Safety
Information to the user
The OLP40 is supplied with two non-rechargeable ½AA lithium-
thionyl chloride batteries: Refer to the OLP40 optical lathe probe
installation guide (Renishaw part no. H-5625-8504). Lithium batteries
must be approved to BS EN 62133:2013 (IEC 62133:2012). Once the
charge in the batteries is depleted, do not attempt to recharge them.
The use of this symbol on the batteries, packaging or
accompanying documents indicates that used batteries should
not be mixed with general household waste. Dispose of the used
batteries at a designated collection point. This will prevent potential
negative effects on the environment and human health which could
otherwise arise from inappropriate waste handling. Contact your
local authority or waste disposal service concerning the separate
collection and disposal of batteries. All lithium and rechargeable
batteries must be fully discharged or protected from short circuiting
prior to disposal.
Ensure replacement batteries are of the correct type and are fitted
in accordance with the instructions in the installation guide; refer
to the OLP40 optical lathe probe installation guide (Renishaw
part no. H-5625-8504) for further information. For specific battery
operating, safety and disposal guidelines, refer to the battery
manufacturer's literature.
• Ensure that all batteries are always inserted with the correct
polarity.
• Do not store batteries in direct sunlight or rain.
• Do not expose to heat or dispose of the batteries in a fire.
• Avoid forced discharge of the battery.
• Do not short-circuit the batteries.
• Do not disassemble, pierce, deform or apply excessive
pressure to the batteries.
• Do not swallow the batteries.
• Keep the batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not allow batteries to get wet.
• Do not mix new and used batteries or battery types, as this will
result in reduced life and damage to the batteries.
• If a battery is damaged, exercise caution when handling to
avoid contact with electrolyte.
Ensure that you comply with international and national battery
transport regulations when transporting batteries or the products.
NOTE: Lithium batteries are classified as dangerous goods and
strict controls apply to their shipment by air. To reduce the risk of
shipment delays, if you need to return the OLP40 to Renishaw for
any reason, do not return any batteries.
