10 Disposal

CAUTION

Improper disposal of the equipment may have serious consequences: The burning of plastic components generates toxic fumes which may present a health hazard. Batteries may explode if damaged or exposed to very high temperatures, causing poisoning, burns, acid burns or environmental pollution. Careless disposal may permit unauthorized and improper use of the equipment. This may result in serious personal injury, injury to third parties and pollution of the environment.

CAUTION

Dispose of defective batteries without delay. Keep them out of reach of children. Do not attempt to open or dismantle batteries and do not dispose of them by incineration.

CAUTION

Dispose of the batteries in accordance with national regulations or return them to Hilti.

Most of the materials from which Hilti power tools or appliances are manufactured can be recycled. The materials must be correctly separated before they can be recycled. In many countries, Hilti has already made arrangements for taking back your old power tools or appliances for recycling. Ask Hilti customer service or your Hilti representative for further information.

For EC countries only

Do not dispose of electrical appliances together with household waste.

In observance of the European Directive on waste electrical and electronic equipment and its implementation in accordance with national law, electrical appliances and batteries that have reached the end of their life must be collected separately and returned to an environmentally compatible recycling facility.

Disposing of drilling slurry

Disposing of drilling slurry directly into rivers, lakes or the sewerage system without suitable pretreatment presents environmental problems. Ask the local public authorities for information about current regulations. We recommend the following pretreatment:

1. Collect the drilling slurry (for example, using a wet-type vacuum cleaner).
2. Allow the drilling slurry to settle and dispose of the solid material at a construction waste disposal site (the addition of a flocculent may accelerate the separation process).
3. The remaining water (alkaline, pH value greater than 7) must be neutralized by the addition of an acidic neutralizing agent or diluted with a large volume of water before it is allowed to flow into the sewerage system.

Disposal of drilling dust

The drilling dust collected must be disposed of in accordance with the applicable national regulations.
