  • Page 21: Position & Install Nozzles

    System Installation Position & Install Nozzles Keep the nozzle as close as possible to the cutting edge, ideally within 2” [50.8 mm]. The longer the distance that the nozzle needs to spray, the more airflow is needed to carry aerosol and the higher the likelihood of an unwanted mist being generated.
