Notes on lithium-ion batteries
Remove the battery before disposing of the
device!
• Do not dispose of the battery in household waste, in
a fire (risk of explosion) or in water. Damaged bat-
teries can harm the environment and your health if
toxic vapours or liquids escape.
• Defective or used batteries must be recycled in ac-
cordance with Directive 2006/66/EC.
• Hand in the device and the battery charger at a re-
cycling centre. The plastic and metal parts used can
be separated by type and thus recycled.
• Dispose of batteries when discharged. We recom-
mend covering the poles with an adhesive strip to
protect against a short circuit. Do not open the bat-
tery.
• Dispose of batteries according to local regulations.
Return batteries to a used battery collection point
where they can be recycled in an environmentally
friendly manner. Ask your local waste disposal com-
pany about this.
Fuels and oils
• Before disposing of the product, the fuel tank and
the engine oil tank must be emptied!
• Fuel and engine oil do not belong in household
waste or drains, but must be collected or disposed
of separately!
• Empty oil and fuel tanks must be disposed of in an
environmentally friendly manner.
