Important notes Environmental Protection

2.3Environmental 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.
