4. Do not use flammables in the mist blower,
which may cause explosion resulting in seri-
ous or fatal injury.
5. Do not use caustic or corrosive materials in
the mist blower, which could result in damage
to the machine.
6. Do not use liquid with temperature exceeds 50
°C (122 °F) to reduce the risk of scalding and
damage to the machine.
7. To fill the tank, place the mist blower on a level
surface. To reduce the risk of contaminating
the surrounding environment, be careful not to
overfill the tank with chemical solution.
8. To reduce the risk of injury, do not fill the tank
while wearing the machine on your back.
9. If you fill the solution 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.
10. Calculate the correct amount of chemical solu-
tion so that it is used up at one time, with no
extra solution left over in the tank.
11. After filling, tighten the tank cap firmly.
12. Check for leakage while refilling and during
operation. A leak from the tank or a loose fit-
ting could soak your clothing and come into
contact with your skin.
13. Fill the tank with liquid according to operator's
body size or strength.
Operation
Switch off the machine and remove the battery
1.
cartridges and make sure that all moving parts
have come to a complete stop
whenever you leave the machine.
•
• before clearing blockages.
• before checking, cleaning or working on
the machine.
• if the machine starts to vibrate
abnormally.
Operate the machine only in daylight or in
2.
good artificial light.
3. Do not overreach and keep proper balance and
footing at all times.
4. Always be sure of your footing on slopes.
5. Walk, never run.
6. Keep all cooling air inlets clear of debris.
7. Never spray in the direction of bystanders.
Operate the machine in a recommended posi-
8.
tion and on a firm surface.
Do not operate the machine at high places.
9.
10. Never point the nozzle at anyone in the vicinity
when using the machine.
11. Never block suction inlet and/or mist blower
outlet.
• Be careful not to block suction inlet or
mist blower outlet with dust or dirt when
operating in dusty area.
Do not use nozzles other than the nozzles
•
provided by Makita.
12. Do not operate the machine near open window,
etc.
13. Operating the machine only at reasonable hours
is recommended - not early in the morning or
late at night when people might be disturbed.
14. If the machine strikes any foreign objects or
should start making any unusual noise or
vibration, immediately switch off the machine
to stop it. Remove the battery cartridges
from the machine and inspect the machine
for damage before restarting and operating
the machine. If the machine is damaged, ask
Makita Authorized Service Centers for repair.
15. Do not insert fingers or other objects into
suction inlet or mist blower outlet.
16. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before inserting
battery cartridges, picking up or carrying the
machine. Carrying the machine with your fin-
ger on the switch or energizing the machine
that has the switch on invites accidents.
17. Do not operate the machine near flammable
materials.
18. Avoid operating the machine for a long time in
low temperature environment.
19. Do not use the machine when there is a risk of
lightning.
20. When you use the machine on muddy ground,
wet slope, or slippery place, pay attention to
your footing.
21. Do not use the machine in bad weather where
visibility is limited. Failure to do so may cause
fall or incorrect operation due to low visibility.
22. Do not submerge the machine into a puddle.
23. Do not leave the machine unattended outdoors
in the rain.
24. Do not use the machine in the snow.
25. During operation, keep the cord away from
obstacles. The cord caught by obstacles may
cause serious injury.
26. Avoid working in freezing temperatures as the
liquid in the tank may freeze.
After operation
1. Always wash yourself thoroughly with soap
and water after spraying or handling chemi-
cals. Shower immediately, and wash all pro-
tective clothing separately from other items.
Follow any additional recommendations of the
chemical manufacturer.
2. Empty, rinse and clean the tank and strainer
after each use. This helps to prevent the
solution from crystallizing, which could later
cause clogging and chemical damage to the
machine. In addition, residual chemicals may
have undesirable effects during subsequent
spraying with a different type of chemical (e.g.,
residual herbicide may damage or kill plants
being sprayed with a pesticide).
Do not store the machine with spray solution
3.
in the tank.
Maintenance and storage
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure
1.
the machine is in safe working condition.
If the parts are worn or damaged, replace them
2.
with parts provided by Makita.
