6.7 AFTER USE

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 rod fastening knob
to reduce chain tension.
5. Carefully remove any dust and debris
and remove all traces of sawdust or oil
deposits from the chain (par. 7.4.2).
6. Check there are no loose or damaged
components. If necessary, replace the
damaged components and tighten
any screws and loose bolts.
7. Check there are no damages to
the machine. If necessary contact
the authorised service centre.
IMPORTANT Always remove the battery
(par. 7.2.2) and fit the blade guard whenever
the machine is unused or left unattended.

7. 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 dangers.
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
and recharge it (para. 7.2.2) (never leave
the battery inserted or within the reach
of children or unauthorised persons)
• 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.
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 autonomy is mainly influenced by:
a. environmental factors, that cause
higher energy requirements:
– cutting trees 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
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;
7.2.2 Battery removal and
recharging (Fig.18÷21)
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.
NOTE The battery can be recharged at any
time, even partially, with no risk of damaging it.

7.3 TOPPING UP THE CHAIN OIL TANK

IMPORTANT
oil or adhesive oil for chainsaws. Do
not use oil containing impurities so as
not to block the oil filter and to prevent
irreparable damage to the oil pump.
It is essential that you use good quality oil
to lubricate the cutting parts effectively.
Used or poor quality oil does not
guarantee good lubrication and reduces
the working life of the chain and bar.
