Disposal of the appliance
A crossed-out wheelie bin icon means: Batteries and rechargeable batteries, electrical or electronic
devices must not be disposed of with household waste. They may contain substances that are harmful
to the environment and human health.
Consumers must dispose of waste electrical devices, spent portable batteries and rechargeable
batteries separately from household waste at an official collection point to ensure that these items are processed
correctly. Information on returning these items is available from the seller. Sellers are required to
accept these items free of charge. Batteries and rechargeable batteries, which are not permanently installed in
waste electrical devices, must be removed prior to disposal and must be disposed of separately. Lithium
batteries and battery packs in all systems must only be retuned to a collection point when discharged. Batteries
must always be protected against short circuits by covering the poles with adhesive tape.
All end users are responsible for deleting any personal data stored on waste devices prior to their disposal.
Disposal of an exhausted battery pack
To preserve natural resources, please recycle or dispose of the battery pack properly. This battery pack
contains Li-ion batteries. Consult your local waste authority for information regarding available recycling
Li-ion
and/or disposal options. Discharge your battery pack by operating your tool, then remove the battery
pack from the tool housing and cover the battery pack connections with heavy-duty adhesive tape to
prevent short circuit and energy discharge. Do not attempt to open or remove any of the components.
Disposal of the packaging
The packaging consists of cardboard and correspondingly marked plastics that can be recycled. Make
these materials available for recycling.
