Nickel-Cadmium Batteries
If equipped with a nickel-cadmium battery, the bat-
tery must be collected, recycled or disposed of in an
environmentally sound manner.
“The EPA certified RBRC Battery
Recycling Seal on the nickel-cad-
mium (Ni-Cd) battery indicates
Robert Bosch Tool Corporation is
voluntarily participating in an
industry program to collect and
recycle these batteries at the end of their useful
life, when taken out of service in the United States
or Canada. The RBRC program provides a conve-
nient alterative to placing used Ni-Cd batteries into
the trash or the municipal waste stream, which
may be illegal in your area.
Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on Ni-
Cd battery recycling and disposal bans/restrictions
in your area, or return your batteries to a
Skil/Bosch/Dremel Service Center for recycling.
Robert Bosch Tool Corporation’s involvement in
this program is part of our commitment to pre-
serving our environment and conserving our nat-
ural resources.”
Do not attempt to disassemble
the batter
y or remove any com-
ponent projecting from the battery terminals. Fire
or injur
y may result. Prior to disposal, protect
exposed terminals with heavy insulating tape to pre-
vent shorting.
Alkaline Batteries
Commercially available alkaline cells can be dis-
posed of in a municipal solid waste stream.
