7 Maintenance, Repair and Storage

– Check the charger's power supply cord
and plug regularly for damage. If
damaged, immediately disconnect the
plug from the electrical outlet.
– Replace the charger if the power supply cord
becomes damaged. The power supply cord cannot
be repaired or replaced.
– Unplug the charger from the electrical outlet and
remove it from the blower when not in use.
– Never jerk the power supply cord to disconnect it
from the electrical outlet. To unplug, grasp the plug,
not the power supply cord.
– Do not use the power supply cord for carrying or
hanging up the charger.
– Make sure the power supply cord is located or
marked 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.
￭ An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Overloading an extension cord can result in
overheating and fire. If an extension cord must be used:
– Use only a properly wired 16 gauge (AWG 16) or
heavier gauge extension cord and the cord length
should not exceed 75 ft.
– Never use an extension cord with a wattage rating
lower than the wattage on your charger's rating
plate.
– Never use an extension cord if the blades on its plug
are different from the blades on the charger plug in
number, size or shape.
– Do not link (chain) extension cords.
￭ In case of fire, or if the charger or blower it is charging
emits smoke, has an unusual smell, feels hot or appears
abnormal in any other way:
– Immediately disconnect the charger from the outlet.
Contact the authorities in the event of fire or
explosion.
– Have the charger and blower inspected and repaired
by an authorized STIHL servicing dealer before use.
