5. PREPARING FOR OPERATION

5.1 CHECKING THE MACHINE
WARNING! Make sure that the battery is not fitted in its
housing.
WARNING! The fan protection fins (D, Fig.2-3) must be
intact, in order to ensure the operator's safety. If they are
not, replace the part.
Before beginning work, it is necessary to:
- check that the cooling vents are not clogged;
- check that the handle and machine guards are clean and
dry, correctly assembled and firmly secured to the
machine;
- check that the machine has no signs of wear or damage
due to impact or other causes, and make the necessary
repairs;
- check that the battery is in good conditions and that there
are no signs of damage. Do not use the machine with a
damaged or worn battery;
- charge the battery following the instructions given in the
chapter "Charging the battery".

onwards in this manual.
5.2 CHECKING THE STATUS OF THE BATTERY (Fig.1)
To check the battery (A) charge status, press button (B) which
activates 4 LEDs (C) which mean the following:
4 LED lights on = Duration = 4/4
3 LED lights on = Duration = 3/4
2 LED lights on = Duration >= 2/4
1 LED light on = Duration =< 1/4
1 Flashing LED light = battery is flat
4 Flashing LED lights = overheating
5.3 CHARGING THE BATTERY (Fig.2)
CAUTION: Make sure that the mains voltage of the power
outlet corresponds to that indicated on the battery charger
label.
To remove the battery (A) from the machine, press the two
buttons (B) and slide the battery out (A).
To recharge battery:
- connect the battery charger (C) to a power outlet; the
presence of voltage is indicated by the red warning light
(D) switching on.
- insert the battery (A) into its housing in the battery charger
(C), pushing all the way. Recharging a completely flat
battery requires approx. 113 minutes (2.5 Ah) and 225
minutes (5 Ah).
The recharging stages are indicated by the warning light (D):
- connected battery charger = red warning light on.
- battery inserted and recharging in progress = green
warning light flashing.
- battery recharging completed = green warning light on.
- short circuit = red warning light flashing quickly
- overheating = red warning light flashing slowly
Recharging complete:
- remove the battery (A) from the battery charger (C) and
refit it on the machine;
- disconnect the battery charger (C) from the power outlet.

6. USING THE MACHINE

6.1 STARTING UP THE MACHINE (Fig.3)
Before starting up the machine, insert the battery (A) into its
housing.
To start up the machine:

- Operate the switch lever (C) and rotate the regulator (D)
forwards or backwards to adjust the power of the air flow
output.
6.2 STOPPING THE MACHINE (Fig.3)
To stop the machine:
- Release the switch lever (C).
- Press the two buttons (B) to slide the battery out (A).
