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 power reserve (and therefore
the cuttable surface before recharging
is required) mainly depends on:
a. operator behaviour that should be avoided:
– switching the machine on and off
frequently whilst working;
– a rotor speed not suited to the type of
material to be removed (paragraph 6.4.1).
To optimise battery power reserve
it is always recommended to:
• set a rotor speed suited to the type
of material to be removed.
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;
• purchase a battery with an extended
power reserve compared to the
standard version (par. 14.1).
7.2.2 Battery removal and recharging
1. Press the retainer tab in the battery
(Fig. 6.A), and remove the battery (Fig.
6.B) from its housing in the machine;
2. fit the battery (Fig. 7.A) in the battery
charger housing (Fig. 7.B);
3. connect the battery charger (Fig. 7.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.
