2.4 MAINTENANCE, STORAGE
Ensure regular maintenance and correct storage to
maintain machine safety and high performance levels.
Maintenance
• Never use the machine with worn or damaged
parts. Faulty or worn-out parts must always
be replaced and never repaired.
• Be careful during adjustment of the machine to prevent
entrapment of the fingers between moving parts of
the cutting means and fixed parts of the machine.
The noise and vibration levels shown in these
instructions are the maximum levels for use of the
machine. The use of an unbalanced cutting element,
the excessive speed of movement, or the absence
of maintenance have a significant influence on
noise emissions and vibrations. Consequently, it
is necessary to take preventive steps to eliminate
possible damage due to high levels of noise and stress
from vibration; maintain the machine well, wear ear
protection devices, and take breaks whilst working.
Storage
• To reduce fire risks, do not leave containers
with debris inside a room.
2.5 BATTERY / BATTERY CHARGER
IMPORTANT The following safety instructions
are in addition to the safety requirements
provided in the specific battery and battery
charger manual delivered with this machine.
• Only use battery chargers recommended by the
manufacturer to recharge batteries. An inadequate
battery charger may cause electric shock, overheating
or corrosive liquid to leak from the battery.
• Use only batteries specifically designed for
your power tool. The use of other batteries
may cause injuries and fire risks.
• Make sure that the machine is switched off before
inserting the battery. Inserting a battery in a
machine which is switched on can cause a fire.
• Keep all unused batteries at a distance from
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects as contact with the same
can cause short circuits. Short circuits between
battery contacts can lead to explosion or fires.
• Do not use the battery charger in places where
there are inflammable vapours, substances
or on easily inflammable surfaces like paper,
fabric, etc. During recharge, the battery charger
becomes heated and may cause fire.
• When transporting batteries, make sure the contacts
never come into contact with each other and
never use metal containers to transport them.
2.6 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Protecting the environment must be a significant and
top priority for machine use, to the benefit of civil co-
habitation and of the environment that we live in.
• Avoid being an element of disturbance to the
surrounding area. Use this machine at reasonable
times of the day only (not early morning or late
evening when the noise could cause disturbance).
• Scrupulously comply with local regulations for the
disposal of packaging, deteriorated parts or any
elements with a strong environmental impact; this
waste must not be disposed of with regular waste,
but must be separated and taken to collection
centres, which will recycle the materials.
• Scrupulously comply with local regulations
for the disposal of waste materials
• When the machine is withdrawn from service,
do not dispose of it in the environment, but take
it to a waste disposal facility in accordance
with the local regulations in force.
Do not throw electrical equipment away with
domestic waste. According to the European
Directive 2012/19/EU on electrical and electronic
equipment waste and its implementation in
compliance with national standards, old
electrical equipment must be collected separately, for eco-
compatible recycling. If electrical equipment is disposed of
in a landfill or in the ground, the harmful substances can
reach the water table and enter the food chain, damaging
your health and well-being. For further information on the
disposal of this product, contact your dealer or a domestic
waste collection service.
At the end of their working life, dispose of batteries
paying due attention to the environment. Batteries
contain material classified as hazardous for you
and the environment. They must be removed and
disposed of separately at a facility that accepts
lithium-ion batteries.
Separate waste collection of the products and
packaging used allows the materials to be
recycled and reused. Reuse of recycled
materials help to prevent environmental pollution
and reduces the demand for raw materials.
