Nozzles
Note
The choice of the nozzle depends on the
material of the object to be cleaned and the
contamination.
The available air volume also significantly
influences the selection of the nozzle.
All nozzles can be screwed on top of the
threading of the jet pistol without using any
tools. The threaded surfaces on the nozzle
are to be used to loosen tight nozzles using
a spanner.
Caution
Risk of cold welding Smear the enclosed
grease on the nozzle threading before in-
stalling it.
Selecting the nozzle
The following table shows the air consump-
tion with different nozzles.
Each nozzle is marked with an air volume
index XS - XXL.
By means of the nozzle table the air con-
sumption for each nozzle can be deter-
mined.
