DISPOSING OF TOOL

A Ni-Cd battery is built into the handle of the tool. Always remove it before disposing of the tool.

Removing built-in battery

CAUTION:

•Never remove the built-in battery from the tool except when disposing of the tool. The battery will be damaged or a battery short-circuit could result.

To remove the cover, push it in the direction of the arrow while pressing down on the “OPEN” portion of the cover.

Withdraw the built-in battery halfway. Disconnect the two lead wires from the battery by pulling them from the battery terminals. Then withdraw the battery completely.

To prevent a battery short-circuit, tape the battery terminals or put the battery into a plastics bag. (Note: Never put two or more batteries into one plastics bag. Battery short-circuit may result.)

CAUTION:

•Never incinerate the battery even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. It can explode in a fire or toxic materials can leak out of it.
