Stihl FSA 65 Instruction Manual page 9

WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock or
short circuit, do not insert any objects
into the charger's cooling slots.
WARNING
The charger heats up during the
charging process. Do not operate on an
easily combustible surface (e.g. paper,
cardboard, textiles) or in an easily
combustible environment – risk of fire.
WARNING
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
power supply cord and
plug regularly for dam-
age. If the power supply
cord or plug is damaged,
immediately disconnect
the plug from the wall
outlet to avoid the risk of
electric shock.
Never jerk the power supply cord to
disconnect it from the wall outlet. To
unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
Have a damaged power supply cord
repaired by an experienced electrician.
Do not use the power supply cord for
any other purpose, e.g. for carrying or
hanging up the charger.
Never use power supply cords that do
not comply with regulations.
FSA 65, FSA 85
Make sure the power supply cord is
located and/or marked so that it will not
be stepped on, tripped over, come in
contact with sharp edges or moving
parts or otherwise be subjected to
damage or stress.
An extension cord should not be used
unless absolutely necessary. If an
extension cord must be used, plug the
charger into a properly wired 16 gauge
(AWG 16) or heavier gauge extension
cord with blades that are the same
number, size and shapes as the blades
on the charger.
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
Always connect the unit to a
–
properly installed wall outlet.
Make sure the insulation of the
–
power supply cord and plug is in
good condition.
Unplug the power supply cord from the
outlet when charger is not in use.
Never store a battery in the charger.
THE USE OF THE POWER TOOL
Transporting the Unit
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control and line contact, never carry or
transport your power tool with the cutting
attachment moving.
WARNING
Always switch off the power tool, move
retaining latch to ? and remove the
battery – even when you carry the unit
for short distances. When transporting it
in a vehicle, properly secure the power
tool to prevent turnover and damage.
Remove the battery from
the power tool. This
avoids the risk of the
motor starting
unintentionally.
It may be carried only in a horizontal
position. Grip the shaft in a manner that
the machine is balanced horizontally.
Keep the cutting attachment behind you.
Before Starting Work
WARNING
Always check your power tool for proper
condition and operation before starting,
particularly the trigger switch, trigger
switch lockout and retaining latch. The
trigger switch and the trigger switch
lockout must move freely and always
spring back to the idle position (retaining
latch on ‚). Never attempt to modify the
controls or safety devices.
WARNING
Never operate your power tool if it is
damaged, improperly adjusted or
maintained, or not completely or
securely assembled.
