Do not dispose of power tools and batteries/rechargeable batteries
into household waste!
Only for EU countries:
According to the Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic
equipment and its transposition into national law, power tools that are no
longer usable, and, according to the Directive 2006/66/EC, defective or
drained batteries must be collected separately and disposed of in an envir-
onmentally correct manner.
If disposed incorrectly, waste electrical and electronic equipment may have
harmful effects on the environment and human health, due to the potential
presence of hazardous substances.
Only for United Kingdom:
According to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2013
(2013/3113) and the Waste Batteries and Accumulators Regulations 2009
(2009/890), power tools that are no longer usable must be collected separ-

Please observe the notes in the section on transport (see "Transport",
page 32).
Integrated batteries may only be removed for disposal by qualified
u
personnel. Opening the housing shell can destroy the power tool.
Before you can remove the battery from the power tool, you will need to use
the power tool until the battery is completely discharged. Unscrew the
screws on the housing and remove the housing shell in order to remove the
battery. To prevent a short circuit, disconnect the connectors on the battery
one at a time and then isolate the poles. Even when fully discharged, the bat-
tery still contains a residual capacity which can be released in case of a short
circuit.
