9 Disposal, recycling of old equipment
In the interest of the environment, care must be taken to
ensure that all components of the machine are disposed
of only via the designated and approved channels.
9.1 Taking out of service
Discarded equipment must be taken out of service im-
mediately in a professional manner in order to avoid la-
ter misuse and danger to the environment or persons.
- Dispose of all environmentally hazardous operating
materials from the old device.
- If necessary, disassemble the machine into manage-
able and recyclable assemblies and components.
- Dispose of the machine components and operating
materials in the designated disposal route.
9.2 Disposal of electrical equipment
Electrical devices contain a large number of recyclable
materials and environmentally harmful components.
These components must be disposed of separately and
professionally. In case of doubt, contact the municipal
waste disposal service. If necessary, use the services of
a specialized waste disposal company for processing.
9.3 Disposal via municipal collection points
Disposal of used electrical and electronic equipment
(Applicable in the countries of the European Union and
other European countries with a separate collection sy-
stem for this equipment).
The symbol on the product or its packaging in-
dicates that this product should not be treated as nor-
mal household waste, but should be handed in at a col-
lection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic
equipment. By helping to dispose of this product cor-
rectly, you will help protect the environment and the
health of those around you. Environment and health are
endangered by incorrect disposal. Material recycling
helps to reduce the consumption of raw materials. For
more information about recycling this product, contact
your local authority, municipal waste disposal service or
the store where you purchased the product.
9.4 Disposal of lubricants
The lubricant manufacturer provides the disposal inst-
ructions for the lubricants used. If necessary, ask for the
product-specific data sheets.
NOTE!
The carbon brushes must always be replaced in pairs.
NOTE!
If you have removed the carbon brushes only for
inspection, make sure that you reinsert them in the
same place and in the same order. Otherwise, the
result would be a reduction in performance and
increased brush wear.
DANGER!
Danger to life through electric shock!
To avoid danger from electricity, work on the power
supply line may only be carried out by the manu-
facturer or an authorized specialist workshop.
