Instructions for Battery-Pow‐
ered Products
This section contains the general safety warn‐
ings and instructions for battery-powered prod‐
ucts.
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 trig‐
ger switch is locked before inserting the bat‐
tery, picking up or carrying the sprayer. Carry‐
ing the sprayer with your finger on the trigger
switch or inserting the battery with the trigger
switch engaged increases the likelihood of
unintended spraying and possible accidents.
■ Remove the battery from the sprayer before
making any adjustments, changing accesso‐
ries, or storing. Such preventive safety meas‐
ures reduce the risk of starting the sprayer
accidentally.
■ Recharge only with the charger specified by
STIHL. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery.
■ Use the sprayer only with the specifically des‐
ignated batteries. Use of any other battery
may create a risk of fire or explosion and per‐
sonal injury or property damage.
■ When the battery is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails or other small metal objects
that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Do not store it in a metal container.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire or explosion.
