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 e󰀨ective 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 e󰀨ective 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 qualied person, in order
to protect against hazards.
• The socket for the battery charger cable must have a prescribed earth connection.
• Keep sparks, ames, and incandescent materials at a safe distance from the battery.
• Only carry out the procedure in well ventilated areas and away from open ames.
• 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, rst 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.

WARNING:
• Do not use incompatible battery chargers since they could damage the batteries and
potentially cause a re.
• Keep a safe distance from ames or sparks.
• Before using the battery charger, make sure that the frequency and voltage indicated on the
rating plate match the mains voltage.
• Keep the battery charger's cable at a safe distance from any hot surfaces.
• Do not smoke near the battery charger, during the charging cycle.
• Carefully read the user manual of the battery charger you want to use before recharging.
• Do not attempt to open the battery for any reason whatsoever. Avoid any contact with the
liquid that seeps out of damaged batteries. If necessary, rinse the area of skin which came
into contact with the liquid in water; in case of contact with eyes, rinse thoroughly and seek
medical advice.
• Do not let the battery get dirty or wet.
• The battery must not be exposed to excessive heat (e.g. rays of sunshine, ames, etc.). Do
not leave the battery in places where the temperature could exceed 40°C.
• The battery contacts must not touch metal parts, to avoid any risk of short-circuits.
• The battery must be kept far from metal objects, to avoid any risk of short-circuits.
• Do not throw the battery into the re.
• Do not throw the battery away with domestic waste; respect the disposal regulations in
force in the country where the appliance is used.
• Always recharge the battery at a room temperature between 10°C and 40°C. Recharge the
battery using the power supply unit supplied with the appliance. Do not attempt to recharge
damaged batteries.
• Only use the power supply unit delivered with the appliance to recharge the battery supplied
by the manufacturer or by a specialized technician. Other batteries could explode, causing
harm to people and damage to property.
• Do not use the battery charger in potentially explosive environments.
• The battery charger contacts must not touch metal parts, to avoid any risk of short-circuits.
• Never attempt to recharge the primary cell batteries: danger of explosion.
• Never attempt to recharge damaged batteries.
• Every time you want to use the battery charger and the battery, rst make sure they are
not damaged. Do not use damaged appliances. Have faulty parts repaired by the sta󰀨 of a
technical assistance center.
• Have any faulty supply wires replaced immediately.
• Do not let the power supply unit get dirty or wet.
• Do not open the power supply unit.
