Handling
Warning
1. Air pressure may cause the nozzle to fly off during operation if it
is not properly tightened. To prevent this, be sure to check the
nozzle for loosening by pulling on it with your hands before use.
2. Be sure to wear protective eyewear when operating the
product to protect your eyes from scattering debris.
3. Do not direct the tip of the nozzle at the face or other
parts of a human body. It may cause danger to personnel.
4. Do not use the product to clean or remove toxic
substances or chemicals.
5. Do not drop, step on, or hit the product. It may
cause damage to the product.
6. Do not use the product to disturb public order or
public hygiene.

If leaving the product in a dusty place, particles will enter the
product and may result in a malfunction.
Hook
9. When the blow gun is used or stored, confirm that no
twisting, turning, or tensile force or moment load is
applied to the port or tube. This may cause fittings to
fracture or tubes to be crushed, burst, or come loose.
Caution
1. Pressurizing the air blow discharge port may result
in the breakage of the product.
2. The blow adjusting range 4 provides the maximum blow. Rotating
the adjuster more than 4 may result in the breakage of the product.
Lubrication
Warning
1. Do not lubricate the product.
It may contaminate or damage the target object.
Air Supply
Warning
1. Use clean air.
Do not use compressed air that contains chemicals, synthetic
oils that include organic solvents, salt, corrosive gases, etc.,
as it can cause damage or malfunction.
Caution
1. Install an air filter.
Install an air filter upstream near the blow gun. Select an air
filter with a filtration size of 5
μ
m or smaller.
2. Take measures to ensure air quality, such as by
installing an aftercooler, air dryer, or water separator.
Compressed air that contains a large amount of drainage can
cause the malfunction of the blow gun and contaminate or
damage the target object. Therefore, take appropriate
measures to ensure air quality, such as by providing an
aftercooler, air dryer, or water separator.
Operating Environment
Warning
