parts and accessories in order to avoid
the risk of accidents and damage to the
machine.
STIHL recommends the use of original
STIHL replacement parts. They are
specifically designed to match your
model and meet your performance
requirements.
The deflector on this power tool cannot
protect the operator from all objects
thrown by the cutting attachment
(stones, glass, wire, etc.). Such objects
may ricochet and then hit the operator.
Never attempt to modify your tool in any
way since this may increase the risk of
personal injury. STIHL excludes all
liability for personal injury and damage
to property caused while using
unauthorized attachments.
Do not use a pressure washer to clean
the unit. The solid jet of water may
damage parts of the unit.
STIHL Electric Starter
Battery, Control Unit
The battery is recharged while the power
tool is running – the power tool is always
ready to start.
– The battery cannot be replaced – it
is integrated in the control unit.
Never open the control unit to
access the battery.
– Protect the control unit from direct
sunlight, heat and fire – never throw
it into a fire – risk of explosion.
– Protect the control unit from rain –
do not immerse it in fluids.
FR 480 C
– Never expose the control unit to
microwaves or high pressures.
– Fluid may leak from the battery if it is
not used properly – avoid contact
with the skin! If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Leaking battery fluid
can cause skin irritation and
chemical burns.
– Store the power tool at a
temperature between 10°C and
25°C. If the power tool is stored at
temperatures below 5°C it may cool
down to a point where a start is
inhibited to protect the battery.

supply units.
– Connect the power supply unit only

location, i.e. in a location where
there are combustible liquids
(fumes), vapors or dusts.
– In the event of smoke or fire in the
power supply unit, disconnect it
from the wall outlet immediately.
– Check the power supply unit's
connecting cord regularly for
damage. If the connecting cord is
damaged, immediately disconnect
the plug from the wall outlet to avoid
the risk of electric shock.
– Never use damaged cords and
plugs or connecting cords that do
not comply with regulations.
