Opening the tool or tampering with or breaking the seal placed on the tool will invalidate the
warranty.
3.4.5. Safety instructions for Li-Po battery use
The tool must be placed on a non-flammable surface during charging (ceramic tray or metal box).
Only charge the Li-Po battery WITH the specific charger provided.
If the battery begins to overheat more than 60°C (140°F), STOP CHARGING IMMEDIATELY. The battery
must NEVER exceed 60°C (140°F) during the charging process.
NEVER charge a battery pack immediately after use and while it is still hot. Let it cool down to room
temperature.
If you see any smoke or liquid coming out of the battery, stop charging immediately. Disconnect the battery
from the charger and place the battery in an isolated area for at least 15 minutes. STOP USING THE
BATTERY, and return the device to your dealer.
Always keep a fire extinguisher for electrical fires within reach while charging the battery. In the unlikely
event that the Li-Po battery catches fire, DO NOT use water to extinguish the fire, use sand or the
extinguisher described above.
The parts of a Li-Po battery must be neutralized out of use. The neutralization procedure must be carried out
within very strict safety parameters. You are recommended to contact a specialist in this battery type to carry
out this process. They will have the out-of-use battery collected by a specialized recycling organization.
Alternatively, contact your dealer.
Do not dispose of Li-Po batteries with household waste.
To avoid leaks or other hazards, do not store batteries above 60°C. Never leave the battery inside a car (for
example) where the temperature could be very high or in a place where the temperature might exceed 60°C.
Store the battery in a dry place to avoid contact with any type of liquid. Store the battery only on a non-
flammable surface that is heat resistant and non-conductive, and away from any flammable materials or
sources.
A Li-Po battery must be stored with a minimum charge of 30%. If you store the battery completely
discharged, it will quickly become unusable. If it has to be stored for a long period (over 6 months),
remember to recharge it regularly (to more than 30%).
If you do not follow these safety instructions, you risk causing serious damage to people or property, and you
even risk causing a fire!
ATEQ accepts no responsibility in the event of damage arising as a result of non-compliance with these
safety instructions.
Since use of a Li-Po battery entails significant fire risks capable of causing serious damage to people and
property, the user agrees to accept the risks and the responsibility involved.
Since ATEQ cannot control correct use of the battery (charging, discharging, storage, etc.), it cannot be held
responsible for damage caused to people or property.
