Makita PM7651H Original Instruction Manual page 8

To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not direct air blast towards bystanders,
●
since the high pressure of the air flow could injure eyes and could blow small
objects at great speed (12).
Never spray in the direction of humans, animals or property which might be injured
●
or damaged by spraying (12).
Never insert any foreign object into the air intake of the machine or into the nozzle
●
of the mist blower. It will damage the fan wheel and may cause serious injury to
the operator or bystanders as a result of the object or broken parts being thrown
out at high speed.
Pay attention to the direction of the wind, i.e., do not work against the wind.
●
To reduce the risk of stumbling and loss of control, do not walk backward while
●
operating the machine.
Always shut off the engine before cleaning or servicing the unit or replacing parts.
●
Take a rest to prevent loss of control caused by fatigue. We recommend to take a
●
10 to 20-minute rest every hour.
It is recommended for using rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
●
Before blowing, slightly dampen surfaces in dusty conditions or use water mist
●
sprayer if necessary.
When blowing, adjust the length of the blower nozzle so that the stream can work
●
close to the ground.
After finishing work
Always wash yourself thoroughly with soap and water after spraying or handling
●
chemicals. Shower immediately, and wash all protective clothing separately from
other items.
Follow any additional recommendations of the chemical manufacturer.
Always clean dust and dirt off the mist blower.
Empty, rinse and clean solution tank and assembly after each use. This helps
●
to prevent the solution from crystallizing, which could later cause clogging and
chemical damage to the unit. 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 mist blower with spray solution in the solution tank.
Keep children, unconcerned people and pets away from areas that have just been
●
sprayed.
After the use of some chemicals, especially agricultural pesticides, a notice must
be posted on the treated area that a "Restricted Entry Interval" (REI) is in effect.
See the chemical product's label and any applicable governmental regulations.
Maintenance instructions
Perform cleaning and maintenance before storage.
●
Be kind to the environment. Operate the mist blower with as little noise and pollution
●
as possible. In particular check the correct adjustment of the carburetor.
Clean the mist blower at regular intervals and check that all screws and nuts are
●
securely tightened.
Never service or store the mist blower in the vicinity of open flames, sparks, etc.
●
(13).
Always store the mist blower in a well-ventilated locked room and with an emptied
●
fuel tank and the emptied solution tank.
Observe and follow all relevant accident prevention instructions issued by the trade associations and by insurance companies.
Do not perform any modifications to the mist blower as this will risk your safety.
The performance of maintenance or repair work by the user is limited to those activities as described in this instruction manual. All other work is
to be done by Authorized Service Agents.
Use only genuine spare parts and accessories supplied by MAKITA.
Use of non-approved accessories and machines means increased risk of accidents and injuries. MAKITA will not accept any liability for accidents
or damage caused by the use of any non-approved attachment or accessories.
