13. Environmental Protection

The sanding dust generated may contain
hazardous materials: do not dispose of with the
household waste, but at a special collection point
for hazardous waste.
Observe national regulations on environmentally
compatible disposal and on the recycling of disused
machines, packaging and accessories.
Battery packs must not be disposed of with regular
waste. Please return faulty or used battery packs to
your Metabo dealer.
Do not throw battery packs into water.
Only for EU countries: Never dispose of
power tools in your household waste! In
accordance with European Guideline 2002/
96/EC on used electronic and electric equipment
and its implementation in national legal systems,
used power tools must be collected separately and
handed in for environmentally compatible recycling.
Before disposal, discharge the battery pack in the
power tool. Prevent the contacts from short-
circuiting (e. g. by protecting them with adhesive
tape).

different power tools. Depending on the operating
conditions, the condition of the power tool or the
accessories, the actual load may be higher or lower.
For assessment purposes, please allow for breaks
and periods when the load is lower. Based on the
adjusted estimates, arrange protective measures
for the user e.g. organisational measures.
