WARNING
In limited circumstances, mistblowers
may also be used in greenhouses that
are very well-ventilated if the operator
can protect himself or herself from any
harmful effects through the use of proper
SR 200
eye, skin and respiratory protection.
Such work may require special
precautions, and must not be prohibited
on the chemical product label.
THE POWER TOOL
For illustrations and definitions of the
power tool parts see the chapter on
"Main Parts."
WARNING
Never modify this power tool in any way.
Only attachments supplied by STIHL or
expressly approved by STIHL for use
with the specific STIHL model are
authorized. Although certain
unauthorized attachments are useable
with STIHL power tools, their use may,
in fact, be extremely dangerous.
If this tool is subjected to unusually high
loads for which it was not designed (e.g.
heavy impact or a fall), always check
that it is in good condition before
continuing work. Check in particular that
the fuel system is tight (no leaks) and
that the controls and safety devices are
working properly. Do not continue
operating this machine if it is damaged.
In case of doubt, have it checked by your
STIHL servicing dealer.
HANDLING OF CHEMICALS
WARNING
Some 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.
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.
WARNING
Chemicals can be harmful to individuals,
animals and the environment if
improperly used. In addition, some
chemicals that are caustic, corrosive or
poisonous should not be used in your
mistblower.
Carefully read the labels on chemical
containers prior to use. Chemicals are
classified into categories of toxicity.
Pesticides regulated by the EPA, for
instance, use signal words to indicate
the product's potential to make you sick.
"Caution" appears on pesticides found
to be least harmful to humans.
"Warning" indicates a product that is
more poisonous than those in the
"Caution" group. Pesticides with the
signal word "Danger" on the label are
very poisonous or irritating. They should
be used with extreme care. Finally,
pesticides labeled "Danger – Poison"
are for restricted use only and generally
must be used under the supervision of a
certified applicator. Each category will
have unique handling characteristics.
