Compressed air is a wonderful tool. But, you should wear googles when using it. There are many compressed air accidents each year, and most of them are the result of blowing foreign objects into one's eyes.
Be careful with that sp, a good eye doc is hard to find.There are many compressed air accidents each year, and most of them are the result of blowing foreign objects into one's eyes.
That is a bit dangerous. You should be using a blow off nozzle that amplifies the volume of air and limits the pressure to 15PSI. Compressed air can be lethal. I think spray from a garden hose would be a safer choice for cleaning.seems like the recommendation was for about 40 lbs,
I suggested it a few weeks ago, probably others in past have too. Its not dangerous, Air nozzle works very well on old comb, very fast and effecient, do not use on new comb.That is a bit dangerous.

sorry ace, but those dead bees were lodged in there pretty tight. i had to use the full 120 psi that my large compressor is capable of, and i had let it build back up anytime i got below 90 psi.That is a bit dangerous.

shhh!Be careful with that sp, a good eye doc is hard to find.![]()

Second, compressed air itself is also a serious hazard. On rare occasions, some of the compressed air can enter the blood stream through a break in the skin or through a body opening. An air bubble in the blood stream is known medically as an embolism, a dangerous medical condition in which a blood vessel is blocked, in this case, by an air bubble. An embolism of an artery can cause coma, paralysis or death depending upon its size, duration and location. While air embolisms are usually associated with incorrect diving procedures, they are possible with compressed air due to high pressures. While this seems improbable, the consequences of even a small quantity of air or other gas in the blood can quickly be fatal.
