English / USA
Because the sprayer is a
tool for spraying
chemicals, special safety
precautions must be
observed to reduce the
risk of personal injury.
It is important that you
read, fully understand and
observe the following
general safety
precautions and
warnings. Read the
instruction manual and the safety
precautions periodically. In addition,
read and follow the chemical
manufacturer’s instructions for the
chemical products being applied. Since
such products may vary greatly in
handling/application requirements and
risks, the chemical product label is
normally your best guide for safe and
effective use.
!
Warning!
Read the label each time before mixing
or using the chemical and before storing
or disposing of it. Do not trust your
memory. Careless or improper use may
cause serious or fatal injury.
Have your STIHL dealer show you how
to operate your sprayer. Observe all
applicable federal, state and local safety
regulations, standards and ordinances.
All operating and servicing personnel
should be trained and familiarized with
the proper handling procedures for the
chemical products being used, as well
as with first aid/emergency care, and
liquid chemical disposal regulations.
!
Warning!
Do not lend or rent your sprayer without
the instruction manual. Be sure that
anyone using it understands the
information contained in this manual.
!
Warning!
The chemicals sprayed with your
sprayer may contain toxic substances.
Such chemicals can be dangerous and
cause serious or fatal injury to persons
and animals and/or severe damage to
plants and the environment.
Avoid direct contact with chemicals.
Follow the chemical manufacturer’s
instructions with respect to any contact
with its product.
Use your sprayer for spraying chemicals
and other liquids to control pests and
weeds in fruit, flower and vegetable
gardens, on trees and bushes and on
other plants. It is also useful in the
maintenance of young trees, controlling
the bark beetle and other plant diseases.
!
Warning!
Do not use it for other purposes, since
misuse may result in personal injury or
property damage, including damage to
the sprayer itself.
!
Warning!
Minors should never be allowed to use
this sprayer. Bystanders, especially
children, and animals should not be
allowed in the area where it is in use.
Make sure that unauthorized persons do
not use it.
Most of these safety precautions and
warnings apply to the use of all STIHL
sprayers. Different models may have
different parts and controls. See the
appropriate section of your instruction
manual for a description of the controls
and the function of the parts of your
model.
Safe use of a sprayer involves
1. the operator
2. the sprayer
3. the use of the sprayer
4. the handling of the chemicals to be
sprayed.
