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.

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.

attached to a central water supply, be sure the
end of the hose is out of the solution to reduce
the risk of backflow.

tion so that it is used up at one time, with no
extra solution left over in the tank.
