2.6 Environmental protection
Environmentally hazardous substances!
If environmentally hazardous substances are handled incorrectly this
may cause significant damage to the environment, particularly if they are
improperly disposed of.
Therefore:
– The instructions below should be observed at all times.
– Appropriate measures should be taken immediately if environmental-
ly hazardous substances are accidentally released into the environ-
ment. In cases of doubt, please inform the responsible local authority
about the damages.
The following environmentally hazardous substances are used:
Batteries
Batteries contain toxic heavy metals. They must be treated as special haz-
ardous waste and be disposed of in municipal waste collection points or by
a waste specialist.
2.7 Operator's responsibility
The device will be used in the commercial sector. The operator of the de-
vice will therefore be subject to legal obligations concerning occupational
safety.
In addition to the safety information contained in these instructions, the val-
id safety, accident prevention, and environmental protection regulations for
the area of application of the device, must be adhered to. In particular:
The operator must ensure that the valid safety, accident prevention, and
environmental protection regulations for the entire plant in which the de-
vice is being integrated, are complied with.
The operator must be familiar with the valid occupational safety regula-
tions and must also be able to conduct a risk assessment to determine
risks arising from the specific working conditions in the respective area
of application of the device. The operator must then implement this in
the form of operating instructions for the operation of the device.
Throughout the entire life cycle of the device, the operator must deter-
mine whether their prepared operating instructions are compatible with
current regulations and amend these if and when necessary.
The operator must clearly regulate and define responsibilities for the as-
sembly, connection, putting into operation, and maintenance of the de-
vice.
