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.
Dusting and spreading mode – SR 450
only
In the dusting and spreading mode,
plant protection products can be applied
in powder form or as dry granulate up to
a grain size of 5 mm.
46
Observe legal requirements for handling
plant control chemicals.
Observe the directions for use or the
label of the plant protection product.
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 in
powder form containing sulphur since
they are highly explosive and have a
very low ignition point.
Antistatic system
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 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.
