• Never spray ammable, caustic,
acidic, heat, pressure, or gas
producing chemicals.
• Always read and follow chemical
manufacturer’s instructions
before use with this mist blower as
some chemicals may be hazardous
when used with this mist blower.
• Never leave chemicals or solutions
sitting in your mist blower after

OPERATING
• Do not allow familiarity with
products to make you careless.
Remember that a single moment
of carelessness is sucient to
cause serious injury.
• Always wear eye protection
with side shields when handling
or operating this mist blower.
Failure to do so could result in
serious injury from chemical
contact or ying dirt or debris.
• The Lithium-ion battery pack can
be used in temperatures down
to 32ºF. When operating in cold
temperatures, put the battery
pack in the battery compartment
and use the mist blower in a light
duty application. After about
a minute the battery pack will
warm up and begin operating
normally.
• Always use the correct power
setting for your application.
Using the correct PSI and ow
rate will result in a safer and
more thorough treatment. For
calibration resources please
contact FlowZone® technical
support. (Note: Always refer to
local, state, and federal laws
and regulations regarding your
application.)
• Do not use the mist blower if the
power switch is not functioning
correctly. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
• Remove battery before making
any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the mist
blower. Disconnect the mist
blower from the power source by
removing the battery pack. These
preventative safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the
mist blower accidentally.
STORING
• Store mist blower out of reach of
children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate
the mist blower. Power tools
are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
• Maintain mist blowers and
accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that
may affect the mist blowers
operation.
SAFETY
• Use the mist blower and
accessories in accordance
with these instructions, taking
into consideration the working
conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of this mist
blower for applications that it was
not intended for could result in a
hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and lift points
dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery handles and
lift points do not allow for safe
handling and control of the mist
blower.
• Risk of re or explosion: Never
use this mist blower with liquids
such as gasoline, ethanol,
methanol, or any other ammable
or gas producing chemicals.
Do not use mist blower around
sparks, ame, or smoke. Failure

may cause ignition, resulting in
potential injury and damage to
property.
• To reduce the risk of re, personal
injury, and product damage from
a short circuit, never immerse
the mist blower, battery, or
charger in uids. Do not place
or store mist blower where it
could fall or be pulled into a tub
or sink. Corrosive or conductive
uids, such as seawater, certain
industrial chemicals, and bleach
or bleach containing products,
etc., can cause a short circuit.
• Electric shock hazard: Never
spray toward electrical outlets.
• Spray area must be well ventilated
to avoid hazardous fume build-
up. Always refer to the product
label of the chemical being used
for safety instructions and proper
use practices.
• Avoid spraying on windy days.
Spraying in windy conditions
could cause chemicals to be
blown onto persons, plants, or
objects that are not intended to

!THE BATTERY
These batteries have been designed
to provide maximum trouble-free life.
However, like all batteries, they will
eventually wear out. Do not disassemble
battery pack and attempt to replace the
batteries. Handling of these batteries
especially when wearing rings or jewelry
could result in serious burns.
• Recharge only with the charger
specied by FlowZone®. A charger
that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of re
when used with another batter pack.
• Only use mist blowers specically
designated with their designated
battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of
injury and re.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects,
like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects,
that can make a connection from
one terminal to another. Shorting
the battery terminals together may
cause burns or res.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid can
be ejected from the battery; avoid
contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, ush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, seek medical help.
• Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or mist
blower that is damaged or modied.
Damaged or modied batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in re, explosion or risk of
injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or
mist blower to re or excessive
temperature. Exposure to re or
temperature above 265˚F (130˚C)
may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions
and do not charge the battery
pack outside the temperature
range specied in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at a
temperature outside the specied
range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of re.
STORING BATTERY PACK
LONGER THAN 30 DAYS
• Store the battery pack where the
temperature is below 80˚F and
away from moisture.
• For long-term storage, regular
charging of the battery is required
to maximize battery life. Check the
battery level using the indicator
lights every 4 weeks. Recharge the
battery if it falls below 3 bars.
• Do not allow the battery to fully
discharge.
BATTERY RECYCLING
PREPARATION
• To preserve natural resources,
please recycle or dispose of the
batteries properly.
• This product contains Lithium-ion
batteries. Local, state or federal
laws may prohibit disposal of
lithium-ion batteries in ordinary
trash. Consult your local waste
authority for information regarding
available recycling and/or
disposal options.
LITHIUM-ION BATTERY
PACKS
• Lithium-ion batteries deliver
fade free power for their entire
run time. Lithium-ion batteries
will not gradually lose power due
to decreasing battery charge.
Instead, power form the battery
pack will drop from full to zero
once the full charge has been
drained from the battery. Once this
happens, recharging of the battery
is required.
BATTERY PACK
PROTECTION FEATURES
• Lithium-ion battery packs are
designed with features that
protect the lithium-ion cells and
maximize battery life. If the mist
blower stops during use, release
the trigger to reset and resume
operation. If the mist blower still
doesn’t work, the battery needs to
be recharged.
If after 2 hours during the charging
process, none of the LEDs are lit,
remove the battery pack from the
charger to avoid damaging the
product. DO NOT insert another
battery. Contact Customer Support
for instructions on replacing
the battery.

chemical residue build-up that can clog or damage internal and external
components. Leaving chemical liquids in the tank when not in use can
lead to premature wear and voiding of the warranty. Never store the
mist blower with chemical inside.
1. With the battery removed, dispose of extra product
based on the manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse out
any residual solution in the tank with warm soapy
water. Then, spray fresh water through the mist
