FOR RECYCLING
WARNING:
Upon removal, cover the battery pack’s terminals
with heavy-duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to
destroy or disassemble battery pack or remove
any of its components. Lithium-ion and nickel-
cadmium batteries must be recycled or disposed
of properly. Also, never touch both terminals with

may result. Keep away from children. Failure to
comply with these warnings could result in fire
and/or serious injury.
