5.3 BATTERY (IF APPLICABLE)
To ensure long life to the battery it is
essential to keep it carefully maintained.
The machine battery must always be charged:
• before using the machine for the
first time after purchase;
• before leaving the machine disused for
a long period (over 30 days) (par. 4.5);
• before starting up the machine after
a prolonged period of inactivity.
Failure in following the procedure or in
charging the battery could permanently
damage the battery elements. A flat battery
must be recharged as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT Recharging must be
done using a battery charger at constant
voltage. Other recharging systems can
irreversibly damage the battery.

To remove the battery:
• Push the button placed above the battery
by making it slide upwards (fig. 6.A).
To recharge the battery:
• Remove the rubber cap placed on
the battery's lower side (fig 7.B)
• connect the battery charger (fig. 7.C)
to a power socket with the voltage
indicated on the rating plate.
• Once the battery is connected the
battery charger's light will light up (fig
7.C): a red light means that the battery
is recharging, whereas a green light
means that the recharging is complete.
NOTE The battery is equipped with a guard
that inhibits recharging if the environmental
temperature is not between 0 and +45 °C.
IMPORTANT The battery can be
charged at any time, even partially,
with no risk of damaging it.
5.3.2 Check the battery charge status
