When setting up the drill motor, when should you attach the air line?

Attaching the air line after setting up the drill motor is the correct approach because it ensures that the motor is properly positioned and adjusted without the risk of unintended activation. By waiting until the setup is complete before connecting the air line, you minimize the potential for accidents, such as the motor starting unexpectedly while you are still adjusting or positioning the equipment. This practice not only prioritizes safety but also allows for a thorough check of all components, ensuring that everything is correctly aligned and secure before the motor is operational.

Attaching the air line before or during setup may lead to complications, such as interference with tool adjustments or safety hazards if the motor engages unintentionally. Connecting the air line only if necessary could lead to ambiguities regarding when to start the setup process, which might not align with standard safety protocols in aerospace assembly.
