Safety Precautions And Working Techniques - Stihl SR 340 Manual De Instrucciones

Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Because the mistblower 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 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 power tool. Observe all
applicable local safety regulations,
standards and ordinances.
SR 340, SR 420
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 power tool
without the instruction manual. Be sure
that anyone using it understands the
information contained in this manual.
!
Warning!
The chemicals sprayed with your power
tool may contain toxic and/or caustic
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 power tool 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, such as coffee,
tobacco and cotton. It is also useful in
the maintenance of young trees,
controlling the bark beetle and other
plant diseases.
