DO NOT DISPOSE OF ELECTRICAL TOOLS IN HOUSEHOLD
WASTE! DON'T THROW AWAY – RECYCLE!
According to European Directive 2012/19/EU, used electrical devices must be
collected separately for environmentally compatible recycling or recovery. The
symbol of the crossed out dustbin means that this device must not be disposed of
in household waste at the end of its service life. The device must be handed in
at established collection points, recycling centres or waste management depots.
The disposal of defective devices which you have sent in will be carried out free
of charge. In addition, distributors of electrical and electronic equipment as well
as food distributors are obliged to accept returned waste. Lidl provides you with
return options directly in its branches and shops. Return and disposal is free
of charge for you. When buying a new device you have the right to return an
equivalent old device at no charge. In addition you have the option, regardless of
whether you are buying a new device, to hand in (up to three) old devices at no
charge, as long as the device is no larger than 25 cm in any dimension. Before
returning the device please delete all personal information. Before returning,
please remove batteries or rechargeable battery packs which are not enclosed
by the old device, as well as bulbs, which can be removed without destroying the
product and take these to a separate collection point.
Batteries containing harmful substances are labelled with the adjacent
symbol, which indicates the prohibition on disposal in household waste.
The abbreviations for the relevant heavy metals are: Cd = cadmium,
Hg = mercury, Pb = lead.
Take used batteries to a waste management company in your city or community
or return them to your dealer. This satisfi es your legal obligations while also
making an important contribution to protecting the environment.
Please note the marking on the different packaging materials and
separate them as necessary. The packaging materials are marked with
abbreviations (a) and digits (b) with the following defi nitions: 1–7:
Plastics, 20–22: Paper and cardboard, 80–98: Composite materials.
