Transport; Environmental Protection - Stiga WBE120 Manuel D'utilisation

Storage
• Never leave fuel in the tank if the machine
is stored in a building where the fuel
vapours can come into contact with open
flames, sparks or sources of heat.
• Let the machine cool down
before storing it indoors.

Transport

• Transport the machine with an empty tank.
2.5 BATTERY, BATTERY CHARGER
(IF APPLICABLE)
IMPORTANT The following safety instructions
are in addition to the safety requirements
provided in the specific battery and battery
charger manual delivered with this machine.
• Only use battery chargers recommended
by the manufacturer to recharge batteries.
An inadequate battery charger may
cause electric shock, overheating or
corrosive liquid to leak from the battery.
• Use only batteries specifically designed
for your power tool. The use of other
batteries may cause injuries and fire risks.
• Keep all unused batteries at a distance
from paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects as
contact with the same can cause short
circuits. Short circuits between battery
contacts can lead to explosion or fires.
• Never use the battery charger in
environments in the presence of vapours,
flammable substances or on easily
flammable surfaces such as paper, fabric,
etc. The battery charger heats up during
recharging and may cause a fire.
• When transporting accumulators, make
sure the contacts never come into
contact with each other and never use
metal containers to transport them.

2.6 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Protecting the environment must be a
significant and top priority for machine
use, to the benefit of civil co-habitation
and of the environment that we live in.
Avoid being an element of disturbance to
the surrounding area. Use this machine
at reasonable times of the day only (not
early morning or late evening when the
noise could cause disturbance).
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, who will recycle the materials.
Comply with local regulations for the
disposal of waste materials
At the time of decommissioning, do not
leave the machine in the environment,
rather, contact a collection centre, in
accordance with 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 dumps or in landfills, hazardous
substances can leak into the groundwater and
contaminate 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 EMISSIONS
The combustion process generates toxic
substances such as carbon monoxide,
nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons.
It is important to control these substances
because they can react with photochemical
smog as well as with direct exposure to sunlight.
Carbon monoxide does not react in the
same way to exposure to sunlight but
it must still be considered toxic.
Our machines are equipped with
emission reduction systems for the
substances mentioned above.
