11. Disposal

Most of the materials from which Hilti appliances 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 appliances for recycling. Please ask your Hilti customer service department or Hilti sales repre-
sentative for further information.

Should you wish to return the appliance yourself to a disposal facility for recycling, proceed as follows:
Dismantle the appliance as far as possible without the need for special tools.

Separate the individual parts as follows:

Drilling slurry

*

* With regard to environmental aspects, allowing drilling slurry to flow directly into rivers, lakes or the sewerage

system without suitable pre-treatment is problematical. Ask the local authorities for information about applic-
able regulations.

We recommend the following pre-treatment:

– Allow the slurry to settle and dispose of the solid material at a construction waste disposal site (the addition of

a flocculent may accelerate the settling process).

– Water from the drilling slurry (alkaline, ph value < 7) should be neutralized by adding an acidic neutralizing

agent or large quantity of water before it is allowed to flow into the sewerage system.

12. Warranty

Under no circumstances will Hilti be obligated for
direct, indirect, incidental or consequential dam-
ages, losses or expenses in connection with, or by
