12 Disposal
12.1 Disposal of old electrical and electronic equipment
For customers in EU countries
This equipment is subject to the European directive for old electrical and elec-
tronic 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 equipment is marked with the adjacent symbol of a crossed-out
garbage can. This means that you may not dispose of the equip-
ment via the normal house waste, but rather it must be disposed of
in a separate collection in an environmentally friendly manner.
This equipment is provided as a professional electrical tool exclu-
sively for commercial use (a so-called B2B device according to the WEEE direc-
tive). Unlike equipment mostly used in private households (so-called B2C devic-
es), this equipment may therefore not be disposed of in some EU countries, such
as in Germany, at the collection points of public waste management organiza-
tions (e.g. municipal collection stations). If you are in doubt about where to dis-
pose of your equipment, please ask your sales outlet about the proper disposal
procedure for B2B electrical equipment in your country and ensure the disposal
takes place according to the valid statutory provisions. Please also observe any
information regarding disposal in the purchase contract or in the general terms
and conditions of your sales outlet.
A professional disposal of this equipment 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 other countries
A professional disposal of this equipment 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. We therefore recommend
not disposing of this equipment via the normal household waste, but rather in a
separate collection in an environmentally friendly manner. National laws also
may under certain circumstances prescribe the separate disposal of electrical
and electronic products. Please ensure the disposal of this equipment according
to the provisions applicable in your country.
