• When transporting batteries, 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).
• Scrupulously 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, 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• When the machine is withdrawn from service,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.
