ily accessible location for everyone
who uses, cleans, disinfects, steril-
izes, stores or transports the ma-
chine.
EWhen sharing your tattoo machine

EFollow the safety regulations applica-
ble to tattooing in your country. Keep
your tattoo studio in a hygienic, clean
condition and provide sufficient light-
ing.
EOnly ever use your tattoo machine
and its accessories in perfect techni-
cal condition.

2.2 General Safety Information on
Lithium-Ion Batteries
ERead and observe the safety informa-
tion and instructions in all of the op-
erating manuals for your machine.
Any failure to observe the safety in-
formation and instructions may result
in electric shock, a fire and/or cause
serious injuries.
EKeep all safety information and in-
structions for future use.
ETake the battery out of the machine
before transporting or storing it. If the
machine is unintentionally activated,
there is a risk of injury.
EProtect the battery from heat (such as
from continuous sun exposure), fire
and immersion into water. Do not
store or operate the battery near hot
or flammable objects. There is a risk
of explosion.
EAlways place the battery in the bat-
tery box when not in use in order to
protect it from external influences.
EWhen not in use, keep the battery
away from paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws or any other small
metal objects that cause the contacts
to be bridged.
EA short circuit between the battery
contacts may cause burns or result in
a fire.
EDo not place the charger and the bat-
tery near flammable materials. Only
charge the battery in dry state and at
a fireproof location. There is a risk of
fire due to the heat that builds up
while charging.
EThe battery must not be charged un-
supervised.
EFluid may leak from the battery if it is
improperly used. Avoid contact with
it. Rinse with water if you accidentally

irritations or burns.
EBatteries must not be exposed to me-
chanical impacts. There is a risk of
damaging the battery.

properly used, vapors may escape
from the battery. Introduce fresh air
and seek out a physician if you have
any physical symptoms. Vapors may
irritate the respiratory system.
EOnly use the original charger to
charge the battery. The risk of fire
cannot be excluded if you do not use
an original charger.
EOnly use the battery in connection
with original Cheyenne battery-driven
tattoo machines. Only this protects
the battery from a dangerous over-
load.
EOnly use the supplied battery type
