WARNING
￭ To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and other
personal injury or property damage:
– Before using the charger, read this instruction
manual and all instructions and warnings on the
charger, battery and product using the battery.
– Use the STIHL AL 301 to charge only genuine STIHL
AK, AP or AR series batteries. Other batteries may
burst, catch fire or explode, resulting in personal
injury and property damage.

cord and plug, with wet hands.
– Never use a damaged charger.
– Never charge malfunctioning, damaged, cracked,
leaking or deformed batteries.
– Never store a battery in the charger.
– 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).
– Keep the charger out of the reach of children.
– Always plug the charger into a properly installed
electrical outlet / power source matching the voltage
and electrical frequency stated on the charger.
– Never use power strips to operate multiple chargers
or other devices from the same electrical outlet or on
the same circuit.
– Do not operate a charger that has received a sharp
or heavy blow, has been dropped or is otherwise
damaged in any way.

circuit:
– Make sure the battery and charger are completely
dry before starting the charging process.
– Never bridge the contacts of the charger with wires
or other metallic objects.
– Do not insert any objects into the charger’s cooling
slots.
￭ The charger heats up during the charging process. To
reduce the risk of fire:
– Do not operate on a combustible surface (e.g.,
paper, cardboard, textiles) or in a combustible
environment.
– Allow the charger to cool down normally. Do not
cover it.
￭ Chargers can produce sparks which may ignite
combustible gases, liquids, vapors, dusts or other
combustible materials. To reduce the risk of fire and
explosion:
– Do not operate in a location where combustible
gases, liquids, vapors, dusts or other combustible
materials are present.
￭ Using a damaged power supply cord or plug may result in
fire, electric shock and other personal injury or property
damage. To reduce these risks:
– Have a damaged power supply cord replaced by an
authorized STIHL servicing dealer.
– Unplug the power supply cord from the electrical
outlet when the charger is 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.
– For indoor use only.
– Keep the charger dry. Protect it from
rain, water, liquids and damp conditions.
Never insert a wet battery or use a wet
charger.
– Check the charger’s power supply cord
and plug regularly for damage. If
damaged, immediately disconnect the
plug from the electrical outlet.
