Battery Disposal

Nickel-Cadmium Batteries

If equipped with a nickel-cadmium battery, the bat- tery must be collected, recycled or disposed of in an environmentally sound manner.

“The EPA certified RBRC Battery Recycling Seal on the nickel-cad- mium (Ni-Cd) battery indicates Robert Bosch Tool Corporation is

voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle these batteries at the end of their useful

life, when taken out of service in the United States or Canada. The RBRC program provides a conve- nient alterative to placing used Ni-Cd batteries into the trash or the municipal waste stream, which may be illegal in your area.

Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on Ni- Cd battery recycling and disposal bans/restrictions in your area, or return your batteries to a Skil/Bosch/Dremel Service Center for recycling. Robert Bosch Tool Corporation’s involvement in this program is part of our commitment to pre- serving our environment and conserving our nat- ural resources.”

!Do not attempt to disassemble WARNING the battery or remove any com-

ponent projecting from the battery terminals. Fire or injury may result. Prior to disposal, protect exposed terminals with heavy insulating tape to pre- vent shorting.

Alkaline Batteries

Commercially available alkaline cells can be dis- posed of in a municipal solid waste stream.
