Filling the Container
!
Warning!
Tighten all connections and check to be
sure the hose is securely attached and
in good condition. Keep the stop cock
closed.
Before using the power tool with
chemicals, fill it with fresh water to
assure that you have it properly
assembled and practice spraying. Also,
check for any leaks at this time. When
thoroughly familiar with the power tool
operation, follow normal operating
procedures.
Fill your power tool in well-ventilated
areas, outdoors.
!
Warning!
Do not use:
– flammables in the mistblower, which
can explode causing serious or fatal
injury;
– caustic or corrosive materials in the
mistblower, which could result in
damage to the unit;
– liquids with a temperature above
120° F (50° C) to avoid scalding and
damage to the unit.
SR 340, SR 420
To fill the power tool, 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
tank.
!
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 Starting

!
Warning!
Always check your power tool for proper
condition and operation before starting,
particularly the throttle trigger, setting
lever and stop switch. The throttle trigger
must move freely and always spring
back to the idle position. Never attempt
to modify the controls or safety devices.
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of leakage and skin
contact with chemicals, check that the
cap and all connections are tight, and be
sure the hose is securely attached and
in good condition. Keep the stop cock
closed.
!
Warning!
Never use a power tool that is damaged
or not properly maintained.
!
Warning!
Check that the spark plug boot is
securely mounted on the spark plug – a
loose boot may cause arcing that could
ignite combustible fumes and cause a
fire.
Keep the handles clean and dry at all
times; it is particularly important to keep
them free of moisture, pitch, oil, fuel mix,
grease or resin in order for you to
maintain a firm grip and properly control
your power tool.
