I would argue that using compressed air is the wrong thing to do. The air can actually force/wedge shavings into places they do not belong. It would be best to cover all electronics and to brush, tip upside down or vacumn away the shavings. I know that I pointed the nosel of our air compressor at the electronics once to do just that and our lead engineer had a few quick words of explainaiton for me.
