How to Mount a Nozzle
Preparation
Tightening
zCheck that the ferrule is mounted inside the
fitting as shown in the figure below. Hand-
tighten the union nut. Ensure the ferrule is
aligned properly.
vAfter verifying the dimension, insert the
nozzle into the fitting body again. Confirm
that the nozzle is inserted down to the
marking.
xInsert the nozzle until it touches the fitting
body. Then, mark a line on the nozzle at the
edge of the union nut.
bUsing the tightening tool, tighten the union
nut so that the gap between the fitting body
and the union nut becomes 2 mm or less.
cRemove the nozzle once, and check the
dimension from the end of the nozzle to the
marking. If the dimension is different from the
17 mm, verify the alignment of the nozzle
and adjust.
nPull the nozzle by hand to ensure that the
nozzle is secure.
Before operation, pull the nozzle by hand
again to confirm that the nozzle is securely
attached and will not be ejected during
operation.
Insert the nozzle until it touches the bottom of
the fitting body.

Impact Blow Gun IBG Series

Mounting
Warning
3. Screw-in the nozzle to the torque below by holding
the flat faces on the discharge side or metal holder.
As a guideline, it is equivalent to 2 to 3 additional
turns with a tool after hand-tightening.
Flat face
Metal holder
Nozzle tightening torque range 12 to 14 N·m
Insufficient tightening may cause loosening of the nozzle.
Piping
Caution
1. Check the model, type, and size before installation.
Also, confirm that there are no scratches, gouges, or cracks on the product.
2. Preparation before piping
Before piping is connected, it should be thoroughly blown out with air (flushing)
or washed to remove chips, cutting oil, and other debris from inside the pipe.
3. Winding of sealant tape
When connecting pipes, fittings, etc., be sure that chips from the pipe
threads and sealing material do not enter the blow gun. Furthermore,
when sealant tape is used, leave 1.5 to 2 thread ridges exposed at
the end of the threads.
Winding direction
Sealant tape
Expose approx. 2 threads
4. When tightening the threads, tighten with torque specified
in the table below. As a guideline, it is equivalent to 2 to 3
additional turns with a tool after hand-tightening.
Be careful that tightening with torque beyond the range in the
table below may cause damage to the body.
Male thread Tightening torque [N·m]
R1/4 12 to 14
R3/8 22 to 24
5. Allow extra length when connecting a tube to accom-
modate 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.
Prior to Use
Warning
As the pressure of the air blow is quite powerful, do
not aim the product at another person during
operation. It may cause danger to personnel.
Additionally, the following precautions should be
taken before use.
1. Before use, make sure that the blow pressure, or
blow, will not cause surrounding objects to scatter
and injure others or damage workpieces, equip-
ment, etc., in the vicinity.
2. Wear protective eyewear when operating the
product to protect your eyes from scattering debris.
3. This product is not a toy. Do not play with the
product or use it as an air gun for fun.
4. Air pressure may cause the nozzle to fly off during
operation if it is not properly tightened. To prevent
this, be sure to check the nozzle for loosening by
pulling on it with your hands before use.
5. The grip may become hot due to repeated operation;
however, this is not abnormal.
Selection
Warning
1. Confirm the specifications.
Products represented in this catalog are designed only for use
in compressed air systems. Do not operate at pressures,
temperatures, etc., beyond the range of specifications, as this
can cause damage or malfunction.
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.
Mounting
Warning
1. Install a stop valve on the supply pressure side of the
blow gun.
It will be emergency shut off in case of unexpected leakage or
damage.
2. When installing a nozzle on the blow gun, wind
sealant tape around the threads of the nozzle.
Be sure to read this before handling the products. Refer to the back cover for safety
instructions. For other precautions, refer to the “Handling Precautions for SMC
Products” and the “Operation Manual” on the SMC website: https://www.smcworld.com

Specific Product Precautions 1
9

Maintenance
Caution
1. In periodical inspections, check the following items
and replace the parts if necessary.
a) Scratches, gouges, abrasion, corrosion
b) Air leakage
c) Twisting, crushing, and turning of connected tubes
d) Hardening, deterioration, and softening of connected tubes
e) Loosening of nozzles
2. When removing the product, first stop the pressure
supply, exhaust compressed air in the piping, and
check the condition of atmospheric release.
3.
Do not disassemble or remodel the body of the product.
Handling
Warning
1. Air pressure may cause the nozzle to fly off during operation if it
is not properly tightened. To prevent this, be sure to check the
nozzle for loosening by pulling on it with your hands before use.
2. Be sure to wear protective eyewear when operating the
product to protect your eyes from scattering debris.
3. Do not direct the tip of the nozzle at the face or other
parts of a human body. It may cause danger to personnel.
4. Do not use the product to clean or remove toxic
substances or chemicals.
5. Do not drop, step on, or hit the product. It may
cause damage to the product.
6. Do not use the product to disturb public order or
public hygiene.
7. This product is not a toy.
8.
After blowing, make sure to hang the product on a hook, etc.
If leaving the product in a dusty place, particles will enter the
product and may result in a malfunction.
Hook
9. When the blow gun is used or stored, 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.
Caution
1. Pressurizing the air blow discharge port may result
in the breakage of the product.
2.
The blow adjusting range 4 provides the maximum blow. Rotating
the adjuster exceeding 4 may result in the breakage of the product.
Lubrication
Warning
1. Do not lubricate the product.
It may contaminate or damage the target object.
Air Supply
Warning
1. Use clean air.
Do not use compressed air that contains chemicals, synthetic
oils that include organic solvents, salt, corrosive gases, etc.,
as it can cause damage or malfunction.
Caution
1. Install an air filter.
Install an air filter upstream near the blow gun. Select an air
filter with a filtration size of 5 μm or smaller.
2. Take measures to ensure air quality, such as by
installing an aftercooler, air dryer, or water separator.
Compressed air that contains a large amount of drainage can
cause the malfunction of the blow gun and contaminate or
