7. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

7.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

The safety regulations to follow
are described in chap. 2. Strictly
comply with these instructions to
avoid serious risks or dangers.
Before conducting any inspections,
cleaning or maintenance/adjustment
interventions on the machine:
• Stop the machine;
• Wait until the chain is stationary;
• Remove the battery from its housing;
• Apply the bar cover, except when working
directly on the chain or bar itself;
• Wait until the motor is sufficiently cold;
• Read the relevant instructions;
• Use suitable clothing, protective
gloves and goggles.
• The frequency and types of maintenance
are summarised in the "Maintenance
Table". This table will help you maintain
your machine's safety and performance.
It summarises the main interventions to
be made and the frequency applicable
to each of them. Carry out the relevant
intervention according to the first deadline.
• The use of non-genuine and/or incorrectly
assembled spare parts and attachments
could adversely affect machine operation
and safety. The manufacturer shall
decline all liability in the event of injuries
or damages caused by such parts.
• Genuine spare parts are supplied by
authorised assistance workshops and dealers.
IMPORTANT Any maintenance and
adjustment operations not described in
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 push-button placed in the battery
on the machine (Fig. 21.A) or in the battery
on the backpack (Fig. 22.A) (if provided).
2. remove the battery from the machine
(Fig. 21.B) or from the battery
backpack (Fig. 22.B) (if provided).;
3. fit the battery (Fig. 23.A) in the battery
charger housing (Fig. 23.B);
