To reduce the risk of injury
to your eyes you may
need to wear protective

When working with toxic chemicals, the
operator and any bystanders may 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.

Warning!
Your sprayer may sometimes also be
used indoors in areas 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.
