5 Holding the handle upside down, press the
shaft down on a hard surface. If the internal
components do not easily release from the
housing, repeat step 3 until the internal
components are released.
6 Wedge the screwdriver between the battery
and the black frame at the bottom of the
internal components. Then pry the
screwdriver away from the battery to break
the bottom of the black frame.
7 Insert the screwdriver between the bottom
of the battery and the black frame to break
the metal tab connecting the battery to the
green printed circuit board. This will release
the bottom end of the battery from the
frame.
8 Grab the battery and pull it away from the
internal components to break the second
metal battery tab.
Caution: Be aware of the sharp edges of
the battery tabs so as to avoid injury to
your fingers.
9 Cover the battery contacts with tape to
prevent any electrical short from residual
battery charge. The rechargeable battery
can now be recycled and the rest of the
product discarded appropriately.
