Disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment
For customers in EU countries
This device is subject to the European Directive on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)
and the corresponding national legislation. The WEEE directive outlines the procedure for handling
electrical waste equipment across the EU.
The device is labelled with the symbol of a crossed out dustbin shown here. This means
you may not dispose of it with normal household waste but in a separate environmentally-
friendly waste collection.
This device is a professional electrical tool designed for commercial applications only
(B2B device according to WEEE directive). Contrary to equipment used in most private
households (B2C devices), in some EU countries such as Germany, this device may not be disposed of
at a collection point in a public disposal facility (for example at public waste depots). In case of doubt,
ask the sales outlet about the proper disposal procedure for B2B electrical equipment in your country
and ensure you dispose of the device in accordance with the valid legal guidelines. Please also note any
information in the sales contract and the general terms and conditions from the point of sales.
The proper disposal of this device prevents the occurrence of any negative effects on people or the
environment, follows the specific procedures for handling harmful substances and enables valuable raw
materials to be recycled.
For customers in non-EU countries
The proper disposal of this device prevents the occurrence of any negative effects on people or the
environment, follows the specific procedures for handling harmful substances and enables valuable raw
materials to be recycled. Therefore, we recommend that this device is disposed of in a separate,
environmentally-friendly waste collection and not with normal household waste. In some cases, national
legislation also stipulates the separate disposal of electric and electronic products. Please ensure you
dispose of this device in accordance with the valid regulations in your country.
