6.1.1 Checking the battery
• Before each use:
– check the battery charge status according
to the instructions in the battery booklet.
6.1.2 Using the harness
The machine must always be used
connected to the harness correctly worn
when using the extension rod. Frequently
check the efficiency of the quick release
in order to free the machine quickly
from the belts in the event of danger.
The harness must be put on before
connecting the machine to the special
coupling and the belt must be adjusted
to suit the operator's height and build.
• The belt (Fig. 15.A) must go from
the left shoulder to the right hip.
• Hook the carabiner (Fig. 15.B) to the special
coupling located on the control rod.
• If necessary, release the clip
fastener (Fig. 15.C) to detach the
machine from the harness.
6.1.3 Filling with chain lubrication oil
Fill with chain lubrication oil before using
the machine. For oil filling methods and
precautions (see paragraph 7.3).
6.1.4 Checking the chain tension
Perform all operations
with the motor off.
Check the chain tension.
The tension is correct when the drive links
do not slip out of the chain guides if you hold
the chain in the middle of the bar (Fig. 7).
To adjust the chain tension:
1. loosen the guard knob (Fig. 3.A).
2. turn the chain tension adjuster screw
(Fig. 5.D) to achieve the desired tension;
3. raise the bar and tighten the
knob securely. Fig. 8.A).
Never work with the chain loose,
as it can be hazardous if the chain
slips out of the bar guides.
IMPORTANT During the first period of use
(or after replacing the chain) it must be checked
more frequently due to settling of the chain.
6.1.5 Use of the backpack (if provided)
1. Insert the battery inside one of the
slots provided in the battery backpack
(Fig. 12.) pushing down all the way until
you hear a " click" that locks it in place
and guarantees its electrical contact;
2. connect the cable to the backpack in the
appropriate socket (Fig. 13 A) and turn it
until you hear a " click "that locks it in place
and guarantees its electrical contact;
3. adjust the shoulder straps and fasten
the harness at the front (Fig. 16).
