26.1 Disposal of the Trimmer and Charger
WARNING
Even if believed to be discharged, the lithium ion battery
integrated into the trimmer may never totally discharge and
still may deliver a dangerous short circuit current. Handle a
discharged/depleted trimmer carefully. If damaged or
exposed to high temperatures, it may leak, generate heat,
catch fire or explode.
STIHL products must not be thrown in household trash or
disposed of except as provided in this manual.
► Take the trimmer to an authorized STIHL servicing dealer
to have its integrated battery removed and recycled.
► Take the charger, accessories and packaging to an
approved disposal site for environmentally friendly
recycling.
► Observe all federal, state and local disposal rules and
regulations.
► Contact your authorized STIHL servicing dealer for the
latest information on disposal and recycling.
STIHL is committed to the development of products
that are environmentally responsible. This
commitment does not stop when the product leaves
the authorized STIHL servicing dealer. STIHL has
partnered with the RBRC (Rechargeable Battery
Recycling Corporation) to promote the collection and
recycling of spent STIHL lithium ion batteries in the
United States and Canada.
The RBRC seal indicates that STIHL has prepaid for battery
recycling. RBRC has a toll free phone number (1-800-822-
8837) that connects you to information on battery recycling
locations and information on battery disposal bans or
restrictions in your area.
