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.
