2.4 BATTERY / BATTERY CHARGER
IMPORTANT The following safety instructions
are in addition to the safety requirements
provided in the specific battery and battery
charger manual delivered with this machine.
a) Only use battery chargers recommended
by the manufacturer to recharge batteries.
An inadequate battery charger may
cause electric shock, overheating or
corrosive liquid to leak from the battery.
b) Use only batteries specifically designed
for your power tool. The use of other
batteries may cause injuries and fire risks.
c) Make sure that the machine is switched
off before inserting the battery.
Inserting a battery in a machine which
is switched on can cause a fire.
d) Keep all unused batteries at a distance
from paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects as
contact with the same can cause short
circuits. Short circuits between battery
contacts can lead to explosion or fires.
e) Do not use the battery charger in places
where there are inflammable vapours,
substances or on easily inflammable
surfaces like paper, fabric, etc.
During recharge, the battery charger
becomes heated and may cause fire.
f) When transporting batteries, make
sure the contacts never come into
contact with each other and never use
metal containers to transport them.
g) Batteries in poor condition can cause
liquids to leak. Avoid contact with the
liquid. In the case of accidental contact
flush with water. If the liquid comes into
contact with the eyes, also seek medical
advice. Liquid leaking from the battery
may cause skin irritation or burns.
h) Check that the accumulator is in good
condition and there are no signs of
damage. Do not use the device with
a damaged or worn accumulator.
i) Do not recharging non-
rechargeable batteries.
j) The transformer external flexible
cable cannot be replaced; if the
cable is damaged, the whole
transformer must be disposed of.
k) Unplug the charger before cleaning or
when there is no battery pack inside.
The line voltage can be disconnected
by pulling the mains socket.
l) Prevent small metal objects or materials
such as steel wool, aluminium foil,
or other extraneous particles from
entering the charger cavities.
2.5 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Safeguarding the environment must
be a relevant and priority aspect of
machine use, of benefit to the community
and the environment we live in.
• Avoid being a disturbance to the
neighbourhood. Use this machine at
reasonable times of the day only (not
early morning or late evening when the
noise could cause disturbance).
• A certain amount of chain lubricating oil
is released into the environment when
the machine is running, so only use
biodegradable oils made specifically for
this use. Use of a mineral oil or motor oil
causes serious damage to the environment.
• Scrupulously comply with local regulations for
the disposal of packaging, deteriorated parts
or any elements with a strong environmental
impact; this waste must not be disposed of
as normal waste, it must be separated and
taken to specified waste disposal centres
where the material will be recycled.
• Scrupulously comply with local regulations
for the disposal of waste materials
• When the machine is withdrawn from service,
do not dump it in the environment, but take
it to a waste disposal facility in accordance
with the local regulations in force.
Do not throw electrical equipment away
with domestic waste. According to the
European Directive 2012/19/EU on
electrical and electronic equipment
waste and its implementation in
compliance with national standards, old
electrical equipment must be collected
separately, for eco-compatible recycling. If
electrical equipment is disposed of in a landfill
or in the ground, the harmful substances can
reach the water table and enter the food chain,
damaging your health and well-being. For
further information on disposing of this product,
contact the competent authority for the disposal
of domestic waste or your dealer.
At the end of their working life, dispose
of batteries paying due attention to the
environment. Batteries contain material
classified as hazardous for you and the
environment. They must be removed
