General Operation Safety
Read these safety instructions before use.
Operation
Check the battery pack for damage before every use. Do not use damaged devices.
The battery voltage must match the voltage mentioned on the type plate of the charger and tool.
Use only the battery with the compatible equipment defined in the Safety Information. Use of any other equipment increases the risk of injury and fire.
Do not incinerate, disassemble or crush the battery pack.
Use batteries only in dry, clean areas free from excessive dust and explosive atmospheres.
Do not use the battery as a counter support to absorb the tool reaction force during tightening.
Avoid contact with fluids oozing out of defective battery packs. Rinse with water in case of accidental contact with fluid. Consult a doctor if fluid comes into contact with eyes.
Charging
Only use chargers specified under Battery Charger Data, in the Safety Information. Charging the battery on a not approved charger is considered as altering the system and will make the tool certification invalid.
Battery chargers must be used indoors.
Do not charge the battery outside the temperature range specified in the Battery Charger Data.
Insert only clean and dry battery packs into the battery holder of the charger.
If a protective cover is used on the battery, make sure the cover is removed and look for potential damage before charging.
Check for damage on the battery before charging. Do not charge any battery pack that has been damaged during use or by accident (e.g. dents on the housing or any other damages). Recycle all damaged battery packs.
We recommend users to remove the battery from the charger once fully charged.
Do not operate the charger close to an explosive environment, for example close to a gas filling station.
We recommend users to operate the charger in a defined protected and secure area (e.g. in ventilated charging cabinets or under supervision).
Make sure the charger is stable when charging, to ensure that the batteries do not fall to the floor.
If you identify noise or extensive heat from a battery:
If charging, unplug the charger. Do not remove the battery.
Step away from the battery.
Leave the battery for 12 hours.
Contact your Atlas Copco representative.
Storage
Store batteries and chargers in a dry place, and keep dry at all times.
Avoid storing batteries fully charged.
Do not store your battery connected to the power tool for longer periods
Maintenance charge batteries in storage, preferably every 12 months.
Disposal
Do not dispose of battery packs by throwing them into fire or through household waste.
