Most of the fire extinguisher is having a seal
or locking pin at the top which is lever or
handle which keeps the handle from being pressed
accidentally. In order to use the fire

Using your Portable Fire Extinguisher
Starts to aim the nozzle or outlet low towards
the base of fire. Dont ever try to aim at the
flames else the extinguishing agent will be
ineffective as it will flow right through the
flames. It will be more effective only when it
hits the base of the fire. Dont forget to read
the instructions mentioned on the manual for more
clarity.
Aim Low

You will find it easy to discharge the
extinguishing agent by squeezing the lever. To
stop the same just release the lever to original
form. There are some models of fire extinguisher
where you may find a button instead of the
lever. We must prevent and stop unwanted fires
that destroy lives and property. In order to
achieve this goal all persons must cooperate and
take the time to put waste paper in the
appropriate containers. And don't allow trash,
such as oily rags or paper to accumulate. We must
be careful about the ways we use things that
could cause unwanted fires.
