Intended use
3. Personal safety
Your Black & Decker sprayer has been designed to spray a
range of water based lawn and garden chemicals such as
insecticides, fungicides, weed killers and fertilizers. This
product is intended for consumer use only.
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 the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or plugging in 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.
General safety rules
Warning!
u Read all instructions including Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS), and container labels provided with the
chemicals.
u Read all safety warnings designated by the m symbol,
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), container labels
provided with the chemicals and all instructions.
u Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed
below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool
or battery operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
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.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark
areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of these devices can
reduce dust related hazards.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
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.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified 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.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source 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 the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. 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.
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.

g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in
accordance with these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of power tool, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Additional safety instructions for sprayers
The following warning symbols are found on the appliance:
R
Do not expose the appliance to rain or high humidity.
Read the manual prior to operation.
Do not dispose of in fire.
5. Battery tool use and care
:
o
a. Ensure the switch is in the off position before
inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
b. Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
c. Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
K
O
6
Keep bystanders away.
d. 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 fire.
e. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
Wear safety glasses or goggles when operating this tool.
Wear a respirator or mask.
Use only non-flammable liquids.
Warning!
u Before using any pesticide or other spray materials in this
sprayer, read the label on its original container thoroughly
and follow its directions. Some spray materials are dangerous
and should not be used in this sprayer as they can damage the
sprayer and cause serious bodily injury or property damage.
u Before any use, be sure anyone using this sprayer reads and
understands all safety instructions and other information
contained in this manual.
6. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional safety instructions
Warning!
u Do not operate gardening appliances in gaseous or explosive
atmospheres. Motors in these appliances normally spark
and sparks might ignite fumes.
u Do not use commercials grade chemicals or for commercial
or industrial purposes. Use only consumer grade water-based
lawn and garden chemicals.
u Do not use caustic (alkali) self heating or corrosive (acid)
liquids in this sprayer as these can corrode metal parts or
weaken hose and seals.

governing ventilation, fire prevention and operation.
u Keep sprayer out of reach of children.
u Hearing protection is recommended for extended use.
u Use eye protection to keep particles out of eyes.
u Do not use hot or boiling liquids in sprayer as this may
weaken tank and hose.
Hazardous vapours
Insecticides and other materials may be harmful if inhaled
causing severe nausea, fainting or poisoning.
a. Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance that
vapours may be inhaled. Read all instructions with the
spray material and mask to ensure that it will provide the
necessary protection against the inhalation of harmful
vapours.
u Do not leave residue or spray material in the tank after
using sprayer.
u Do not smoke while spraying or spray where spark of
flame is present.
u Do thoroughly inspect both inside and outside of sprayer

Additional safety instructions for batteries and
chargers
Batteries
Personal safety
u Never attempt to open for any reason.
u Do not expose the battery to water.
u Do not store in locations where the temperature may
exceed 40 °C.
u Charge only at ambient temperatures between 10 °C and
40 °C.
u Charge only using the charger provided with the tool.
u When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given
in the section "Protecting the environment".

hands and other body parts away from the discharge.
In case of skin injection, seek medical attention
immediately. The sprayed material may pierce the skin
and be injected to your body.
c. Do not treat injection as a simple cut. Spray is able to
inject toxins into the body and cause serious bodily injury.
In the event that injection occurs, seek medical attention
immediately.
d. Beware of any hazards presented by the material
being sprayed. Consult the markings on the container
or the information supplied by the manufacturer of the
material to be sprayed, including requirements for the
use of personal protective equipment. Manufacturer's
instructions must be followed to reduce the risk of fire and
personal injury, derived from toxins, carcinogens, etc.
