Protect from rain – do not
immerse in fluids.
Protect from direct sun-
light, heat and fire –
never throw into a fire –
risk of explosion.
Use and store the bat-
tery only in a temperature
range between - 10°C
and + 50°C.
Never expose the battery to
–
microwaves or high pressures.
Never insert objects in the battery's
–
cooling slots.
Never bridge the battery terminals
–
with metallic objects (short circuit).
The battery may be damaged by a
short circuit. Keep a battery that is
not in use away from metal objects
(e.g. nails, coins, jewelry). Do not
use metallic transport boxes.
Fluid may leak from the battery if it is
–
not used properly – avoid contact
with the skin! Leaking battery fluid
can cause skin irritation and
chemical burns. In case of
accidental contact, wash affected
36
areas of skin with plenty of water
and soap. If fluid gets in the eyes, do
not rub – rinse the eyes with plenty
of water for at least 15 minutes. Also
seek medical assistance.
Never open, diassemble or drop the
–
battery. Battery fluid may leak from
damaged cells and cause skin
irritation or serious burns. Shorting
the cells may result in damage to
the battery.
Charger
Use only original STIHL chargers.
–
Only use for charging geometrically
–
matching STIHL batteries with a
maximum capacity of 50 Ah and a
maximum voltage of 42 V.
Never charge defective, damaged
–
or deformed batteries.
Connect the charger only to an
–
easily accessible wall outlet with the
voltage and frequency specified on
the rating plate.
Do not use a defective or damaged
–
charger.
Do not open the charger.
–
Store the charger out of the reach of
–
children.
Protect from rain and
dampness.
Use and store only
indoors in dry locations.
Operate the charger at ambient
–
temperatures between + 5°C and
+ 40°C.
Allow the charger to cool down
–
normally – do not cover it.
Never bridge (short circuit) the
–
contacts of the charger with metallic
objects (e.g. nails, coins, jewelry).
The charger may be damaged by a
short circuit.
In the event of smoke or fire in the
–
charger, disconnect it from the wall
outlet immediately.
To reduce the risk of electric shock
–
or short circuit, do not insert any
objects in the charger's cooling
slots.
Do not operate on an easily
–
combustible surface (e.g. paper,
texiles) or in an easily combustible
environment – risk of fire.
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 con-
necting cord regularly for
damage. If the power
cord is damaged, imme-
diately disconnect the
plug from the wall outlet
to avoid the risk of elec-
tric shock.
