FIRE EXTINGUISHER OPERATION
WARNING
Fire extinguisher contents are under pressure. Do not puncture or incinerate.
DO NOT store at high temperatures above 120F (49C).
Avoid inhaling the extinguishing agent. Avoid inhaling smoke and fumes - all fires release
toxic substances that are harmful. DO NOT remain in a closed area after use. Evacuate
the area immediately and ventilate thoroughly before re-entering.
Although extinguishing agents are non-toxic when properly used, contact with them may
cause irritation to eyes, nose, and throat and other allergic symptoms.
Failure to comply with the above warnings could result in injury or death to personnel or
damage to equipment.
NOTE
This fire extinguisher can be used on trash, wood, paper, flammable liquids, and electrical
equipment.
