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.

maintenance
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. 6.5).
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
operations.
