1. Where to Use Your GARDENA Pressure Sprayer

The GARDENA Pressure Sprayer is intended for distributing

Intended purpose

solvent-free liquid pesticides

cleaners

It must not be used in public places, parks, sport arenas, or in

agriculture or forestry.

Compliance with the operating instructions provided by the manu-

facturer is a prerequisite for using the Pressure Sprayer correctly.

1) In accordance with the laws governing the use of pesticides and detergents,

only authorised substances may be used (authorised specialist shop).

Caution !

Due of the risk of physical injury, the GARDENA Pressure

Sprayer must not be used for spraying substances other

than those specified by GARDENA. Do not use your Pres-

sure Sprayer for spraying acids, disinfectants or water-

proofing agents.

We recommend that you only use pesticides approved by the

BBA (German Federal Biological Research Centre for Agriculture

and Forestry). To our knowledge at the time of manufacturing

the unit, the pesticides approved by the BBA will not damage the

materials used to construct the Pressure Sprayer.

When spraying insecticides, herbicides and fungicides or other

liquid plant protection products, you must comply with all special

precautionary measures specified by the manufacturer of the

product you are using.
