• During a longer storage period, check
the state of charge of the battery and
recharge if necessary roughly every 3
months.
• Store the equipment between 10°C
and 25°C. Avoid extremes of cold
and heat during storage, in order to
prevent impairment of battery perfor-
mance.
Disposal and protection
of the environment
Remove the battery from the device and
take the device, battery, accessories and
packaging for environmentally friendly
recycling.
Machines do not belong with do-
mestic waste.
Do not dispose of batteries in
household waste, re (risk of ex-
plosion) or water. Damaged batter-
ies may damage the environment
and your health if toxic fumes or
liquids leak out.
• Return the unit to a recycling centre.
The plastics and metals in the unit can
be sorted and appropriately recycled.
Ask our Service Centre for details.
• Dispose of batteries in discharged
condition. We recommend covering
the pole with adhesive tape to prevent
a short circuit. Do not open up the bat-
tery.
• Dispose of batteries in accordance
with the local regulations. Take batter-
ies to an old battery collection point
where they will be recycled in an
environmentally friendly manner. For
information about this, ask your local
waste management company or our
Service-Centre.
