supply hose.
Fit a metal (conductive) fitting to suit your air outlet sockets to the other end of the air
supply hose. Make sure the pipework and outlet fittings of your air supply system are
constructed entirely of metal pipes and fittings, and is earthed to your compressor.
Finally, using a 500 volt megohmmeter, measure the resistance between the body of the
KAV 2 and the metal air supply pipe. The reading should be no more than 50 Megohm (5
x 10
Ohm).

The KAV 2 does not require the air supply to be dried or filtered. It is advisable to use an
air supply that can be regulated so that the performance of the KAV 2 can be adjusted to
suit the operator. The performance is related to the air input. The more pressure/volume of
air input, the more suction/induced airflow is generated. However, using excessive air input
wastes compressed air and generates unnecessary noise.
