► Place the chain saw on a level surface.
► Insert the battery (1) into the battery compartment (2) until
it stops.
The battery is properly inserted when you hear an audible
click and the battery is flush with the top of the housing. In
this position, there is electrical contact between the
battery and the chain saw.
Since a new battery is not fully charged, STIHL recommends
that you fully charge the battery before using it the first time,
@ 11.2.
