must be separated and taken to collection
centres, which will recycle the materials.
• Scrupulously comply with local regulations
for the disposal of waste materials
• When the machine is withdrawn from service,
do not dispose of it in the environment,
but take it to a waste disposal facility in
accordance with the 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 a landfill or in the ground, the harmful
substances can reach the water table and
enter 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 safely in an eco-friendly
manner. 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.

2.5 RESIDUAL RISKS

Even when all safety rules are observed,
there may still be certain residual risks
which cannot be excluded. From the kind
and construction of the tool the foreseeable
potential endangerments can be:
• Hurled materials that may injure the eyes;
• Damage of the hearing, if no
protection of the ears is carried.
