legally obliged to recycle electrical and
electronic equipment in an environmentally
sound manner at the end of its life. In this

Depending on implementation in national
law, you may have the following options:

• Hand over to an offi cial collection point,
• Return to the manufacturer/distributor.
This does not affect accessories enclosed
with the old devices or tools without any
electrical components.
Dispose of the batteries according to local
standards. Defective or used batteries must
be recycled in accordance with Directive
2006/66/EC. Hand in the batteries at a
used battery collection point where they
are recycled in an environmentally friendly

provider or our service centre.
Dispose of batteries in a discharged state.
We recommend covering the contacts with
an adhesive strip to protect against short
circuits. Do not open the battery.
