1.0 Getting Started
when using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
WArNiNg: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
•
battery box securing straps must be secured around handle and attached from Vacuum prior to use. Failure to do so can
result in product damage.
•
only use with kaivac, inc. battery, obatt series, and charger, cHarg36V series.
•
when charging, make sure charger has at least 6 inches of clearance on all sides for adequate air flow.
•
dO NOT charge batteries outdoors.
•
do not attempt to repair, service or modify the batteries or charger. contact kaivac technical support with any issues.
•
do not short-circuit the battery or charger terminals with conductive items such as paper clips. this can deliver high current,
resulting in hear and fire.
•
Keep sparks and flames away from batteries.
•
do not crush, drop, incinerate or damage the battery box. do not use a battery box that has been damaged in any way.
dO not incinerate the battery even if it is non-working or severely damaged. the battery can explode in a fire.
•
do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessiver temperature. exposure to fire or temperature above 2650F
(1300c) may cause explosion.
•
do not use or store the omniFlex
TM
system or battery box in wet or moist conditions, or near flammable or combustible materials.
•
do not charge or store battery box for extended time (1 month or more) in temperatures below 400F (40c).
•
if fumes smelled from battery, discontinue use immediately, place inside a metal canister in a well-ventilated area.
•
prevent unintentional starting. ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to battery pack, picking up or
carrying the appliance. carrying the appliance with your finger on the switch, or energizing an appliance that has the switch
on invites accidents.
•
disconnect the battery pack from the appliance before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing appliance.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
•
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 a fire.
•
under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. if contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. if liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
•
do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified. damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredict-
able behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Charger/electrical Warnings:
•
For commercial or residential use.
•
connect charging cord to a properly grounded outlet only. see grounding instructions.
•
do not plug in charger while Vacuum Head is in on position. it may damage the system.
•
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature range specified in
the instructions. charging improperly or at temperatures outside of the specified range may damage the battery and increase
the risk of fire.
•
dO NOT leave charger plugged in when not in use.
•
dO NOT operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or damaged in any way.
•
dO NOT use charger if it has a damaged cord or plug
.
dO NOT carry charger by cord.
•
do not pull on charger cord to unplug. grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.
•
dO NOT handle charger, including charger plug and charger terminals, with wet hands while charger is plugged in or while
inserting plug into electrical outlet.
Vacuum and operation warnings:
•
no combustibles! sparks inside the motor can ignite flammable vapors or dust. do not use near combustible liquids and
gases, or to pick up explosive dusts or gasoline. do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking such as cigarettes or hot
ashes.
•
do not plug battery in while Vacuum motor is in on position. it may damage the system.
