GENERAL INFORMATION

DANGER
The safety regulations to be followed are
described in chapter 2. Strictly comply with these
instructions to avoid serious risks or hazards.
Before commencing any inspections, cleaning
or maintenance/adjustments on the machine:
1. stop the machine;
2. Wait until the cutting means stops;
3. Disconnect the machine from the
battery backpack (Fig. 9);
4. remove the battery from its housing
and recharge it (par. 7.2.2);
5. fit the blade guard (Fig. 1.E), if no
interventions are required on the blade;
6. Wait until the engine has
properly cooled down;
7. read the relevant instructions;
8. Use suitable clothing, protective
gloves and safety goggles.
• The frequency and types of maintenance
are summarised in the "Maintenance
Table" (see chapter 13). The table will
help you maintain your machine's safety
and performance. It summarises the
main interventions to be made and the
frequency applicable to each of them.
Carry out the relevant task as soon
as it is scheduled to be performed.
• The use of non-original parts and
accessories could have negative effects
on machine operation and safety. The
manufacturer declines any responsibility for
damage or injury caused by said products.

by Authorised Assistance
Centres and Dealers.
ATTENTION
Any maintenance and adjustment operations not
described in this manual must be carried out by
the local Dealer or Authorised Service Centre.

7.2 BATTERY

7.2.1 Battery power reserve
Battery power reserve (and therefore the
cuttable vegetation area before recharging
is required) mainly depends on:
• Environmental factors, that cause
higher energy requirements:
• cutting/trimming of very thick or wet hedges;
• cutting/trimming of bushes with
branches that are too thick;
• operator behaviour that should be avoided:
• switching the machine on and off
frequently whilst working;
• adopting a cutting technique that
is unsuitable for the work to be
performed (para. 6.4.1);
• cutting speed unsuitable for the
condition of the hedge to be cut.
To optimise battery power reserve
it is always recommended to:
• cut the hedge when dry;
• set a cutting speed suitable for
the condition of the shrubs;
• use the most appropriate technique
for the work to be performed.
NOTE
The battery charge level can be monitored
by checking the specific indicator
located on the hand grip (Fig. 6.F).
If the need arises to use the machine for
sessions which exceed the capability of
a standard battery, it is possible to:
• choose the second battery (if any) from
the battery backpack (Fig. 5.B);
• purchase additional standard batteries
to immediately replace the discharged
battery, without compromising
the continuity of operations;
• purchase a battery with an extended
power reserve compared to the
standard version (para. 14.1).
