► Insert the plug (4) into a properly installed wall outlet (5)
matching the voltage and electrical frequency stated on
the charger's rating plate (1).
The charger runs a self-test immediately after it is plugged
in. The charger LED (2) will glow green for about
1 second, then it will glow red briefly before going out.
Once the self-test is complete, the charger is ready to
charge the battery.
► Position the power supply cord (3) so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, come in contact with sharp
objects or moving parts or otherwise be subjected to
damage or stress.

1
► Push the battery (2) into the charger (3) until it stops.
The LED on the charger (4) glows green when the battery
is being charged.
The LEDs (1) on the battery glow green and show the
state of charge.
The charging process is complete when the LED on the
charger and the LEDs on the battery go out.
The charger turns itself off when the battery is fully
charged.
► Remove the battery from the charger and disconnect the
power supply cord from the wall outlet when charging is
complete.
A factory-new battery is not fully charged. STIHL
recommends that you fully charge the battery before using it
for 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 trimmer. If a hot
battery is inserted into the charger, it may be necessary for
it to cool down before charging. 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/
