Connecting air to the tool and setting the pressure so that the first gauge reads 100psi BEFORE connecting to the cylinder. When I do connect to the cylinder, the pressure drops a bit. Do I re-adjust back up to 100psi before taking my % reading?
Thanks, Rob |

Adjust to 100 psi as specified ... connect to cylinder ... do not readjust first gauge.
