INSTRUCTIONS
7.1 Setting up the Charger
WARNING
Read and follow the safety precautions on the battery and
charger and the warnings and instructions in this manual,
@ 5. To reduce the risk of short circuit, which could lead to
electric shock, fire and explosion, make sure the charger
and its components are dry and not damaged; operate the
charger indoors at an appropriate ambient temperature,
@ 5.
WARNING
A typical household electrical circuit is between 15 and
20 amps. A single STIHL AL 301 draws approximately
4.4 amps. To reduce the risk of fire from overloading an
electrical circuit:
► Ensure the electrical system is rated to withstand the
expected electrical draw before charging your battery.
► Charge multiple batteries one at a time or on separate
circuits, unless you know your circuit can handle the total
expected draw from multiple chargers.
WARNING
Since the battery and charger heat up during the charging
process, do not operate the charger on a combustible
surface or in a location where combustible gases, liquids,
vapors, dusts or other materials are present, @ 5.
To set up the charger:
► Insert the plug (3) into a properly installed electrical
outlet (4) matching the voltage and electrical frequency
stated on the charger's rating plate.
The charger runs a self-test immediately after it is plugged
in. The LED (1) will glow green for about 1 second, then it
will glow red briefly before going out. Once the LED goes
out, the self-test is complete and the charger is ready to
charge the battery.
► Position the power supply cord (2) 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.
7.2 Charging
WARNING
STIHL batteries contain safety features and devices which,
if damaged, may allow the battery to generate heat, rupture,
leak, ignite or explode. Never charge a malfunctioning,
damaged, cracked, leaking or deformed battery or use a
charger that has been damaged, @ 5. Make sure the
