Removing the rechargeable battery

The built-in rechargeable battery must only be removed by a qualified
professional when the appliance is discarded. Before removing the
battery, make sure that the appliance is disconnected from the wall socket
and that the battery is completely empty.
Take any necessary safety precautions when you handle tools to
open the appliance and when you dispose of the rechargeable
battery.
When you handle batteries, make sure that your hands, the product
and the batteries are dry.
To avoid accidental short-circuiting of batteries after removal, do
not let battery terminals come into contact with metal objects (e.g.
coins, hairpins, rings). Do not wrap batteries in aluminum foil. Tape
battery terminals or put batteries in a plastic bag before you
discard them.
To remove the rechargeable battery, you need a towel or cloth, a hammer
and a flat-head (standard) screwdriver. Observe basic safety precautions
when you follow the procedure outlined below. Be sure to protect your
eyes, hands, fingers, and the surface on which you work.
