Battery Removal & Disposal

Note: If uncertain as to how to remove your battery pack, we suggest you take your sweeper to a reputable small appliance service technician to have this service performed.

Follow the steps in “Removal of Battery Pack” when battery removal is required.

This sweeper is equipped with Ni-Cd batteries and you need to dispose of them properly. When the batteries are no longer good for use, they must be removed from the sweeper for disposal. Do not remove the batteries for any reason other than disposal of them.

Call your nearest recycling center for information on the recycling and disposal of Ni-Cd batteries.
