INTENDED USE
This sprayer is designed for spraying home and garden chemicals, such as insecticides,
fertilizers and weed killers etc. It is designed for domestic use only. It is not designed for
commercial or trade use.
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
IMPORTANT! Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specications
provided with this power tool. Failure to following
the warnings and instructions may result in an
electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference!
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
5.1 Work area safety
a). Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas can cause accidents.
b). Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c). Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
5.2Electrical safety
a). Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never

7
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
b). Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c). Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d). Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
e). When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f). If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
5.3 Personal safety
a). Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattentionwhile operating power tools may
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

8
result in serious personal injury.
b). Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c). Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the
switch or energising power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
d). Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
e). Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
f). Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
g). If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h). Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless action can cause
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
5.4 Power tool use and care
a). Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b). Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
c). Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d). Store idle power tools out of reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the power. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e). Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f). Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.

10
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
g). Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the works
to be performed. Use the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in hazardous
situations.
h). Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handle and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
i). Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the fastener
may contact hidden wire. Fasteners contacting
a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give an electric shock.
5.5 Battery tool use and care
a). Recharge only with the charger specied by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of re when used
with another battery pack.
b). Use power tools only with specically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and re.
c). When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a re.

11
d). Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
e). Do not use a battery pad or tool that is damaged or
modied. Damage or modied batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in re, explosion or
risk of injury. General power tool safety warnings
f). Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re
or excessive temperature. Exposure to re or
temperature above 130°C may cause explosion.
g). Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specied in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperature outside the specied
range may damage the battery and increase the risk of
re.
5.6 Service
a). Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
b). Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the

skin contact.
• In case of skin or eye contact, immediately rinse
with water.
• Neutralise with a mid acid such as lemon juice or
vinegar.
• In case of eye contact, rinse abundantly with
clean water for at lease 10 minutes. Consult a
physician.
