Resumen del manual
• Fight the fire from an upwind direction with your back to any strong air current. Trying to fight a fire with currents blowing towards you can result in serious injury. TO FIGHT THE FIRE This unit will not operate when it is on the mounting device. The extinguisher must be removed from the mounting device or it cannot discharge its contents to fight a fire. Break Seal and Pull Out the Safety Pin Aim Nozzle atBase of Fire Press Lever To Discharge Powder 1. Lift the extinguisher off the mounting device and remove nozzle from the holding strap. If your fire extinguisher came with a metal bracket, unbuckle the metal strap to remove the extinguisher from the mounting device. 2. Hold the unit firmly in an upright position. Pull out the safety pin to break the safety seal or tamper indicator. Make sure the extinguisher nozzle faces away from you. 3. Stand back from the fire at least 10 feet (3 meters), and make sure the fire is not between you and your exit. 4. Hold the extinguisher upright and aim the nozzle at the base of the fire. 5. Press the lever to discharge the powder. 6. Sweep the spray at the base of the burning material, using quick side-to-side motions. (If the spray scatters the fire, move back.) 7. Move slowly towards the fire as the extinguisher spray pushes the fire back. Maintain a 10-foot (3 meter) distance between you and the front of the fire at all times. 8. Completely discharge the contents of the extinguisher and make sure the fire is completely out. Flashbacks are common with fires. 9. For kitchen fires on a kitchen stove, turn off the stove immediately if possible, otherwise as soon as it is safe. 10. If you suspect a fire had an electrical origin, shut off the electrical power, if possible, without eliminating your escape route. Do not touch electrical wires or appliances. 11. After you have completely discharged your extinguisher, leave the building and close all the doors behind you. AFTER THE FIRE IS EXTINGUISHED Do not turn the electrical power back on or plug in any appliances until the area has been cleaned up completely. It is very important to remove the powder from electrical equipment after a fire. If the powder gets wet, it can conduct electricity. (Using a dry chemical extinguisher on wet electrical equipment may be hazardous for this reason.) This may worsen an electrical leakage problem, impair the equipment’s insulation, or create an electrical shock hazard. Continued... • Shut off the electrical power, if possible--do not touch any electrical wires or appliances. • Leave the building and close all doors behind you. Call the Fire Department and have them inspect the entire house. As soon as they say it’s safe to return, ventilate the area thoroughly. • Have a licensed electrician inspect your electrical system. Do not turn the power back on or plug in any electrical equipment until the inspection has been completed. HOW TO CLEAN AFTER USING A FIRE EXTINGUISHER NOTE: The powder spray from the extinguisher may spread over a wide area, and may soil upholstery, carpets and walls. • Sweep/vacuum up as much of the powder as possible. Then use a damp cloth to wipe off the remaining agent. • If you have any questions about cleaning appliances that the agent has come into contact with, please contact the appliance manufacturer. IF YOUR EXTINGUISHER NEEDS SERVICE This fire extinguisher is rechargeable by a certified fire equipment dealer, regardless of how much of the content was used.

DISPOSING OF A USED EXTINGUISHER If you choose not to have a used extinguisher refilled or a non-working unit repaired, take it outdoors, turn it upside down, and discharge it completely.
