Vibration Hazard

This appliance vibrates during use. Repeated or long‑term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:

1. Anyone using vibrating appliances regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this appliance. If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
4. Use appliances with the lowest vibration when there is a choice between different processes.
5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
6. Grip the appliance as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it). Let the appliance do the work.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain the appliance as explained in this manual. If any abnormal vibration occurs, stop use immediately.

   • Funnel in the neck of the Tank.
2. Fill the Tank with the desired chemical and water solution directly into the Tank (up to 1/2 Gallon / 2 liters), or you may use a premixed solution from a separate container. The chemical / water solution must meet the following conditions:
   • The chemical / water solution must be as thin as water; thicker solutions will not spray properly from the Fogger.
   • Do not overfill the Tank. The Fogger will not operate properly if the Tank is overfilled (do not exceed the max fill line.
3. Replace the Cap on the Tank and tighten it securely.
4. Reinstall the Battery Pack.

General Operation

WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
Follow all guidelines regarding chemicals sprayed, including MSDS instructions and EPA regulations. Risk of fire or explosion; the area to be fogged must be well-ventilated and free from sparks or flames.

1.  Before operating the gardening appliance, put on ANSi-approved safety goggles and other safety gear. Safety goggles and other safety gear are sold separately.
2. Slide the On / Off Switch to the ON position.
3. Point the Nozzle in the direction of the vegetation or objects you wish to fog, and depress the trigger to begin fogging.
   • Note: Hold the Fogger level. Do not tilt or hold the Fogger at an angle or it may spurt or stream liquid instead of fogging.
4. Use the Flow Control Knob to adjust and regulate the desired amount of fog coming from the nozzle

   • Smoke, eat, or drink while operating the Fogger.
   • Point the Fogger at people or animals. Always point the Fogger downwind.
   • Fog on windy days. The mist can be accidentally blown onto yourself, others, or vegetation and objects that should not be fogged.
   • Use the Fogger in warmer weather, as excessive heat can evaporate the mist before it settles. Use the Fogger in the early morning or late afternoon / evening to minimize loss.
6. When finished fogging:
   • Release the Trigger and slide the On / Off Switch to the OFF position.
   • Remove the Battery Pack.
   • Open the Cap on the Tank and drain the solution as described in the Maintenance and Service section on page 8. Dispose of chemicals properly according to manufacturer guidelines and all local, state, and federal regulations.
