7.2 BATTERY

7.2.1 Battery power reserve
Battery autonomy is mainly influenced by:
a. environmental factors, that cause higher
energy requirements:
– cutting trees and branches that are too thick;
b. 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 (par. 6.4.2);
To optimise battery power reserve it is always
recommended to:
• cut wood when dry;
• use the most appropriate technique for the work
to be performed
If the need arises to use the machine for sessions
which exceed the capability of a standard battery,
it is possible to:
• purchase a second standard battery to
immediately replace the discharged battery,
without compromising
operations.
7.2.2 Battery removal and recharging
1. Press the push-button placed in the battery
(Fig. 19.A) and removed the battery (Fig.
19.b).
2. Fit the battery (Fig. 20.A) in the battery charger
housing (Fig. 20.B);
3. connect the battery charger to a power outlet
with a voltage corresponding to that indicated
on the rating plate;
4. fully charge the battery according to the
instructions in the battery/battery charger
booklet.
NOTE
The battery is equipped with a guard that inhibits
recharging if the environmental temperature is not
between 4-40 °C.
NOTE
The battery can be recharged at any time, even
partially, with no risk of damaging it.
7.2.3 Refitting the battery in the battery
backpack
When recharging is completed:
1. Remove the battery (Fig. 21.A) from the
housing in the battery charger (do not keep
charging when recharging is completed);
2. Disconnect the battery charger (Fig. 21.B)
from the electrical mains;
