OPERATION SPRAYING HOME-AND-GARDEN CHEMICALS See Figures 10 - 11.  Install the battery pack into the tool.  Depress the ON/OFF button to start the motor.  The sprayer may be operated with the handle resting in the handle storage area as shown in figure 10, or you may remove and hold the handle as shown in figure 11.  Aim the sprayer nozzle directly at the plants or objects you wish to spray. NOTE: Make sure to stand far enough from the object being sprayed to prevent the spray from splashing back onto you.  Depress the trigger to start the spray.  Release the trigger to stop the spray.  Always empty, clean, and drain the tank after every use as directed in the Maintenance section.  Thoroughly clean the chemical sprayer before storing or before switching to a different chemical. See Cleaning the Unit later in this manual.  When you are finished with the sprayer, thoroughly wash your hands and any area where skin has been exposed to the spray. OPERATING TIPS  Never point the spray end of the wand at yourself or others.  Avoid spraying on windy days. Spray can be accidentally blown onto plants or objects that should not be sprayed.  Never spray in the direction of people or animals; always spray downwind.  Especially in warmer weather, spray in the early morning or late afternoon. Excessive heat can evaporate the spray before it settles.  Never smoke, eat, or drink while operating the sprayer. MAINTENANCE WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the battery pack from the tool when cleaning or performing any maintenance.
