4.6 Safe handling of spraying agents


Avoid contaminating the environment, the mains water supply and/or public sewer systems with
spraying agent or cleaner!
Ensure to avoid contamination when mixing, filling, using, draining, cleaning, servicing and transporting
by using adequate procedures and suitable containers.

Spraying agents and cleaners must never be allowed to enter the mains water supply – not even by
back-suction when filling, public sewer systems, sprayed onto wastelands, allowed to drain into natural
bodies of water or disposed of together with normal domestic waste. This also means that appropriate
care must be taken during filling to ensure that none of the spraying agent is drawn back into water
pipes. Spraying agents and cleaners and any unused leftovers of spraying agents and cleaners must
always be collected in a suitable container and disposed of via approved facilities for household
chemical waste. Please contact your local authorities for information about your nearest disposal
facilities.

Avoid any direct contact with spraying agents. In case of contact with harmful pesticides rinse the
affected body parts immediately with plenty of water, any clothing soaked with spraying agents should
be changed immediately, seek medical advice if needed.

Stop working immediately if you start to feel unwell while working, or if you become unusually tired.
Seek medical advice if the condition persists.

Never allow children or anybody who is not familiar with handling this type of spraying agent to handle
the spraying agent.

Clean the spraying agent tank and all other spraying agent carrying parts whenever the spraying agent
is changed. To flush out any residue from the agent tank and the hose, run the device with clean water
after cleaning the spraying agent tank and before the next spraying agent is filled in. This will prevent
the risk of any chemical reactions taking place between the different substances.

Never use the device in narrow or enclosed spaces – spraying agents are toxic and there is a risk of
poisoning. Spraying equipment must for example only be used in greenhouses if adequate ventilation
is provided. Signs must be put up in greenhouses that have been treated. Nobody should enter the
greenhouse again until it has been thoroughly ventilated.

When you have finished working, prepare the device for storage according to section 12, thoroughly
wash your face and hands with soap, take off your work clothing and ensure that it is washed regularly.
Any unused spraying agent that is left over in the device could cause corrosion and hence damage the
device. Special attention must be paid to wearing parts like hoses, filters and seals.

4.7 Protection of Environment

Be aware of your surroundings!

Watch out for persons and animals which may be within your work area

Be aware that noise is harmful to the environment. Inquire about and respect possible local rest
periods.

Avoid contaminating the environment, the mains water supply and/or public sewer systems with
spraying agent, cleaner, fuel and oil! Ensure to avoid contamination when mixing, filling, using,
draining, mixing and filling-in the fuel mixture, cleaning, servicing and transporting by using adequate
procedures and suitable containers.

When applying spraying agent, ensure by using appropriate measures and procedures that the
unintended release of agent to other areas is minimized and the drift to the surrounding areas is
prevented.
