Particles blown by compressed air are hazardous. DO NOT exceed 15 psi (103 kPa) nozzle
pressure when drying parts with compressed air. Use a maximum of 30 psi (207 kPa) when
cleaning components. DO NOT direct compressed air against human skin. To prevent injury, user
must wear protective goggles or face shield. Make sure air stream is directed away from user and
other personnel in the area. Failure to follow this warning may result in injury to personnel.
