Directive 2012/19/EU on waste
electrical and electronic equip-
ment:
Consumers are legally obliged to recycle
electrical and electronic equipment in
an environmentally sound manner at the
end of its life. In this way, environmentally
friendly and resource-saving recycling is
ensured.
Depending on the implementation in na-
tional law, you may have the following op-
tions:
• Return to a shop,
• Hand over to an official collection
point,
• Return to the manufacturer/distributor.
This does not affect accessories enclosed
with the old devices or tools without any
electrical components.
Disposal instructions for
rechargeable batteries
Do not throw batteries into domest-
ic waste, fire (risk of explosion)
or water. Damaged batteries can
harm the environment and your
health if poisonous fumes or liquids
escape.
Dispose of the batteries according to
local standards. Defective or used bat-
teries 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 manner. For
more information, please contact your
local waste management 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.
