Question: GraverSmith - No pop and hiss

[Latergaters]

I have been turning off both my GraverSmith and my compressor and draining it when not in use. However, last night I was reading the manual and I found this passage. The funny thing is I don't remember ever hearing a pop and hiss so when I went down to engrave today I tried it out while I was paying attention. No pop and hiss. I left the compressor on and didn't bleed it, the system leaked air when I turned off the GraverSmith and the compressor cycled. I'm confused, am I missing something?

What page was that on? I am away from all of my papers right now but to my knowledge the Smith does not have a solenoid like the Max and Mach.

It's on page 8 of the PDF manual on the GraverSmith page of the GRS website. http://www.grstools.com/engraving-systems/004-895.html

And while I've got you...what model .45 are we needing for the start to finish class? The Taylors catalog just got here.

That is an error in the manual. The Graversmith does not have a solenoid. Please PM me with your e-mail and I will send the information on what gun is needed for the class.

Good to know. I appreciate the response.
