Q
Removing the batteries
DANGER! RISK OF INJURY!
Only remove the recharge-
able batteries when they are completely flat: disconnect the
appliance from the power cable, switch it on and let it run
until the motor comes to a complete standstill.
Note:
After discharging, there is still some residual capacity in the
rechargeable batteries. Repeatedly switching it on and letting the
motor run will ensure the batteries become completely flat.
J
Before removing the rechargeable batteries, disconnect the epilator
from the mains supply and from the cable and make sure the
rechargeable batteries are completely flat.
J
Do not short-circuit the removed rechargeable batteries! They may
become very hot if they still contain some charge!
