neoprene gloves to dispose of it. If skin is exposed to battery fluids, wash with soap and water
and rinse with vinegar. If eyes are exposed to battery chemicals, immediately flush with water

18. DISPOSING OF BATTERIES. Always dispose of Theragun PRO batteries according to federal,
state, and local regulations. Contact a recycling agency in your area for recycling locations. Even
discharged batteries contain some energy. Before disposing, use electrical tape to cover the
Theragun PRO’s 16V connector/terminals to prevent the battery from shorting, which could
cause a fire or explosion.
19. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE. Disassembly or incorrect reassembly may result in the risk of

the Theragun PRO, batteries, or charger where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink. Do not
place in or drop into water or other liquid. Do not reach for an appliance that has fallen into or

come into contact with water. Unplug immediately.
22. THERMAL LIMITER. The Theragun PRO has an automatic reset thermal limiter that shuts off
the Theragun PRO to prevent overheating and fire.
