Disposal and protection
of the environment
Remove the rechargeable battery before
disposing of the device.
The device, accessories and packaging
should be properly recycled.
Instruction on how to dispose of the re-
chargeable battery can be found in the
separate instruction manual for your bat-
tery and charger.
Electrical appliances must not be dis-
posed of with the domestic waste.
The crossed out waste bin symbol me-
ans that this product must not be disposed
of with household waste after its service life.
Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical
and electronic equipment: Consumers are
legally obliged to recycle electrical and
electronic equipment in an environmentally
sound manner at the end of its life. In this
way, environmentally friendly and resour-
ce-saving recycling is ensured.
Depending on implementation in national
law, you may have the following options:
• Return to a shop,
• Hand over to an official collection point,
• Return to the manufacturer/distributor.
This does not affect accessories enclosed
with the old devices or tools without any
electrical components.
• Feed clippings to composting and do
not throw them into the refuse bin.

Do not throw batteries into domestic
waste, fire (risk of explosion) or wa-
ter. Damaged batteries can harm the
environment and your health if poisonous
fumes or liquids escape.
Dispose of the batteries according to local
standards. Defective or used batteries must
be recycled in accordance with Directive
2013/56/EU. Hand in the batteries at a
used battery collection point where they
are recycled in an environmentally friendly
manner. For more information, please
contact your local waste management
provider or our service centre.
Dispose of batteries in a discharged state.
We recommend covering the contacts with
an adhesive strip to protect against short
circuits. Do not open the battery.
