Important notes Environmental Protection
2.3 Environmental Protection
Environmentally friendly product design and development
This product has been designed in accordance with standards for ”environmen-
tally friendly product design and development“. This means that the designers
have taken into account important criteria such as durability, selection of
materials and coding, emissions, packaging, the ease with which the product
can be dismantled and the extent to which it can be recycled.
This saves resources and thus reduces the harm done to the environment.
Notes on saving energy
Devices that do not have to be on permanently should not be switched on until
they need to be used and should be switched off during long breaks and on
completion of work.
Notes on packaging
Please do not throw away the packaging. We recommend that you do not throw
away the original packaging in case you need it later for transporting.
Notes on dealing with consumables
Please dispose batteries in accordance with local government regulations.
Do not throw batteries and accumulators into the household waste. They must
be disposed of in accordance with local regulations concerning special waste.
All batteries containing pollutants are marked with a symbol (a crossed-out
rubbish bin on wheels). In addition, the marking is provided with the chemical
symbol of the heavy metal decisive for the classification as a pollutant:
Cd Cadmium
Hg Mercury
Pb Lead
Notes on labeling plastic housing parts
Please avoid attaching your own labels to plastic housing parts wherever
possible, since this makes it difficult to recycle them.
