If an assistant is required to put the
power tool on your back, make sure that
–
the engine is running at idle speed
–
the assistant is not standing in the
area of the exhaust outlet and
breathing exhaust fumes
–
the valve lever is closed
–
the assistant is not standing in the
area of the outlet nozzle
–
the assistant must leave the work
area immediately after you have put
the power tool on your back.
Dusting and Spreading Attachment
(Special Accessory)
Powder or dry granulate can be applied
on the dusting and spreading mode.
Observe legal requirements for handling
the chemicals.
Observe the directions for use or the
label of the plant protection product.
Application
Electrostatic charging with sparking can
occur when working with the dusting and
spreading attachment.
The risk is greatest
–
in extremely dry weather conditions
–
when using powdered products,
which create a highly concentrated
dust cloud.
To reduce the risk of accidents and
damage to the power tool, never operate
it with explosive or combustible
materials.
Do not apply sulphur or compounds
containing sulphur since they are highly
explosive and have a very low ignition
point.
To reduce the risk of sparking, explosion
or fire, make sure the antistatic system is
completely and properly mounted to the
machine. It consists of a conductive wire
in the spray tube connected to a metal
chain. The metal chain must make
contact with a conductive surface to
dissipate electrostatic charges.
Do not operate your machine on a non-
conductive surface (e.g. plastic,
asphalt).
Never operate your machine with a
missing or damaged discharge system.
Follow the mounting instructions
supplied with the "Dusting and
Spreading Attachment".
Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
Carry the power tool on your back with
both harness straps – do not hang it over
one shoulder. Hold and control the
blower tube with your right hand on the
control handle – even if you are left-
handed.
Walk slowly forwards as you work –
observe the nozzle outlet at all times –
do not walk backwards – risk of
stumbling.
Keep the power tool and container
upright. To avoid the risk of chemical
leaking from the container and causing
injury,do not bend forwards.
During Operation
Do not direct the air blast towards
bystanders since the air flow can blow
small objects at great speed.
In the event of impending danger or in
an emergency, switch off the engine
immediately by moving the setting lever
to STOP or 0.
Throwing off power tool in an
emergency:
–
Open the fastener on the hip belt
(special accessory).
–
Slip the straps off your shoulders.
–
Throw the power tool to the ground.
Never leave a running power tool
unattended.
Take special care in slippery conditions
– damp, snow, ice, on slopes or uneven
ground.
