Every unnecessary bend, crushed section or poorly positioned run adds resistance between the machine and the work area, so take the extra minute to lay the hose out properly before starting. And when the job's finished, don't just throw a big hose like this into the van wet, crushed or tightly kinked — looking after the airflow path is part of looking after the performance of the machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure this is the right hose for your machine and connection?
