English
– Operate the charger at ambient
temperatures between + 5°C and
+ 40°C.
– Allow the charger to cool down
normally – do not cover it.
– Never bridge the contacts of the
charger with metallic objects (e.g.
nails, coins, jewelry) – short circuit.
The charger may be damaged by a
short circuit.
– In the event of smoke or fire in the
charger, disconnect it from the wall
outlet immediately.
– To reduce the risk of electric
shock or short circuit, do not
insert any objects in the charger's
cooling slots.
– Do not operate on an easily
combustible surface (e.g. paper,
texiles) or in an easily combustible
environment – risk of fire.
– Do not operate in a hazardous
location, i.e. in a location where
there are combustible liquids
(fumes), vapors or dusts. Chargers
can produce sparks, which may
ignite the dust or vapors – risk of
explosion.
Check the charger's con-
necting cord regularly for
damage. If the power
cord is damaged, imme-
diately disconnect the
plug from the wall outlet
to avoid the risk of elec-
tric shock.

– Never jerk the power cord to
disconnect it from the wall outlet. To
unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
Have a damaged connecting cord
repaired by an experienced
electrician.
– Do not use the connecting cord for
any other purpose, e.g. for carrying
or hanging up the charger.
– Never use connecting cords that do
not comply with regulations.
– To reduce the risk of stumbling,
position and mark the connecting
cord so that it cannot be damaged
or endanger others.
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
– Always connect the cord to a
properly installed wall outlet.
– Make sure the insulation of the
power cord and plug is in good
condition.
After using the charger, unplug it from
the wall socket.
Clothing and Equipment
Wear proper protective clothing and
equipment.
Clothing must be sturdy
but allow complete free-
dom of movement. Wear
snug-fitting clothing, an
overall and jacket combi-
nation, do not wear a
work coat.
Avoid clothing that could get caught on
branches or brush or moving parts of the
machine. Do not wear a scarf, necktie or
jewelry. Tie up and confine long hair
(e.g. with a hair net, cap, hard hat, etc.).
Wear sturdy shoes with
non-slip soles.
Wear safety glasses.
Hearing protection is recommended,
e.g. earplugs or ear muffs.
Wear heavy-duty gloves.
STIHL offers a comprehensive range of
personal protective clothing and
equipment.
Transporting the Power Tool
Always switch off the power tool, move
the retaining latch to ƒ, remove the
battery and fit the blade scabbard – even
when you carry the unit for short
distances. This avoids the risk of the
motor starting unintentionally.
