Disposal

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. The product can be returned free of charge in accordance with the legal requirements, for example through a municipal waste disposal company or a dealer.
Batteries, rechargeable batteries and lamps that are not permanently installed in waste electrical equipment and can be removed in a non-destructive way must be removed and disposed of separately before disposal of the equipment. Lithium batteries and rechargeable battery packs of all systems are only to be handed in to the waste collection points in a discharged state. The batteries must always be protected against short circuits by taping off the poles.
All end users are responsible for deleting any personal data stored on waste devices prior to their disposal.

Disposal of the packaging

The packaging consists of cardboard and correspondingly marked plastics that can be recycled.

• Make these materials available for recycling.

*) The noise emission values indicated have been measured according to a standardized test method and can be used to compare one power tool with another. The noise emission values indicated can also be used for a preliminary assessment of the exposure. Warning: The noise emissions during the actual use of the power tool may differ from the indicated values, depending on the way in which the power tool is used, in particular what type of workpiece is being machined. Safety measures must be defined to protect the operator, based on an estimation of the vibration load during actual conditions of use (taking into consideration all parts of the operating cycle, such as time periods when the power tool is switched off and time periods when it is switched on but running without a load).
Noise emission specifications according to the German Product Safety Act (ProdSG) or the EC Machinery Directive: The sound pressure level at the workplace may exceed 80 dB(A). If this is the case, the user must take noise protection measures (e.g. wearing appropriate hearing protection and taking regular breaks). **)

The specified vibration emission value was measured in accordance with a normed test procedure and can be used in order to compare one tool with another. The specified vibration emission value can also be used for an introductory evaluation of the exposure. The vibration emission value may fluctuate from the specified value during actual use of the power tool. These fluctuations will depend on the way in which the power tool is used. Try to keep vibrations to a minimum. One method of reducing the vibration load is, for example, limiting the length of time you work with the tool. All parts of the operating cycle must be taken into account for this purpose (for example, also including times in which the power tool is switched off and times in which it is switched on, but is running without load). Determination of vibration emission values in accordance with EN 60745-1 & EN 60745-2-13.
