Makita PM7651H Original Instruction Manual page 5

Preparing chemicals
Prepare chemical solutions according to the chemical manufacturer's instructions.
●
Prepare solution only enough for the job at hand so that no solution is left over.
●
Mix chemicals only by following instructions – wrong mixtures can produce toxic
●
fumes or explosive mixtures.
Never spray undiluted chemicals.
●
Prepare solution and fill the container outdoors only in a well-ventilated place.
●
The operator should clarify the name of the chemical currently in use.
●
Storage
Do not store spray solution in the container for more than one day.
●
Always store and transport spray solution only in approved containers.
●
Never store or transport the spray solution in containers intended for foods, drinks
●
or animal feed.
Do not store or transport spray solution with foods, drinks or animal feed.
●
Keep spray solution out of the reach of children, other unauthorized people and
●
animals.
Store the spray solution in a locked place secured against unauthorized use.
●
Disposal
Never dispose of residual chemicals or contaminated rinsing solutions in waterways,
drains, sewers, street gutters, manholes or the like.
When disposing of contaminated rinse, observe all applicable laws, regulations and
ordinances.
Strictly observe the precautionary instructions of the chemical manufacturer.
Filling the container
Tighten all connections and check to be sure the pipes as well as a tube are
●
securely attached and in good condition. Keep the solution discharge lever closed.
Before using the mist blower with chemicals, fill it with fresh water to assure that
●
you have assembled it properly and practice spraying. Also, check for any leaks at
this time. When thoroughly familiar with the mist blower operation, follow normal
operating procedures.
Fill your mist blower in well-ventilated areas, outdoors.
●
Do not use:
●
flammables in the mist blower, which may cause explosion resulting in serious
–
or fatal injury;
caustic or corrosive materials in the mist blower, which could result in damage
–
to the unit;
liquids with a temperature above 50°C to reduce the risk of scalding and damage
–
to the unit.
To fill the solution tank, place the mist blower on a level surface, fill the solution
only in good light and visibility. To reduce the risk of contaminating the surrounding
environment, be careful not to overfill the solution tank with chemical solution.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not fill the mist blower while wearing it on your back.
If you fill the solution tank 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, i.e. the chemicals
being sucked into the water supply in the case of a sudden vacuum.
Calculate the correct amount of chemical solution so that it is used up at one time,
with no extra solution left over in the tank.
After filling, fit the solution tank cap and tighten it down firmly.
Check for leakage while refilling and during operation. A leak from the solution tank
●
or a loose fitting could soak your clothing and come into contact with your skin.
