A battery is not fully charged when it ships from the factory.
STIHL recommends that you fully charge the battery before
using it the first time.
Operate the charger only indoors, in dry rooms and within an
ambient temperature range of 41 °F to 104 °F (5 °C to
40 °C).
The battery heats up during operation of the garden shears.
If a hot battery is inserted into the charger, it may be
necessary for it to cool down before charging starts. The
charging process begins only after the battery has cooled
down sufficiently.
Charging time depends on a number of factors, including
battery condition and ambient temperature. For a complete
list of approximate charging times, see www.stihl.com/
