• operator behaviour that should be avoided:
– switching the machine on and off
frequently whilst working;
– a rotor speed not suited to the type of
material to be removed (paragraph 6.4.1).
To optimise battery power reserve
it is always recommended to:
• set a rotor speed suited to the type
of material to be removed.
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;
• purchase a battery with an extended
power reserve compared to the
standard version (par. 14.1).

and electrical components and
prevent them from getting wet.
• Always keep the rotor clean and
free of dust and debris, by blowing
compressed air through the grille.
Do not spray water on the rotor.
• To avoid overheating and damage to the
motor or the battery, always keep the
cooling air vents clean and free of debris.
7.4 NUTS AND BOLTS
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure
the equipment is in safe working condition.
• Check regularly that the
handles are fixed firmly.
