9 Disposal / Recycling
Electrical and electronic old de-
vices contain a variety of valuable
materials, but also hazardous
substances which were required
for function and safety. Incorrect
disposal or handling can be dan-
gerous to your health and the environment.
Never dispose of old devices in the house-
hold waste. Observe the current applicable
regulations and use the collection points for
returning and recycling electric and elec-
tronic devices. Dispose of all the packaging
materials also in an environmentally-respon-
sible way.
10 Technical data
* The maximum number of sheets (DIN A4, 70 g/m² or 80 g/m²), fed lengthways, which can be cut in one cycle. The
performance data is determined when the motor is cold and the cutting device is freshly oiled. A weaker mains voltage
or a different mains frequency to the one specified could result in less sheet capacity and increased noise during op-
eration. The sheet capacity can vary depending on the structure and properties of the paper and on the way it enters.
