• Use only batteries specifically designed
for your power tool. The use of other
batteries may cause injuries and fire risks.

2.6 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

• Comply with local regulations for the
disposal of packaging, deteriorated
parts or any elements with a strong
environmental impact; this waste must
not be disposed of with regular waste, but
must be separated and taken to collection
centres, which will recycle the materials.
• Comply with local regulations for
the disposal of waste materials
• When the machine is withdrawn from service,
do not dispose of it in the environment,
but take it to a waste disposal facility in
accordance with the local regulations in force.
Do not throw electrical equipment away
with domestic waste. According to the
European Directive 2012/19/EU on
electrical and electronic equipment
waste and its implementation in
compliance with national standards, old electrical
equipment must be collected separately, for eco-
compatible recycling. If electrical equipment is
disposed of in a landfill or in the ground, the
harmful substances can reach the water table
and enter the food chain, damaging your health
and well-being. For further information on the
disposal of this product, contact your dealer or a
domestic waste collection service.
At the end of their working life, dispose of
batteries paying due attention to the
environment. Batteries contain material
classified as hazardous for you and the
environment. They must be removed and
disposed of separately at a facility that accepts
lithium-ion batteries.
Separate waste collection of the products
and packaging used allows the materials
to be recycled and reused. Reuse of
recycled materials help to prevent
environmental pollution and reduces the
demand for raw materials.

2.7 RESIDUAL RISKS

Even when all safety rules are observed, there
may still be certain residual risks which cannot be
excluded. From the kind and construction of the
tool the foreseeable potential dangers can be:
• Hurled materials that may injure the eyes;
• Damage to hearing, if no protection
of the ears is carried.
