• 

cutting, high, wet vegetation;

• 

operator behaviour that should be avoided:

• 

switching the machine on and off 

frequently whilst working;

• 

using a cutting means or cutting 

technique that is unsuitable for the 

work to be performed (par. 6.4);

•  cutting speed unsuitable for the 

condition of the grass to be cut.

To optimise battery power reserve 

it is always recommended to:

• 

cut the grass when dry;

•  set a cutting speed suitable for 

the condition of the grass;

• 

use the most appropriate cutting means and 

technique for the work to be performed.

NOTE

The battery charge level can be monitored 

by checking the specific indicator 

located on the hand grip (Fig. 11.C).

If the need arises to use the machine for 

sessions which exceed the capability of 

a standard battery, it is possible to:

• 

choose the second battery (if any) from 

the battery backpack (Fig. 10.B);

•  purchase additional standard batteries 

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 (para. 15.1).

 7.2.2  Battery removal and recharging

1. 

Press the locking button located 

on the battery (Fig. 21.A) and 

remove the battery (Fig. 21.B);

2. 

Fit the battery (Fig. 22.A) in the battery 

charger compartment (Fig. 22.B);

3. 

Connect the battery charger (Fig. 22.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 charger manual.

NOTE

The battery is equipped with a protection device 

that inhibits recharging if the environmental 

temperature is not between 0 and +45°C.

NOTE

The battery can be charged 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. 23.A) from the 

housing in the battery charger (do not keep 

charging when recharging is completed);

2. 

Disconnect the battery charger (Fig. 

23.B) from the electrical mains;

3. 

Insert the battery (Fig. 9) in one of the 

compartments of the battery backpack 

and push it completely, until hearing the 

click that signals its locking in position, 

ensuring thus the electrical contact.

 7.3  CLEANING THE MACHINE 

AND THE ENGINE

• 

Always clean the machine after use with a 

damp cloth dipped in neutral detergent.

• 

Remove all traces of humidity using 

a soft damp cloth. Humidity can 

generate risks of electric shocks.

•  Do not use aggressive detergents or solvents 

to clean the plastic parts or hand grips.

• 

To reduce fire hazards, keep the machine 

and, in particular, the motor free of 

grass, leaves, or excessive grease.

• 

To avoid overheating and damage to the 

engine, always keep the cooling air vents 

(Fig. 1.A) clean and free of debris.

• 

Do not spray water onto the motor 

and electrical components and 

prevent them from getting wet.

 7.4  NUTS AND BOLTS

• 

Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure 

the equipment is in safe working condition.

• 

Check regularly that the 

handles are fixed firmly.
