Never eat or drink when handling spraying
agents.
Stop working immediately if you start to feel
unwell while working, or if you become unusually
tired. Seek medical advice if the condition
persists.
Never allow children or anybody who is not
familiar with handling this type of spraying agent
to handle the spraying agent.
Clean the spraying agent tank and all other
spraying agent carrying parts whenever the
spraying agent is changed. To flush out any
residue from the pump and the hose, run the
pressure sprayer with clean water after cleaning
the spraying agent tank and before the next
spraying agent is filled in. This will prevent the
risk of any chemical reactions taking place
between the different substances.
Never spray in narrow or enclosed spaces –
spraying agents are toxic and there is a risk of
poisoning. Spraying equipment must for
example only be used in greenhouses if
adequate ventilation is provided. Signs must be
put up in greenhouses that have been treated.
Nobody should enter the greenhouse again until
it has been thoroughly ventilated.
When you have finished spraying, prepare the
device for storage according to section 5.5,
thoroughly wash your face and hands with soap,
take off your work clothing and ensure that it is
washed regularly. Any unused spraying agent
that is left over in the device could cause
corrosion and hence damage the device.
Special attention must be paid to wearing parts
like spray nozzles, filters and seals.
1.4 Work clothing /
personal protection equipment (PPE)
Always wear suitable protective clothing in
accordance with the relevant regulations. The
clothing must protect all parts of your body against
contact with spraying agents and against objects
that are kicked up – i.e., protective gloves, face
protection (e.g., protective goggles), protective
footwear, body protection (e.g., rubber apron), if
required breathing protection.
Clothing should be appropriate – i.e., tight-fitting,
but not obstructive.
Wear protective gloves with non-slip
palms.
Wear face protection (e.g., safety goggles)
against the spraying agents.
Always wear a breathing mask when
working in dense and tall plants, in
greenhouses, in dips in the ground or in
trenches and when using dangerous spraying
agents.
Wear protective shoes with good grip, preferably
safety shoes.
Immediately change any clothing that becomes
soaked with the spraying agent.
Wash the work clothing regularly.
Never wear a scarf, tie, loose jewellery or other
items of clothing that could be caught in a bush
or on a branch.

1.5 Transportation of the device

To prevent damage and to eliminate potential
hazards for other road users, use secure lashing
equipment to secure the device and prevent it
from tipping over, rolling away and falling when
transporting it on a vehicle.
Take appropriate measures to ensure that the
spraying agent cannot leak or spill. Check the
spraying agent tank and all hoses and pipes that
carry the spraying agent for leaks.
Before transporting the device you should ideally
prepare the device for transportation according
to section 5.5.

1.6 Before and during work

Every time before you start using the device,
check the entire device to ensure it is safe to use
according to section 5.7.
Check the spraying agent tank and all hoses and
pipes that carry the spraying agent for leaks.
Prior to every use, ensure the proper functioning
for the pressure relief valve (2).
Never start working if there are any irregularities
or leaks, if you can see any damage to the
equipment or if the equipment is not working
properly in any way. In this event, immediately
depressurise the device by pulling on the
pressure relief valve (Fig. 4) and have it checked
by a specialist workshop.
Before pulling on the pressure relief valve (2),
the device must always be in an upright position.
Attention: Keep the device away from your face!
The device must only be operated by one
person at a time. Nobody else must be
within a radius of 15 metres [approx.
16 yards] at the same time.
When starting to pump, ensure that the shut-off
valve is closed. Point the spray tube towards a
free area.
Always ensure that there is an adequate air
change when working in restricted conditions, in
tight, tall plant growth, in greenhouses, in dips in
the ground or in trenches.
Always remain within calling distance of other
persons who could help in the event of an
emergency.
Take breaks at regular intervals.
Never eat or drink when using spraying agents.
