Lawn clippings should be 
composted and not disposed of 
in household waste.
The machine, its packaging and 
accessories are all produced from 
recyclable materials and must be disposed 
of accordingly.
By disposing of materials separately and in 
an environmentally friendly manner, 
recyclable waste can be re-used. For this 
reason, the machine should be disposed 
of for recycling at the end of its useful life. 
Improper disposal may be harmful to 
health and pollute the environment. Pay 
particular attention to the information in the 
section "Disposal" during disposal. 
( 5.10)
Consult your recycling centre or your 
specialist dealer for information on the 
proper disposal of waste products.
Waste products such as 
batteries must always be 
disposed of properly. Observe 
local regulations. Do not 
dispose of the battery with 
domestic waste, but hand it in to a 
specialist dealer or at a hazardous waste 
collection point.
● Remove the battery ( 9.5) and 
dispose of separately from the lawn 
mower.
