4.4 BATTERY RECHARGING AND HANDLING
NOTES
1. The battery must be stored in places with temperatures
between +7°C and +40°C. If the machine is stored in
places that could exceed these threshold, it is recom-
mended to remove the battery and store it in a more
suitable location.
2. During use, the battery is protected against total drain-
age with a protective device that switches off the ma-
chine and stops it from working.
3. The battery is equipped with a guard that inhibits re-
charging if the environmental temperature is not be-
tween 0 and +45 °C.
4. The battery can be recharged at any time, even partially,
with no risk of damaging it.
4.4a Checking the battery charge status
To check the condition of the battery charge status (4),
press the small button (4a) which activates four LED lights
(4b) which indicate the following:
LED Battery power reserve
4 GREEN 100%
3 GREEN 70%
2 GREEN 45%
1 GREEN 10% - Recharge needed
None The battery has less than 10% power re-
serve and needs recharging immediately.
If at least one LED does not come on after
30 minutes charging, the battery is faulty and
needs replacing.

LED that provides information on the battery and charge
status, based on the following chart:
