14 Disposal
14.1 Disposal of old electrical and electronic equipment
Professional disposal of this machine avoids negative effects on human health and the environment,
helps with the targeted treatment of pollutants and makes it possible to recycle valuable raw materials.
For customers in EU countries
This machine is subject to the European directive for old electrical and electronic equipment (Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)), as well as the corresponding national laws. The WEEE
directive provides the framework for an EU-wide treatment of old electrical equipment.
The machine is marked with the following symbol of a crossed-out garbage bin. This
means that you do not dispose of the battery in normal household waste but that it must
be disposed of in a separate, environmentally friendly collection facility.
This unit is provided as a professional electrical tool exclusively for commercial use (a so-
called B2B device according to the WEEE directive). Unlike equipment mostly used in
private households (so-called B2C devices), this machine may therefore not be disposed of in some EU
countries, such as in Germany, at the collection points of public waste management organizations (e.g.
municipal collection stations). If there are any doubts, information regarding the different methods of
disposal for B2B electronic devices for each country can be obtained from the sales location, so that the
disposal takes place in accordance with the valid statutory provisions. There are also some notes to
follow in the sales contract or in the general Terms and Conditions of the sales location.
For customers in other countries
It is recommended that you do not dispose of the machine in normal household waste but rather in a
separate, environmentally friendly collection facility. National laws also may, under certain
circumstances, prescribe the separate disposal of electrical and electronic products. Correct disposal of
this machine in accordance with current national guidelines must be assured.
