Within the European Union it is illegal to dispose of electric and
electronic waste as unsorted municipal waste. According to
this, all MAICO products sold after August 13, 2005, are
marked with a crossed-out wheeled bin. Within the limits of
Article (9) of DIRECTIVE 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and
electronic equipment (WEEE), MAICO has changed their sales
policy. To avoid additional distribution costs we assign the
responsibility for the proper collection and treatment according
to legal regulations to our customers.
Outside the European Union, local regulations should be
followed when disposing of the product after its useful life.
Batteries may explode or cause burns, if disassembled,
crushed or exposed to fire or high temperatures.
