GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
The following symbols are used to indicate any potentially hazardous situations. Always read
this information carefully and take the necessary precautions to protect any people and/or
objects that may be present.
Operator cooperation is paramount for accident prevention. No accident prevention programme
can be effective without the full cooperation of the person directly responsible for the machine's
operation. Most accidents that occur at the workplace, during work activities, or while in transit,
are caused by the failure to respect the most basic safety regulations. An attentive, careful
operator is most effective guarantee against accidents and is fundamental in order to implement
any prevention programme.
DANGER:
indicates an imminent dangerous situation that, unless avoided, will result in
death or serious injuries.
WARNING:
Indicates a potentially dangerous situation that, unless avoided, could cause
death of serious injury.
ATTENTION:
Indicates a potentially dangerous situation that, unless avoided, could
cause slight or moderate injuries.
RECHARGING THE BATTERY
DANGER:
• If the battery charger power cable is damaged or broken, it should be replaced by the
manufacturer or authorized service personnel, or else by another qualified person, in order
to protect against hazards.
• The socket for the battery charger cable must have a prescribed earth connection.
•
Keep sparks, flames, and incandescent materials at a safe distance from the battery.
•
Only carry out the procedure in well ventilated areas and away from open flames.
• Before charging check that the base of the battery charger is not damaged, and if it is
damaged do not use it and contact technical assistance.
• Before starting to charge the batteries, check there is no stagnant water or humidity in the
on-board battery charger socket.
• Before charging check that the electric cable that connects the battery charger to the mains
is not damaged, and if it is damaged do not use it and contact technical assistance.
• Do not disconnect the direct current cable of the battery charger from the socket of the
machine when the battery charger is operating. This is necessary to prevent electric
arcs forming. To disconnect the battery charger when it is charging, first disconnect the
alternating current power cable.
• Recharge the battery (code. 443147) with the battery charger (code. 440807), both included
in the packaging; do not use any other type of battery charger.
• The battery should be removed from the appliance before it has run down.
