Warnung
1. Check the specifications.
The products in this catalogue are designed to be used in
compressed air systems only. If the products are used in an en-
vironment where pressure or temperature is out of the specified
range, damage and/or malfunction may result. Do not use under
such conditions.
Caution
1. Do not apply the blow gun to flammable, explosive or
toxic substances such as gas, fuel gas or refrigerant. Such
substances may exude from inside the blow gun.
Warning
1. Install a stop valve on the supply pressure side of the
blow gun to enable emergency shut off in case of unexpec-
ted leakage or damage.
Piping
Caution
1. Check the model, type and size before installation.
Also, confirm that there is no scratches, gouges or cracks on the
product.
2. Before piping
Before piping, it should be thoroughly blown out with air
(flushing) or washed to remove chips, cutting oil and other
debris from inside the pipe.
3. Wrapping of pipe tape
When screwing together pipes and fittings, etc., be certain that
chips from the pipe threads and sealing material do not get
inside the blow gun. Also, when the pipe tape is used, leave
1.5 to 2 thread ridges exposed at the end of the threads

Caution
4. When tightening the threads, secure the nozzle holder
of the blow gun by applying a wrench of 22 mm width
across flats to the two chamfered surfaces of the holder
without applying force to the body. Then, tighten the nozzle
with torque specified in the table below. As a guideline, it is
equivalent to 2 to 3 additional turns with a tool after manual
tightening.
Be careful that tightening with torque beyond the ranges in the
table below may cause damage to the body.

5. Allow extra length when connecting a tube to accommo-
date changes in tube length due to pressure.
6. 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.
7. Do not abrade, entangle or scratch the tube. This may
cause the tube to be crushed, burst or come loose.
