Disposal
36
Batteries and rechargeable batteries do not belong in the
household waste!
As the end user you should dispose of all batteries
and rechargeable batteries, regardless of whether
they contain harmful substances* or not, via a
collection point run by your Local Authority, or to a
participating retailer, so that they can be disposed of
in an environmentally friendly manner.
Bring the screwdriver (including the rechargeable battery) to
your collection point and make sure that it is in an uncharged
state!
* labelled with: Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury, Pb = lead
Removing the battery
1. Let the power tool run until the battery is fully discharged.
2. Loosen and remove the screws on the housing and
remove the housing cover.
3. Disconnect the connectors on the battery one at time to
prevent short circuits.
4. Remove the rechargeable battery.
5. Insulate the contacts.
Even when the battery appears to be fully discharged, it still
contains some residual charge that can be released by a
short circuit.
