14. Disposal and Recycling
The device is contained in a package to avoid
damages due to transport. This package is raw
material and can therefore be reused, or can be
returned to the cycle of raw materials. The device
and its accessories are made of various materials
such as metal and plastic. Dispose of defective
parts as special waste. Ask the specialist shop or
the local government for details!
Do not dispose power tools together
with domestic waste! According to
the European directive 2002/96/EC
regarding waste electrical or electronic
equipment and implementation according to
national law, old power tools must be collected
separately and recycled in an environmentally
friendly manner. Recycling as an alternative
to return request: In case of abandonment
of ownership the owner of the appliance is
alternatively obligated to contribute to proper
recycling, instead of returning the appliance.
To do so, the waste equipment can be given
to a return location that implements disposal
according to the national laws for recycling
economy and waste. This does not apply to
accessories supplied to waste equipment and
auxiliary means without any electronic parts.
