8. Prevent the lithium-ion battery pack from freezing.
Battery packs which were stored below 0°C for
more than 60 minutes must be disposed of.

of the electronic protection system and the
battery cells. Avoid electrostatic charging and
never touch the battery poles.
Rechargeable batteries and cordless electric
machines and tools contain materials that are
potentially harmful to the environment. Never place
any cordless electric machines or tools in your
household refuse. When cordless electric machines
or tools become defective or worn, remove the
rechargeable batteries and return them to iSC GmbH
(address: Eschenstrasse 6, D-94405, Germany). If
the rechargeable batteries cannot be removed, return
the complete cordless machine or tool.
You can then be sure that the equipment will be
correctly disposed of by the manufacturer.
When shipping or disposing of batteries and
cordless tools, always ensure that they are
packed individually in plastic bags to prevent
short circuits and fires.
