model No. BO 1 — which provides the garage workshop with a means of cleaning off swarf, oil and water.
The gun has a lightweight, cast zinc-alloy body, which is ergonomically designed to fit the natural shape of the operator's hand. The air valve lever is controlled by the whole length of the thumb — a more restful action compared to the usual push-button designs.
The BG 1 has a safety nozzle which emits a disc-shaped fan of high-speed air surrounding the main jet; effectively shielding the operator from particles being blown back. These nozzles meet the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act (1974), and the latest OSHA Standards. The guns have a 1/4" BSI airline connection.
