Battery Care

be sure to fully charge it prior to storage.
Do not expose the battery or appliance to excessive temperatures.
Disposal/Recycling
This product contains a rechargeable lithium ion battery. The battery is not
replaceable. At the end of product life, do not dispose of in household garbage or
recycling bins. Please recycle at your nearest recycling center or take to hazardous
waste collection point to comply with local and state regulations.
Please contact your local waste administrative department for any questions.
NOTE: The rechargeable battery is not replaceable, remove only at end of
product life. This process is not reversible and voids the product warranty.
Battery Removal
To remove the rechargeable battery for recycling, please discharge the battery fully
before removing.
Observe basic safety precautions when you follow the procedure below. Be sure to
protect your eyes, hands, fingers and surface on which you work.
1. Run down the battery by operating the BRUSH button until the motor does not run.
2. Obtain a towel or cloth, hammer, flat-head screwdriver, and wire cutters.
3. Remove and discard the brush head. Cover the handle entirely with the
towel or cloth.
4. Clamp the top of the handle against your work surface with one hand and strike
the handle housing around the bottom perimeter on all sides to release the end cap
latch. Continue striking and rotating the handle until the end cap releases.
5. Remove the internal components by turning the handle upside down, then
un-latch the plastic tabs and slide the chassis from the outer housing.
6. The internal components should slide out when the handle is positioned upside-
down. If this does not occur, repeat steps 5 and 6 until the components release.
7. Remove the battery from the chassis. Cut the battery wires one at a time
with the wire cutters.
8. Recycle and dispose of the battery properly. The remaining product pieces
should be discarded appropriately.
