13.2.2 Disposal of rechargeable batteries and starter batteries
The machine contains one or more batteries or accumulators (hereinafter
uniformly referred to as "battery"). Professional disposal of the battery
avoids negative effects on human health and the environment, helps with
the targeted treatment of pollutants and makes it possible to recycle valu-
able raw materials.
For customers in EU countries
This battery is subject to the European Directive on (old) batteries and
(old) accumulators and the relevant national laws. The Battery directive
provides the framework for an EU-wide treatment of old batteries.
The battery is marked with the crossed-out garbage bin symbol. Further-
more, a marking of the pollutants used is included, where "Pb" stands for
lead, "Cd" for cadmium and "Hg" for mercury.
Disposable batteries and rechargeable battery containing lithium can be
recognized by the marking "Li" or "Li-Ion" for lithium.
Batteries must not be disposed of with normal household waste! End
users must dispose of used batteries exclusively via the manufacturer
and the trade or the collection points specially set up for this purpose
(legal obligation to return); the disposal is free of charge. Retailers and
manufacturers are obliged to take these batteries back and recycle them
properly or dispose of them as hazardous waste (legal obligation to take
them back).
Batteries purchased from the manufacturer can be returned to the manu-
facturer free of charge after use. If the battery cannot be delivered in per-
son to one of the branches, any instructions in the purchase contract or in
the general terms and conditions of the point of sale must be observed.
For customers in other countries
The manufacturer recommends that the battery be disposed of in an en-
vironmentally friendly manner in a separate collection rather than in the
normal household waste. National laws or regional regulations may also
require batteries to be disposed of separately. Disposal of the battery in
accordance with national regulations must therefore be ensured.
