manual abstract
You won’t be able to squeeze the lever until the safety seal is removed. 3. Stand back 6 feet (2 meters) from the fire 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. Squeeze and hold 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 6-foot (2 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. If the fire was on a kitchen stove: • Make sure the oven and all burners are turned off. • Clean up the powder completely before using the stove or oven. See “How to Clean After Using a Fire Extinguisher”. Ventilate the area thoroughly. If you think the fire had an electrical origin: • 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 premises. 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 • 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. Once a year, a certified fire equipment dealer, in accordance with the service manual identified on the fire extinguisher label, should service the fire extinguisher.
