Dismantling
General rules
Before disposing of the machine, the machine should be broken down and separated into the 3
categories as follows:
•
Cast iron or ferrous materials: These materials should be of single composition, without
combination or attachment to other types of materials. This is a recyclable material. The
materials may be sent to metal scrap and recycling centers.
•
Electrical components: This includes cables and electronic parts (magnetic cards, etc.). These
materials may be considered as urban waste. Give the materials to your local public waste
disposal service.
•
Old mineral, synthetic and/or mixed oils: Blend oils and greases are special refuse. Have these
collected by a service specializing in oil disposal.
Note: Standards and legislation for waste disposal is in a state continuous change and evolution.
The user must be informed of current regulation for waste disposal of machine tools, as they may
differ from those described above. They are to be considered as general guideline.
