the branch may go during cutting and
the risk of the tree being unstable
after the branch has been cut.
When limbing, it is necessary to
leave the lower, larger branches to
support the trunk on the ground.
Remove the small branches with
a single cut (Fig. 15.A).
It is recommended to cut the tensioned
branches working from the bottom upwards to
prevent the chainsaw from bending (Fig. 15.B).

6.5 STOP

To stop the machine:
• Release the throttle control lever (Fig. 11.A).
After releasing the throttle
control it takes a few seconds for
the toothed chain to stop.
Always stop the machine:
– when moving between work areas.
Do not keep your finger on the throttle
brake button when moving the machine to
avoid accidentally enabling the machine.

6.6 AFTER OPERATION

1. Remove the battery from its housing
and recharge it (par. 7.2.2).
2. Mount the bar cover.
3. Allow the motor to cool before
storing in an enclosed space.
4. Loosen the locking knob of the bar to
reduce the tension of the chain.
5. Carefully remove any dust and debris
and remove all traces of sawdust or oil
deposits from the chain. (par. 7.4).
6. Check there are no loose or damaged
components. If necessary, replace
the damaged components and tighten
any screws and loose bolts.
IMPORTANT Always remove the battery
(par. 7.2.2) and fit the blade guard whenever
the machine is unused or left unattended.

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 hazards.
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". The 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 service centre 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 is mainly influenced by:
a. environmental factors, that cause
higher energy requirements:
– cutting treets 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
