2. Safety
DANGER!
Danger of death caused by electric current
Upon contact with live parts, there is a direct danger of death.
■
Recharging using a defective power supply unit (e.g. short circuit
between the mains voltage and the output voltage) can result in life-
threatening voltages at the precision hand-held pressure indicator!
■
Only use the mains connector permitted by WIKA for the precision
hand-held pressure indicator.
■
Never use a damaged or worn-looking battery charger.
The safety of the operator may be endangered if, for example:
■
there is visible damage to the instrument.
■
the instrument is not working as specied.
■
the instrument has been stored under unsuitable conditions for an extended period of
time.
If there is any doubt, please return the instrument to the manufacturer for repair or mainte-
nance.
2.4 Use of Lithium-Ion rechargeable batteries

Misusing Lithium-Ion batteries can lead to heating, explosion or ignition
and result in serious injury. Follow the safety instructions listed below:
■
Do not solder directly to the Lithium-Ion batteries.
■
Do not incinerate or heat the Lithium-Ion batteries.
■
The Lithium-Ion batteries must only ever be connected with the
correct polarity.
■
Never connect the positive terminal and the negative terminal of the
Lithium-Ion batteries to each other with any metallic object (such as
wire).
■
Never carry or store the Lithium-Ion batteries together with necklac-
es, hairpins, or other metallic objects.
WARNING!
■
Lithium-Ion batteries should never be punctured with nails nor hit with
