General Safety Precautions - Scanprobe Maxprobe User Manual

Warning: Explosion or Fire Risk
Misusing the battery may cause the battery to get hot, explode, or ignite and
cause serious injury. Do not place or dispose of the battery in fire or subject to
direct heat, such as on or near fires, stoves, microwave ovens, high-pressure
containers, or on induction cookware or other high-temperature locations. Do
not place the battery in direct sunshine or use or store the battery inside vehicles
in hot weather. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat, explode, or
ignite. Using the battery in this manner may also result in a loss of performance
and a shortened life expectancy.
Warning: Explosion or Fire Risk
Do not short-circuit the positive terminal and the negative terminal of the battery
to each other with any metal object (such as wire). This can also occur
accidentally, so do not carry or store the batteries together with necklaces,
hairpins, screws, nails, or other metal objects.
Warning: Explosion or Fire Risk
Do not pierce the battery, strike the battery with a hammer, step on the battery,
dismantle, modify, or otherwise subject the battery to strong impacts or shocks.
Warning: Explosion or Fire Risk
Do not expose the battery to water or salt water, or allow the battery to get wet.
Warning: Explosion or Fire Risk While Charging
Only use the charging equipment supplied with your Maxprobe system, or an
approved replacement obtained through Scanprobe Techniques Limited or an
authorised representative to charge your Maxprobe system. Do not attach the
batteries directly to a power supply plug or to a vehicle power supply. Do not
overcharge the battery, as doing so may cause the battery to become hot,
explode, or ignite.
Caution: Risk of Fire
Immediately discontinue use of the Maxprobe system if, while using, charging, or
storing the battery, the battery emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes colour,
changes shape, or appears abnormal in any other way. Contact Scanprobe or
your authorised representative if any of these problems are observed.
Caution: Risk of Damage to the Battery
Do not attempt to operate, store, or charge the system outside the recommended
temperature specifications. Exposing the battery to temperatures above 60⁰C
may activate safety systems and cause a permanent battery failure, while
exposing the battery to temperatures below -20°C may freeze the electrolyte,
also leading to permanent battery failure.

General Safety Precautions

Always stay vigilant while operating the Maxprobe System and remain aware of your
surroundings. Use the correct personal protective equipment, tools, warning signs and
barriers to ensure your own safety, and that of other people nearby.
