Series VMGSpecific Product Precautions 1Be sure to read before handling.11WarningSelection1. Confirm the specifications.The products in this catalog are designed to be used incompressed air systems only. If the products are used in anenvironment where pressure or temperature is out of the specifiedrange, damage and/or malfunction may result. Do not use undersuch conditions.Caution1. Do not apply the blow gun to flammable,explosive or toxic substances such as gas,fuel gas or refrigerant. Such substancesmay exude from inside the blow gun.CautionPiping1. Confirm the model, type and size beforeinstallation.Also make sure that there is no scratches, gouges or cracks onthe product.2. Before pipingBefore piping, it should be thoroughly blown out with air (flushing)or washed to remove chips, cutting oil and other debris frominside the pipe.3. Wrapping of pipe tapeWhen screwing together pipes and fittings, etc., be certain thatchips from the pipe threads and sealing material do not get insidethe piping. Also, when the pipe tape is used, leave 1.5 to 2 threadridges exposed at the end of the threads.Wrapping directionKMHDMSTVMGExpose approx. 2 threadsWarningMounting1. Install a stop valve on the supply pressureside of the blow gun to enable emergencyshut off in case of unexpected leakage ordamage.2. When installing a nozzle on the blow gun,wrap seal tape around the threads of thenozzle.3. When installing the nozzle, secure thenozzle holder of the blow gun by applying aspanner of 22 mm width across flats to thetwo chamfered surfaces of the holderwithout applying force to the body. Thentighten the nozzle with force within thefollowing torque ranges. As a guideline, it isequivalent to 2 to 3 additional turns with atool after manual tightening.Nozzle tightening torque rangeSpanner12 to 14NmNozzle holderInsufficient tightening may cause loosening of the nozzle.4. When installing the nozzle, secure the nozzleholder of the blow gun by applying aspanner of 22 mm width across flats to thetwo chamfered surfaces of the holderwithout applying force to the body. Thentighten the nozzle with torque specified inthe table below. As a guideline, it isequivalent to 2 to 3 additional turns using atool after manual tightening.Be careful that tightening with torque beyond the ranges in thetable below may cause damage to the body.SpannerPortMale threadR 1/4R 3/8Pipe tapeTightening torque N⋅m12 to 1422 to 245. Allow extra length when connecting the tubeto accommodate changes in tube length dueto pressure.6. Make sure that no twisting, turning or tensileforce or moment load is applied to the portor tube. It may cause the fittings to fractureor the tubing to crush, explode or comeloose.7. Do not abrade, entangle or scratch thetubing. It may cause the tubing to crush,explode or come loose.15-7-11

Series VMGSpecific Product Precautions 2Be sure to read before handling.12WarningWarning1. Use clean air.Do not use compressed air which includes chemicals, syntheticoils containing organic solvents, salt or corrosive gases, etc., as itcan cause damage or malfunction.CautionWarningLubrication1. Do not lubricate the product.It may contaminate or damage the target object.Air Supply1. Install air filters.Install air filters at the upstream side of blow gun. The filtration degreeshould be 5µm or finer.2. Install an after-cooler, air dryer or waterseparator, etc.Air excessive drainage may cause malfunction of blow gun andcontaminate or damage the target object. To prevent this, installan after-cooler, air dryer or water separator, etc.Operating Environment1. Do not use in an atmosphere of corrosivegases, chemicals, sea water, water or watervapor or in an environment where suchsubstances may adhere.2. Provide shading in an environment wherethe product is exposed to the sunlight.3. Do not use in an environment where a heatsource is at a close distance.4. Do not use in an environment where staticelectricity is a problem. It may causemalfunction or failure of the system. Pleaseconsult with SMC for use in such anenvironment.5. Do not use in an environment where spattersare generated. There is danger of firescaused by spattering. Please contact SMCfor use in such an environment.6. Do not use in an environment where theproduct is exposed to cutting oil, lubricantoil or coolant oil. Please contact SMC for usein an environment where the product isexposed to such liquid as cutting oil,lubricant oil or coolant oil.Caution1. In periodical inspections, check the followingitems and replace the parts if necessary.a) Scratches, gouges, abrasion, corrosionb) Air leakagec) Twisting, crushing and turning of connected tubesd) Hardening, deterioration and softening of connected tubese) Loosening of the nozzle2. When removing the product, first stop thepressure supply, exhaust compressed air inthe piping and confirm the condition ofatmospheric release.3. Do not disassemble or remodel the body ofthe product.WarningMaintenanceHandling1. To prevent lurching of the nozzle due to airpressure, confirm that the nozzle is notloosened or rattling by pulling it by handbefore operation.2. Be sure to wear safety goggles to protectyourself from splashed substances.3. Do not direct the tip of the nozzle at the faceor other parts of a human body. It may causedanger to personnel.4. Do not use the product to clean or removetoxic substances or chemicals.5. Do not drop, step on or hit the product. Itmay cause damage to the product.6. Do not use the product to disturb publicorder or public hygiene.7. This product is not a toy.15-7-12
