2. Important Safety Information

Please read and understand all warnings and instructions before use to prevent injury or damage.

• DO NOT SHAKE: This product should not be shaken before or during use. Shaking can cause the propellant to dispense as liquid, which may cause frostbite or damage to sensitive electronics.
• USE IN WELL-VENTILATED AREAS: Ensure adequate ventilation to avoid inhalation of contents. Intentional misuse by deliberately inhaling contents can be fatal.
• KEEP UPRIGHT: Always hold the can in an upright position during use. Tilting or inverting the can may cause liquid propellant to be dispensed.
• AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN: The can and dispensed gas can become very cold during use. Avoid prolonged contact with skin to prevent frostbite.
• KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT/IGNITION SOURCES: Do not use near potential ignition sources, hot surfaces, or electrical appliances that may spark. Contents are flammable.
• KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN: This product contains a bitterant to help discourage inhalant abuse.

3. Setup

1. Attach Extension Straw: Carefully insert the thin red extension straw into the nozzle opening on the top of the can. This straw allows for precise targeting of airflow in tight spaces.
2. Remove Safety Tab: A small plastic part prevents the trigger from being pushed to release the compressed gas. This plastic part needs to be broken and removed before the trigger can begin to work.

4. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective and safe use of your Dust-Off Duster:

1. Position the Can: Hold the can upright. Do not tilt, shake, or turn upside down during use.
2. Target the Area: Point the extension straw towards the area you wish to clean.
3. Dispense Air: Press the trigger in short, controlled bursts. Avoid continuous spraying, as this can cause the can to cool rapidly and potentially dispense liquid propellant.
4. Clean Effectively: Use the powerful blast of air to dislodge dust, lint, and debris from keyboards, computer components, camera lenses, and other delicate electronics or hard-to-reach crevices.

5. Maintenance

• Storage: Store the can in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and temperatures above 120°F (49°C).
• Disposal: Dispose of empty cans according to local regulations. Do not puncture or incinerate.

6. Troubleshooting

No Air Dispensed:

• Ensure the safety tab has been completely removed from the trigger mechanism.
• Verify the extension straw is securely inserted into the nozzle.
• Check if the can is empty.

Liquid Spraying Out:

• Ensure the can is held upright during use.
• Avoid shaking the can.
• Use short bursts instead of continuous spraying to prevent excessive cooling.
