Safe use of a sprayer involves
- the operator
- the sprayer
- the use of the sprayer
- the handling of the chemicals to be sprayed.
THE OPERATOR
Physical Condition
You must be in good physical condition and mental health and not under the influence of any substance (drugs, alcohol, etc.) which might impair vision,
dexterity or judgment. Do not operate this handheld sprayer when you are fatigued.
Proper Clothing
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury when working with chemical agents, the operator should wear proper protective apparel when filling, using and cleaning the sprayer. Always follow all of the chemical manufacturer's instructions with respect to proper eye, skin, nose and mouth protection. They may differ from and exceed the following precautions.
English
WARNING
To reduce the risk of eye injury, always wear goggles or close-fitting protective glasses with adequate side protection that are impact-rated and marked as complying with ANSI Z87 "+". Wearers of prescription (Rx) eyewear should wear eye protection that meets these requirements and that incorporates the prescription in its design or that can be worn over prescription lenses without disrupting either the prescription eyewear or the protective eyewear. Check the product label for the chemical you are spraying.
When working with toxic chemicals, the operator need to wear a properly fitted respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for the chemical being used. Consult the product label. Breathing toxic chemicals can cause serious or fatal injury.
Always wear rub- ber/chemical-resistant gloves when handling the sprayer.
For some chemicals it is advisable to wear impermeable coveralls or an impermeable work apron. Check the product label. If you are spraying overhead or if the spray may reach head height, wear a wide brim hat or other suitable head covering. Do not wear shorts, sandals or go barefoot.
Wear rubber/chemical-resistant boots.
WARNING
Sprayers may also be used in greenhouses that are well-ventilated if the chemical being sprayed allows such use and if the operator can protect himself or herself from any harmful effects through the use of proper eye, skin, nose and mouth protection. Such work may require special precautions.
THE SPRAYER
For illustrations and definitions of the sprayer parts see the chapter on "Main Parts and Controls."
WARNING
Never modify this sprayer in any way. Only attachments supplied by STIHL or expressly approved by STIHL for use with the specific STIHL model are authorized.
If this tool is subjected to unusually high loads for which it was not designed (e.g. heavy impact or a fall), always check that it is in good condition before continuing work. Check in particular that the container system is tight (no leaks) and that the controls are working properly. Do not continue operating this sprayer if it is damaged. In case of doubt, have it checked by your STIHL servicing dealer.
WARNING
Make sure the lid and pump assembly is securely attached and in good condition before pressurizing the container. Never attempt to pressurize the unit by any other method than with the pump module provided.
HANDLING OF CHEMICALS
WARNING
Chemicals can be harmful to individuals, animals and the environment if improperly used. In addition, some chemicals that are caustic, corrosive or poisonous should not be used in your sprayer.
Carefully read the labels on chemical containers prior to use. Chemicals are classified into categories of toxicity. Pesticides regulated by the EPA, for instance, use signal words to indicate the product's potential to make you sick. "Caution" appears on pesticides found to be least harmful to humans. "Warning" indicates a product that is more poisonous than those in the "Caution" group. Pesticides with the signal word "Danger" on the label are
very poisonous or irritating. They should be used with extreme care. Finally, pesticides labeled "Danger – Poison" are for restricted use only and generally must be used under the supervision of a certified applicator.
Similarly, the EPA rates herbicides with the signal words "Caution", "Warning" and "Danger." Each category will have unique handling characteristics. Familiarize yourself with the characteristics for the category you are using.
WARNING
Mix only compatible pesticides and/or herbicides. Wrong mixtures can produce toxic fumes.
When handling chemicals and when spraying, make sure you are operating in accordance with local, state, and federal environmental protection rules and guidelines. Do not spray in windy conditions. To help protect the environment, use only the recommended dosage – do not overuse.
WARNING
Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling chemicals or while you are spraying. Never blow through nozzles, valves, pipes or any other component by mouth. Always handle chemicals in a well-ventilated area while wearing appropriate protective clothing and safety equipment. Do not store or transport chemicals with food or medicines, and never reuse a chemical container for any other purpose.
Do not transfer spray materials to other containers, especially food and/or drink containers.
WARNING
In case of accidental contact or ingestion of chemicals or in case of contamination of clothing, stop work and immediately consult the chemical manufacturer's instructions. If in doubt as to what to do, consult a poison control center or doctor immediately. Have the product's label available to read to or show the persons you consult.
Clean all chemical spills immediately. Dispose of any residue in accordance with state or federal laws and regulations.
WARNING
Keep chemicals out of reach of children, other unauthorized people or animals. When not in use, store chemicals in a safe place. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for proper storage.
THE USE OF THE SPRAYER
Transporting the Sprayer
Empty container when transporting it in a vehicle; properly secure it to prevent damage to the unit.
Filling the Container
Before using the sprayer with chemicals, fill it with fresh water to assure that you have it properly assembled; pressurize it and practice spraying. Also, check for any leaks at this time. When thoroughly
familiar with the sprayer operation, drain the water and follow normal operating procedures.
Fill your sprayer in well-ventilated areas, outdoors.
WARNING
Do not use:
- flammable substances/materials in the sprayer, which can explode causing serious or fatal injury;
- caustic or corrosive materials in the sprayer, which could result in damage to the unit and serious or fatal injuries;
- liquids with a temperature above 30 °C (86 °F) to avoid scalding and damage to the unit. Do not leave pressurized sprayer in the hot sun or near any heat source.
To fill the sprayer, place it on a level surface. To reduce the risk of contaminating the surrounding environment, be careful not to overfill the container with chemical solution.
If you fill the container with a hose attached to a central water supply, be sure the end of the hose is out of the solution to reduce the risk of backflow, i.e. the chemicals being sucked into the water supply in the case of a sudden vacuum.
Calculate the correct amount of chemical solution so that it is used up at one time, with no extra solution left in the container.
English
WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal injury and/or property damage from solutions that are too strong, make sure that chemicals that require dilution are diluted properly. When filled to the maximum mark, the tank contains approximately 1.5 l (50.7 oz.). See the Specifications for the exact amount.
WARNING
Check for leakage while refilling and during operation. A leak from the container or a loose fitting could soak your clothing and come into contact with your skin.
Before Spraying
WARNING
Always inspect your sprayer before and after each use. To reduce the risk of leakage and skin contact with chemicals, check that the cap is tight, and in good condition before pressurizing the container.
WARNING
Never use a sprayer that is damaged or not properly maintained.
WARNING
Your sprayer is a one-person tool. Do not allow other persons in the general work area.
During Operation
Holding and Controlling the Sprayer
The sprayer is operated with either the right hand or the left hand on the trigger valve.
WARNING
Keep the container upright to reduce the risk of spillage.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control, never work on a ladder, in a tree or on any other insecure support.
Working conditions
Operate your sprayer only in a well-ventilated area. Operate it under good visibility and daylight conditions only. Work carefully.
WARNING
Inhalation of certain chemicals can cause susceptible persons to have an allergic or asthmatic reaction.
Substantial or repeated inhalation of certain chemicals may cause respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Control the chemical spray at the source where possible. Use good work practices, such as operating the unit so that the wind or operating process does not blow the spray back on the operator. Follow the recommendations of
EPA/OSHA/NIOSH and occupational and trade associations with respect to proper usage. When the inhalation of the chemical being sprayed cannot be avoided, the operator and any bystanders may need to wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for the type of chemical encountered.
Consult the label of the chemical product being used.
WARNING
If you are unfamiliar with the risks associated with the particular chemical at issue, review the product label and/or material safety data sheet for that substance and/or consult the material manufacturer/supplier. You may also consult your employer, governmental agencies such as the EPA, OSHA and NIOSH and other sources on hazardous materials. The state of California and some other authorities, for instance, have published lists of substances known to cause cancer, reproductive toxicity, etc.
Operating Instructions
WARNING
Never spray in the direction of humans, animals or property which might be injured or damaged by spray formula.
Pay attention to the direction of the wind, i.e., do not work against the wind. When spraying, stand so that the wind does not blow towards you or bystanders.
Keep children and pets away from areas that have just been sprayed. After the use of some chemicals, especially agricultural pesticides, a notice must be posted on the treated area that a "Restricted Entry Interval" (REI) is in effect. See the product's label and any applicable governmental regulations.
DANGER
To reduce the risk of electrocution, never operate this sprayer in the vicinity of any wires or cables (power, etc.) which may be carrying electric current. Do not spray on or near electrical systems.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, always release pressure in the container prior to filling, cleaning or servicing the sprayer and when spraying is completed. Pull up on the pressure release valve while holding the unit in an upright position.
After Finishing Work
Always release the pressure out of the container after finishing work. To release the pressure, turn the knurled wheel on the pressure relief valve while holding the unit upright until there is no more air or mist coming out. Open the cover slowly to make sure that the container is completely depressurized. Avoid breathing in the mist which is released.
Always wash thoroughly with soap and water after spraying or handling chemicals. Shower immediately, and
wash all protective clothing separately. Follow any additional recommendations of the chemical manufacturer.
Always clean dust and dirt off the sprayer.
WARNING
Empty, rinse and clean the container and sprayer assembly after each use. This helps to prevent the solution from crystallizing, which could later cause clogging and chemical damage to the unit. In addition, residual chemicals may have undesirable effects during subsequent spraying with a different type of chemical (e.g., residual herbicide may damage or kill plants being sprayed with a pesticide).
Disposal of contaminated rinse should be in accordance with applicable ordinances. Observe the precautionary instructions of the chemical manufacturer.
Do not store sprayer under pressure or with spray solution in the container.
Maintenance, Repair and Storing
WARNING
Use only identical STIHL replacement parts for maintenance and repair. Use of non-STIHL parts may result in personal injury or property damage.
Strictly follow the maintenance and repair instructions in the appropriate section of your instruction manual. Please refer to the maintenance chapter in this manual.
WARNING
Always first release pressure in the container prior to cleaning or servicing the sprayer.
Do not attempt any maintenance or repair work not described in your instruction manual. Have such work performed by your STIHL servicing dealer only.
