allow it to dry completely before charging or storing.
19.1 Trimmer
WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal injury from unintended
activation, never transport the trimmer with the battery
inserted.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control and blade or
line contact, never carry or transport your trimmer with the
cutting attachment moving, @ 5.6.4. Ensure the cutting
attachment has stopped before setting it down, @ 5.6.4.
When transporting the trimmer:
► Adjust the drive tube to its shortest length, @ 13.1.
► When transporting the trimmer by hand, hold the drive
tube in a manner that balances the trimmer horizontally.

the direction in which you are walking.
► When transporting the trimmer in a vehicle, secure and
position it to prevent turnover, impact and damage.

nails, coins, keys), @ 6.
When transporting the battery:
► Place the battery in a non-metal container or carton and
secure it against impact or damage. Never transport the
battery in a metal or other container that is capable of
conducting electricity, or near metal objects (e.g., paper
clips, nails, coins, keys).

and its container to prevent turnover, impact and damage.
STIHL batteries comply with the requirements set forth in

Commercial air, vessel and ground transportation of lithium
ion cells and batteries is regulated. The battery is classified
as a UN 3480, Class 9, packaging group II product. Shipping
it, either as a complete tool or the battery, requires
compliance with all applicable shipping regulations. Check
with the ground, vessel, air cargo or passenger airline to
determine if transport is prohibited or subject to restrictions
or exemptions prior to shipping or travel.
Normally, no further conditions have to be met by the user in
order to transport STIHL batteries by road to the power tool's
operating site. Check and comply with any special
regulations that may apply to your situation.
