How to use: When extinguishing a fire, just lift or carry the fire extinguisher to the fire site. At about 5 meters away from the burning material, pull out the safety pin of the fire extinguisher, hold the handle at the root of the horn with one hand, and hold the handle of the opening and closing valve with the other hand. . For carbon dioxide fire extinguishers without a spray hose, the horn should be raised 70-90 degrees. When in use, do not directly grasp the outer wall of the loudspeaker or the metal connecting pipe to prevent frostbite. When extinguishing a fire, when the combustible liquid burns in a flowing state, the user sprays the jet of carbon dioxide fire extinguishing agent from near to far to the flame. If flammable liquid burns in the container, the user should lift the horn. Spray from the upper side of the container into the burning container. However, the carbon dioxide jet cannot directly impact the combustible liquid surface to prevent the combustible liquid from being flushed out of the container to expand the fire and cause difficulty in extinguishing the fire.
