Proper disposal of Hypertherm products
Hypertherm waterjet cutting systems, like all products with electronics, can contain materials or parts, such as printed
circuit boards, that can not be discarded with ordinary waste. It is your responsibility to dispose of Hypertherm
product or part in an environmentally suitable manner and in compliance with national and local codes.
In the United States, check all federal, state, and local laws. In the European Union (EU), check the EU directives,
national, and local laws. For more information, go to www.hypertherm.com/weee. In other countries, check national
and local laws. Consult with legal or other compliance experts when applicable.
Particle emission and wastewater quality
Hypertherm does not manufacture or supply the materials that are cut and has no knowledge whether the particles
released from materials that are cut will pose a physical hazard or health risk. Consult with your supplier or other
technical advisor if you need guidance concerning the properties of the material you will cut using a Hypertherm
product.
If you are not fully aware of and up to date on all applicable government regulations and legal standards for the
installation site, consult a local expert before purchasing, installing, and operating the equipment.
