als that can harm the environment or human health.
Recycling old batteries and using the resources
they contain helps to protect these two important
issues.
• The symbol of the crossed-out dustbin means that
primary batteries and rechargeable batteries must
not be disposed of with household waste.
• If the signs Hg, Cd or Pb are also located below the
dustbin symbol, this stands for the following:
- Hg: Battery contains more than 0.0005% mercu-
ry
- Cd: Battery contains more than 0.002% cadmium
- Pb: Battery contains more than 0.004% lead
• Rechargeable batteries and primary batteries can
be returned free of charge to the following places:
- Public disposal or collection points (e.g. munici-
pal works yards)
- Sales points for primary batteries and recharge-
able batteries
- Take-back points of the common take-back sys-
tem for old device batteries
- Take-back point of the manufacturer (if not a
member of the common take-back system)
• These statements are only valid for rechargeable
batteries and primary batteries sold in the coun-
tries of the European Union and subject to the Eu-
ropean Directive 2006/66/EC. In countries outside
the European Union, different regulations may ap-
ply to the disposal of rechargeable batteries and
primary batteries.
Notes on lithium-ion batteries
Remove the battery before disposing of
the device!
Li-Ion
• Do not dispose of the battery in household waste, in
a fire (risk of explosion) or in water. Damaged bat-
teries can harm the environment and your health if
toxic vapours or liquids escape.
• Defective or used batteries must be recycled in ac-
cordance with Directive 2006/66/EC.
• Hand in the device and the battery charger at a
recycling centre. The plastic and metal parts used
can be separated by type and thus recycled.
• Dispose of batteries when discharged. We recom-
mend covering the poles with an adhesive strip to
protect against a short circuit. Do not open the bat-
tery.
• Dispose of batteries according to local regulations.
Return batteries to a used battery collection point
where they can be recycled in an environmental-
ly friendly manner. Ask your local waste disposal
company about this.
You can find out how to dispose of the disused
device from your local authority or city adminis-
tration.
Fuels and oils
• Before disposing of the unit, the fuel tank and the
engine oil tank must be emptied!
• Fuel and engine oil do not belong in household
waste or drains, but must be collected or disposed
of separately!
• Empty oil and fuel tanks must be disposed of in
an environmentally friendly manner.
