this manual must be carried out by your
dealer or Authorised Service Centre.

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
the continuity of operations;
7.2.2 Battery removal and recharging
1. Press the lock buttons in the
battery (Fig. 10.B) and remove it
from its housing (Fig. 10.A);
2. Fit the battery (Fig. 23.A) in the battery
charger housing (Fig. 23.B);
3. Connect the battery charger (Fig. 23.B)
to a power socket with the voltage
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 0 and +45 °C.
NOTE The battery can be recharged at any
time, even partially, with no risk of damaging it.
7.2.3 Refitting the battery on the machine
When recharging is completed:
1. Remove the battery (Fig. 24.A) from the
housing in the battery charger (do not keep
charging when recharging is completed);
2. Disconnect the battery charger
(Fig. 24.B) from the mains;
3. Fit the battery (Fig. 10.A) in its housing
pressing down until you hear it click firmly into
position which ensures the electrical contact;

7.3 TOPPING UP THE CHAIN OIL TANK

IMPORTANT Only use chainsaw
oil or adhesive oil for chainsaws. Do
not use oil containing impurities so as
not to block the oil filter and to prevent
irreparable damage to the oil pump.
It is essential that you use good quality oil
to lubricate the cutting parts effectively.
Used or poor quality oil does not
guarantee good lubrication and reduces
the working life of the chain and bar.
IMPORTANT Never run the chain
without sufficient oil, this could damage
the saw and compromise safety.
Check the amount of oil in the chainsaw by
checking the oil level indicator (Fig. 25.B).
If the oil level is low, top up as follows:
1. Unscrew and remove the cap
(Fig. 25.A) from the oil tank.
2. Pour oil in the tank and monitor the
level on the indicator (Fig. 25.B).
3. Make sure no impurities penetrate
the oil tank when filling.
4. Screw on the oil cap and tighten it.

7.4 CLEANING

7.4.1 Cleaning the machine and the motor
After every work session, clean the machine
thoroughly to remove all dust and debris.
• To reduce fire hazards, keep the machine
and, in particular, the motor free of
leaves, branches or excessive grease.
• Always clean the machine after use with a
damp cloth dipped in neutral detergent.
• Remove all traces of humidity using
a soft damp cloth. Humidity can
generate risks of electric shocks.
• Do not use aggressive detergents or solvents
to clean the plastic parts or hand grips.
