• Do not mount the extinguisher on drywall or plaster without adequate support. Use strong screws or bolts to mount the bracket securely into solid wood or metal that can support it, like a wooden partition stud. Secure mounting is needed so you can remove the extinguisher quickly and easily in an emergency. Also, if the extinguisher is not held securely, it could drop to the floor and injure people or damage the extinguisher • DO NOT BREAK THE SAFETY SEAL! This seal prevents accidental discharge of the fire extinguisher. Break the seal only in an emergency before using the fire extinguisher. • DO NOT CHECK THE PRESSURE OR TEST THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER BY SQUEEZING THE TRIGGER, EVEN BRIEFLY. ONCE USED, IT WILL GRADUALLY LOSE PRESSURE AND WILL NOT BE FULLY CHARGED FOR USE IN AN EMERGENCY. • When the pointer drops into the red area, the extinguisher may still be pressurized. You must discharge the unit completely before disposing of it!

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 the inspection has been completed. • Make sure your extinguisher may be safely and effectively used on the small fire you want to fight. Always use extreme caution when fighting any fire. Fight a fire only where there is a clear escape path to allow you to get out safely if the fire gets worse. • Avoid breathing smoke and heated fumes; stay low if necessary. Burning materials will release toxic fumes. Inhaling these fumes may cause injury or death. • Always stand back far enough away from the fire—near an exit—and make sure nothing is between you and your escape route. If you get too close to a fire, you risk getting burned or hit by splattering material like grease. If the fire is too hot or smoky for you to get within 6 feet (2 meters), DO NOT try to fight the fire your...
