1. Safety Instructions
Important
All locally legislated rules with regard to installation, operation and maintenance must be observed
at all times.
Warning!
§ When using electrical equipment, basic precautions should always be taken, including the
following:
§ Read all instructions before you begin using the equipment.
§ Before operating the equipment, please make sure that the operating voltage (indicated on the
type plate on the base of the unit) is identical to the voltage of your local power supply.
§ When replacing the battery, always disconnect the equipment from the mains by unplugging it.
§ The unit is equipped with an internal fan to reduce the build-up of heat. However, the unit
should only be used in an area where there is adequate ventilation and it must be kept away
from sources of excessive heat (radiators or other equipment which produce heat).
§ Do not expose the unit to excessive moisture (dripping or splashing water), and do not use it
near water (near a wash basin or in a wet basement) or other liquids.
§ The equipment should not be subjected to continuous or excessive shocks or vibration.
§ For minimal electrical interference, use the equipment well away from possible sources of
electrical noise (arc-welding equipment, etc.).
§ There are no user-serviceable parts inside the unit. Under no circumstances should you open
or attempt to repair the unit. Doing so will invalidate all warranties. Refer all service needs to
your local Atlas Copco Tools service personnel.
Caution
Danger of explosion if a replacement battery is incorrectly connected. Replace only with the same or an
equivalent type of battery recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Discard used batteries
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
