Additional notes on transport and shipment
■
Only transport or ship lithium-ion recharge-
able batteries in an undamaged state.
■
Secure the appliance in such a way as to
prevent it from starting to operate inadver-
tently during transport.
■
Secure the appliance with strong outer pack-
aging (cardboard shipment box). Use the
manufacturer's original packaging if possible.
■
Ensure correct identification and documenta-
tion of the consignment during transport or
dispatch (e.g. by parcel or forwarding):
■
When transporting by road, rail and wa-
ter, a warning sticker must be applied to
the packaging when the battery/batteries
accompany the appliance. No warning
sticker is necessary if the battery/batter-
ies are installed or fitted into the appli-
ance, since the outer packaging/original
packaging must already comply with spe-
cific regulations.
■
A warning sticker must always be placed
on the packaging when transporting by
air. The maximum weight limits for batter-
ies sent together with the appliance must
be observed: max. 5 kg battery weight
per package and max. 2 pieces per pack-
age, if the battery/batteries are accompa-
nying the appliance.
■
Please find out in advance whether transport
is possible with the selected service provider,
and show your shipment.
We recommend involving a hazardous goods
specialist in the preparation of the shipment.
Please heed any other national regulations.
