12. Disposal
Most of the materials from which Hilti power tools are manufactured can be recycled. The materials must be cor-
rectly separated before they can be recycled. In many countries, Hilti has already made arrangements for taking
back your old electric tools for recycling. Please ask your Hilti customer service department or Hilti sales repre-
sentative for further information. Should you wish to return the electric tool yourself to a disposal facility for recy-
cling, proceed as follows: Dismantle the tool as far as possible without the need for special tools. Use absorbent
paper to wipe greasy parts clean and collect any grease that runs out. This paper should also be disposed of cor-
rectly.
On no account should grease be allowed to enter the waste water system or find its way into the ground.
