Stihl SR 430 Manual De Instrucciones página 7

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 eye, skin and respiratory protec-
tion. 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 and Controls."
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 unauthor-
ized 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.
SR 430, SR 450
Dusting and spreading mode –
SR 450 only
The dusting and spreading mode can be
used for powder or dry granulate up to a
grain size of 5 mm.
Observe all legal requirements for
handling the chemicals. Observe the
directions for use on the label of the
product at issue.
Using the dusting and spreading
mode
Warning!
An electrostatic charge may be created
in the extension tube and nozzle area
when applying dry materials (e.g. dusts)
with the dusting and spreading attach-
ment. This is especially true in low
humidity conditions. Check the label
and/or material safety data sheet for the
chemical you are applying. To reduce
the risk of severe or fatal injury, do not
use your mistblower to apply sub-
stances that may create a combustible
or explosive dust cloud. For instance,
never use your mistblower to apply sul-
fur or sulfur compounds, since they may
be highly explosive and have relatively
low melting and ignition points.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of sparking when
applying any dry substance, make sure
that the discharge system (antistatic
wire in the mistblower connected to a
metal chain) is completely and properly
mounted to the machine, and that the
discharge chain is making contact with
the ground. It is essential to follow the
assembly instructions – see the chapter
"Assembling the Unit" in this instruction
manual.
Do not use the dusting and spreading
attachment on non-conductive surfaces
(e.g. plastic, asphalt).
Never operate your machine with a
missing or damaged discharge system.
