OPERATION USING THE SPRAYER See Figure 10, page 14. DANGER: Improper application of chemicals or solutions can result in SEVERE INJURY or DEATH. Follow all CDC and EPA guidel­ines. Follow the chemical manufacturer's safety instructions and guidelines listed on the SDS sheet. WARNING: Risk of fire or explosion. Spray area must be well-­ ventilated and away from sparks or flames.  Turn electrostatic function off and remove the battery from the unit.  Remove the tank and unscrew the cap.  Carefully pour up to 1 L (33.8 oz.) of liquid into the tank.  Replace the cap.  Reinstall the tank and latch to secure. NOTE: Wipe the outside of the tank with a dry cloth and clean up any spills before installing the tank.  Install the battery pack.  Set the mode selector to PRIME.  Squeeze and hold the switch trigger while the unit primes. This may take several seconds. Continue holding the trigger until unit begins to spray. NOTE: Point the unit toward a sink or trash can. There will be a lot of fluid that exits the tool quickly. It will only take a couple of seconds for the unit to prime.  Rotate the mode selector to select one of the three SPRAY modes.  Direct the sprayer nozzle directly at the surface areas you wish to treat. NOTE: Make sure to stand far enough from the object being sprayed to prevent the spray from splashing back onto you. NOTE: Make sure you are using the right spray nozzle for the job.  Spray on a dry surface using long, even, overlapping strokes. NOTE: While the sprayer is in use some dripping from the nozzle may occur, this is to be expected.  Release the switch trigger to stop the spray.  When you are finished with the sprayer, remove the battery pack.  Remove the tank and unscrew the cap.  Return any unused fluid to its original container, and thoroughly clean the sprayer.  Thoroughly clean the sprayer and tank before transporting or storing the unit and before switching to a different chemical. See Cleaning the Unit later in this manual.  NOTE: Wipe the outside of the tank with a dry cloth and clean up any spills before inserting the tank.  Thoroughly wash your hands and any area where skin has been exposed to the spray. OPERATING TIPS  Never point the sprayer at yourself or others.  Avoid spraying in windy areas. 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.  Never smoke, eat, or drink while operating the sprayer.  Especially in warmer weather, use sprayer in the early morning or late afternoon. Excessive heat can evaporate the mist before it settles. 9 - English
