USING CHEMICAL PRODUCTS

All pesticides or herbicides can be dangerous to humans and the environment
if used erroneously or inadvertently.
Therefore we recommend that only suitably trained persons should use these
products (license) and in any case only after having carefully read the
instructions on the container.

2.3.1 REGULATIONS FOR THE USE OF CHEMICAL PRODUCTS

Some recommendations for avoiding damage and accidents:

=

Keep the machine in a suitable, protected place with no access for

children or strangers
=

Handle the products with care, wearing rubber acid-proof gloves, goggles-

face masks or filtering helmets, overalls made of water-repellent fabrics or
TIVEK and boots made of rubber or similar materials.
=

If chemical products or mixtures of product come into contact with the

eyes or are swallowed consult a doctor immediately, taking the label of the
product with you.
=

Wash all clothes that come into contact with the chemical, whether

diluted or undiluted, thoroughly before using them again.
=

Don’t smoke, drink or eat when preparing or spraying the mix or near or in

the fields treated.
=

DON’T ENTER THE TANK: the residues of a chemical product can cause

poisoning and suffocation.
=

When spraying, respect safe distances from residential areas, water

courses, roads, sports centres and public parks or paths.
=

Thoroughly wash the containers of plant protection products using the

relevant accessories, rinsing several times with clean water. The liquids used
for washing can be used for treatment.
=

Collect the washed containers and send them to the relevant collection

centres. Never dispose of them in the environment and don’t use them again
for any other purpose. It is good practice to knock a hole in the bottom of the
tins so they can’t be used again.
=

When you have finished spraying, wash the sprayer thoroughly, diluting

the residues with a quantity of water at least 10 times that of the residues,
spraying the resulting mix over the treated field.
