Disposal
Measuring tools, rechargeable/non-rechargeable batteries, accessories and packaging should be sorted for environmental-friendly recycling.
Do not dispose of the measuring tools or battery packs/batteries with household waste.
Only for EU countries and United Kingdom:
Electrical and electronic equipment or used batteries that are no longer suitable for use must be collected separately and disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. Use the designated collection systems. Incorrect disposal may cause harmful effects on the environment and human health, due to the potential presence of hazardous substances.
Battery packs/batteries:
- Integrated batteries may only be removed for disposal by qualified personnel. Opening the housing shell can destroy the measuring tool.
Before you can remove the battery from the measuring tool, you will need to use the measuring tool until the battery is completely discharged. Unscrew the screws on the housing and remove the housing shell in order to remove the battery. To prevent a short circuit, disconnect the connectors on the battery one at a time and then isolate the poles. Even when fully discharged, the battery still contains a residual capacity, which can be released in case of a short circuit.
The integrated rechargeable battery must be disposed of separately from the measuring tool. Leave the measuring tool switched on until the battery is completely discharged. Remove the battery from the measuring tool as described in the section on replacing the battery. Dispose of the removed battery in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.
