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 retainer tab in the
battery compartment (Fig. 9.B) and
remove the battery (Fig. 9.C);
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
recharging when recharging is completed);
2. Disconnect the battery charger
(Fig. 24.B) from the mains;
3. Fit the battery (Fig. 9.C) in its
housing pressing down until you
hear it click firmly into position and
check the electrical contact;

7.3 TOPPING UP THE CHAIN OIL TANK

NOTE The following symbol is found
on the chain oil tank cap (fig. 25.A) :
Chain oil tank
IMPORTANT Only use chain saw
oil or adhesive oil for chain saws. 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 chain saw 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.
