Why does my Stihl Blower not start when switched on?
- W
  Wanda AndersonAug 25, 2025
  There could be several reasons why your Stihl Blower isn't starting. It could be due to: * No electrical contact between the connecting cord and the blower or battery: Disconnect and inspect the cord and contacts, then reconnect. * Low battery charge: Charge the battery. * Battery too hot or cold: Allow the battery to cool down or warm up to between 15°C - 20°C (60°F - 70°F). * Battery fault: Disconnect and reconnect the cord; if the LEDs continue to flash, replace the battery. * Blower overheating: Allow the blower to cool down. * Electromagnetic problem or blower fault: Disconnect and reconnect the cord; if the LEDs still flash, have the blower checked by a servicing dealer. * Moisture in the blower or battery: Allow the blower and battery to dry.

  If the runtime of your Stihl Blower is too short, it could be due to the battery not being fully charged, so ensure the battery is fully charged. Alternatively, the battery's lifespan might be over, requiring a check and possible replacement.

  If your Stihl Blower cuts out during operation, the battery or blower's electronics may be too hot, so allow them to cool down. Alternatively, there may be an electrical or electromagnetic malfunction. In this case, disconnect and reconnect the cord between the battery and blower.

  Brian KaneAug 31, 2025
  The runtime of your Stihl blower may be too short because the battery is not fully charged. Charge the battery to resolve this. Alternatively, the useful life of the battery may have been reached or exceeded. In this case, check the battery and replace it if necessary.

  If your Stihl blower cuts out during operation, it could be due to the battery or blower's electronics overheating. Allow both the battery and blower to cool down. It may also be caused by an electrical or electromagnetic malfunction. Disconnect and reconnect the cord between the battery and blower to resolve this.

What to do if the LED on my Stihl Blower charger flashes red?
- S
  Stephen Brown DDSSep 5, 2025
  If the LED on your Stihl Blower's charger flashes red, it could be due to a few reasons. First, check the electrical contact between the charger and battery by removing and refitting the battery. If four LEDs on the battery flash red for about 5 seconds, remove and refit the battery; if the LEDs continue to flash, the battery is faulty and must be replaced. If none of these resolve the issue, there may be a fault in the charger itself, which should be checked by a servicing dealer.

What to do if my Stihl BGA 100 battery isn't charging but the charger LED is green?
- T
  torresbrianSep 7, 2025
  If the battery of your Stihl Blower is not being charged even though the LED on the charger glows green, the battery may be too hot or too cold (1 LED on the battery glows red). Allow the battery to cool down or warm up slowly to temperatures between 15°C and 20°C (60°F - 70°F). Ensure you operate the charger in enclosed, dry rooms with ambient temperatures between +5°C and +40°C (+40°F and +105°F).

  If the battery jams when being inserted into the charger, or the cord plug jams when inserted into the socket of your Stihl Blower, the guides or contacts might be dirty. Carefully clean the guides and contacts.
