2.2
Disposal of old equipment according to WEEE
Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG)
This Act sets out requirements for electrical and electronic equipment pursuant to
directive 2002 / 96 / EG issued by the European Parliament and the European Council of
2005-05-03. Its main purpose is to prevent waste from electrical and electronic equipment
and to promote reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery to reduce both the volume
of waste for disposal and the inclusion in waste of harmful substances from electrical and
electronic equipment.
For detailed information on professional disposal of disused old devices please
contact your dealer or Heraeus Kulzer subsidiary directly in your country.
NOTE!
IMPORTANT!
Marked equipment must not be brought to local waste disposal centres!
2.3
Transport damage
The unit is sensitive to shock, because it contains electrical components. Particular care
must therefore be taken during transportation as well as storage. The equipment shipped
by Heraeus Kulzer was checked thoroughly prior to shipment. The unit is correctly protected
and packed when delivered.
Check the unit for damage after receiving it. If it is damaged, report this to the transportation
company within 24 hours of delivery. Under no circumstances, install or work with a dama-
ged unit.
2.4
Owner's obligations
In addition to complying with the statutory regulations specifi ed, the owner must ensure that
statutory requirements are observed and implemented in the workplace, i.e. he must train
his personnel and comply with industrial safety legislation and all further valid regulations
or laws in force.
For work on and with the unit, written instructions in an understandable form and in the
relevant language of the respective employees must be provided by the owner using the
operating instructions and on the basis of the work to be carried out.
2.5
Machine journal
We recommend that you keep a "machine journal" and document all tests, and major work
(e.g. servicing, changes) in it.
