5.1 CHECKING THE MACHINE
WARNING! Make sure that the battery is not fitted in its
housing.
Before beginning work, it is necessary to:
- check that the switch lever and safety lever can move
freely, without forcing, and that upon release they return
quickly and automatically to their neutral position;
- check that the switch lever stays locked, if the safety lever
is not pressed;
- check that the cooling vents are not clogged;
- check that the handles and machine guards are clean and
dry, correctly assembled and firmly secured to the
machine;

damaged;
- 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

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
