After-sales service If your unit is defective, please contact your specialist dealer or the Graef cus- tomer service on [phone] or write an e-mail to [e-mail] Disposal of the packaging The packaging protects the unit against transport damage. The pa- ckaging materials are selected according to the environmental com- patibility and disposal-related aspects and can therefore be recyc- led. The return of packaging into the material cycle saves raw material and reduces the waste volume. Dispose of the packaging material no longer needed at collection points for the “Green Dot” recycling system (in Germany). If possible, keep the original packaging during the guarantee pe- riod of the unit in order to be able to pack the unit correctly in case of guarantee. Disposal of the battery

• The battery pack must be removed to dispose the unit.

• Make sure that the battery pack is completely discharged. Check this by trying to switch on the unit.

• If the battery pack has not been completely discharged and an electrically conductive connection has been established, there is danger of a short cir- cuit.

• In the event the unit is starting, let the unit run until it will switch off automati-27

cally. Try to switch on the unit again in order to verify that the battery pack is completely discharged. Repeat the entire process so long until the unit cannot be switched on any more.

• Loosen the screws on the handle of the unit and dismantle the housing shells.

• Despite of complete discharge, the battery pack has a remaining capacity which can be released in case of a short circuit.
