10 Before Starting Work
￭ To reduce the risk of short circuit and fire:
– Keep the battery guides free of foreign matter. Clean
as necessary with a dry cloth or soft, dry brush.
￭ Improper storage can result in unauthorized use, damage
to the garden shears, battery and charger, and an
increased risk of fire, electric shock and other personal
injury or property damage.
– Remove the battery from the garden shears before
storing.
– Never store the garden shears and charger with the
battery inserted.
– Before storing, always unplug the charger from the
electrical outlet and remove the battery.
– Store the garden shears, battery and charger
indoors in a dry, secure place that cannot be
accessed by children or other unauthorized users.
– Never store the battery in the garden shears, in the
charger, in a metal container or in a container with
metal objects (e.g., paper clips, nails, coins, keys).
10.1 Preparing the Garden Shears for Operation
Before starting work:
► Fully charge the battery, @ 11.
► Mount the shrub blades or the grass blades, @ 13.1.
► Check the controls for proper function and condition,
@ 16.
► Check the cutting attachment for damage or other
problems.
11.1 Setting up the Charger
WARNING
Read and follow the safety precautions on the battery and
charger and the warnings and instructions in this manual,
@ 6. 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,
@ 6.
WARNING
A typical household electrical circuit is between 15 and
20 amps. A single STIHL AL 1 charger draws approximately
0.275 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, @ 6.
