Recycling alternative to the demand to return electrical devices:
As an alternative to returning the electrical device, the owner is obliged to cooperate in ensuring that the device is
properly recycled if ownership is relinquished. This can also be done by handing over the used device to a returns center,
which will dispose of it in accordance with national commercial and industrial waste management legislation. This does
not apply to the accessories and auxiliary equipment without any electrical components which are included with the used
device.
For EU countries only
Never place any electric tools in your household refuse.
To comply with European Directive 2002/96/EC concerning old electric and electronic equipment and its implementation
in national laws, old electric tools have to be separated from other waste and disposed of in an environment-friendly
fashion, e.g. by taking to a recycling depot.
