Battery Removal & Disposal
Note:
If uncertain as to how to remove your battery pack, we suggest you take your
sweeper to a reputable small appliance service technician to have this service
performed.
Follow the steps in “Removal of Battery Pack” when battery removal is required.
This sweeper is equipped with Ni-Cd batteries and you need to dispose of them
properly. When the batteries are no longer good for use, they must be removed from
the sweeper for disposal. Do not remove the batteries for any reason other than
disposal of them. Call your nearest recycling center for information on the
recycling and disposal of
Ni-Cd batteries.
Warning: You must never use ordinary batteries for replacement as these may leak
