On some boards, you might just damage something.
That's certainly too high
for relay coils and such. You stand a good chance of ripping off labels,
too. More importantly, if it does rip something off, or frees some grit,
the debris will come flying off at high speed, which is rather dangerous.
Of course, it all depends on how far he nozzle is from the board.
However, if you're holding it some distance away to reduce the pressure,
you'd save air and electricity by lowering the pressure instead.
In my case this takes place in the garage. Plus, I've yet to encounter
anything that I'd be afraid of flying and hitting something.
The most delicate item I've cleaned is probably a floppy drive. I don't
hit the head, or greased parts with a full 80psi.
