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:
•
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 heat 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. D
O
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 excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 2650
F
(1300C) may cause explosion.
•
DO NOT use or store the Battery 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 car-
rying 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.

in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside of the specified range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fire.
