8.1 General Safety Warnings and Instructions for
Battery-Powered Products
This section contains the general safety warnings and
instructions for battery-powered products contained in
UL 2595 / CSA C22.2 No. 0.23.
WARNING
￭ Read all safety warnings and instructions.
￭ Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, fire, explosion and/or serious injury or
property damage.
￭ Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the trigger switch is
in the off-position before inserting the activation key,
picking up or carrying the blower. Carrying the blower with
your finger on the trigger switch or inserting the activation
key with the trigger switch engaged increases the
likelihood of unintended starting and possible accidents.
￭ Remove the activation key from the blower before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
blower accidentally.
￭ Recharge only with the charger specified by STIHL. A
charger that is suitable for one type of power tool may
create a risk of fire when used with another power tool.
￭ Use the blower only with the integrated battery. Use of any
other battery may create a risk of fire or explosion and
personal injury or property damage.
￭ When the power tool is not in use, make sure that paper
clips, coins, keys, nails and other similar metal objects are
not stored near the blower's charging socket, activation
key socket or other openings. Short circuiting the blower's
battery or charging system may cause burns or a fire or
explosion.
