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
guide lines. 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.
OPERATION
 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 bat-
tery 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 transport-
ing 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.
