Removal of built-in rechargeable battery
Removing the rechargeable battery
- This symbol means that electrical products and
batteries shall not be disposed of with normal
household waste.
- Follow your country's rules for the separate
collection of electrical products and batteries.
The built-in rechargeable battery must only be
removed by a qualified professional when the
appliance is discarded. Before removing the battery,
make sure that the battery is completely empty.
Take any necessary safety precautions when you
handle tools to open the appliance and when you
dispose of the rechargeable battery. Be sure to
protect your eyes, hands, fingers, and the surface
on which you work.
When you handle batteries, make sure that your
hands, the product and the batteries are dry.
To avoid accidental short-circuiting of batteries
after removal, do not let battery terminals come
into contact with metal objects (e.g. coins,
hairpins, rings). Do not wrap batteries in
aluminum foil. Tape battery terminals or put
batteries in a plastic bag before you discard
them.
Incorrectly discarding batteries may bring
risk/damages to human health and environment.
To remove the rechargeable battery, you need a towel
or cloth, a hammer and a flat-head (standard)
screwdriver.
