DISPOSAL OF USED EQUIPMENT
This device has been designed and manufactured of high-quality reusable materials and
components.
The symbol of the crossed waste container placed on the product (Fig. A) means that the product
is subject to selective collection in accordance with the provisions of Directive 2012/19/EU of the
European Parliament and of the Council. A crossed-out wheelie bin symbol (Fig. B) placed on the
product means that the product contains batteries that are subject to separate collection in
accordance with the provisions of Directive 2006/66/EC of the European Parliament and of the
Council. Such marking informs that electrical and electronic equipment and batteries (if any)
must not be disposed of with other household waste after the period of use.
The user is obliged to return waste equipment and batteries (if any) to collection points for waste
electrical and electronic equipment and batteries (if any). Collectors of such waste, including
waste equipment collectors, treatment plants, distributors (shops), municipal waste separate
collection points (municipal units), and other entities specified by law form an appropriate system
to return this kind of equipment.
Correct disposal of waste equipment and batteries (if any) allows avoiding consequences that may
be harmful to health and the environment, caused by the possible presence of hazardous
components in the equipment and batteries, and inappropriate storage and processing of such
equipment and batteries. Households play an important role in contributing to the reuse and
recovery, including recycling, of waste equipment. At this stage, attitudes are formed, affecting
the common good, which is a clean natural environment.
Moreover, households are one of the largest users of small equipment and the rational
management thereof at this stage affects the recovery of secondary raw materials.
Penalties may be imposed in accordance with national legislation for improper disposal of this
product.
If the device has a lock, please remove it for the safety of all persons who may later come into
contact with the device.
