Disposal

Warning: Danger of suffocation!

Keep packaging parts out of the reach of children and dispose of them as soon as possible.

The packaging protects the device from damage during transport. The packaging materials are generally selected according to environmentally compatible and disposal aspects and are therefore recyclable. Returning the packaging to the material cycle saves raw materials and reduces the volume of waste. Packaging parts (e.g., foils, Styrofoam®) can be dangerous for children.

Do not dispose of electrical equipment in household waste; use the collection points in your community. Ask your local authority for the locations of the collection points. If electrical equipment is disposed of in an uncontrolled manner, hazardous substances can enter the groundwater and thus the food chain during weathering, or flora and fauna can be poisoned for years. If you replace the device with a new one, the seller is legally obliged to accept the old one for disposal at least free of charge.

When disposing of the device, the relevant regulations on the disposal of used oil must be followed.

Defective equipment and/or equipment requiring disposal must be taken to the designated recycling points.

Dispose of batteries in an environmentally friendly manner.

Rechargeable batteries and batteries do not belong in household waste. As a consumer, you are legally obligated to return used batteries or rechargeable batteries. At the end of the service life of your device, the batteries or rechargeable batteries must be removed and disposed of separately. You can return your old batteries and accumulators to the local collection points of your municipality or to your dealer or point of sale.

The return of accumulators and batteries to the point of sale is free of charge.

If liquid leaks from a rechargeable battery or battery, make sure that this liquid does not come into contact with the skin or eyes. If it does come into contact, immediately clean the skin or eyes with water and contact a doctor. If rechargeable batteries and batteries are disposed of in an uncontrolled manner, hazardous substances may enter the groundwater and thus the food chain during weathering, or flora and fauna may be poisoned for years. By returning used as well as defective rechargeable batteries and batteries, you make an important contribution to the recycling of materials and the protection of our environment.

Do not throw accumulators and batteries into the fire.

otherwise there is a risk of explosion! Accumulators and batteries can also explode if they are damaged. Li-Ion rechargeable batteries must be disposed of. Have defective rechargeable batteries disposed of by a specialist dealer. Rechargeable batteries must be removed from the device before it is scrapped.

Damaged batteries can harm the environment and your health if toxic vapors or liquids escape. Therefore, never ship a defective battery by mail, etc. Please contact your local disposal center.

Dispose of rechargeable batteries in a discharged state. We recommend covering the terminals with an adhesive strip to protect against a short circuit. Do not open the battery.
