– Do not operate in a hazardous 
location, i.e. in a location where 
there are combustible liquids 
(fumes), vapors or dusts. Chargers 
can produce sparks, which may 
ignite the dust or vapors – risk of 
explosion.
– In the event of smoke or fire in the 
charger, disconnect it from the wall 
outlet immediately.
– Never jerk the connecting cord to 
disconnect it from the wall outlet. To 
unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord. 
Have a damaged connecting cord 
repaired by an experienced 
electrician.
– Do not use the connecting cord for 
any other purpose, e.g. for carrying 
or hanging up the charger.
– Check the connecting cord and plug 
for damage. Never use damaged 
cords and plugs or connecting cords 
that do not comply with regulations.
– To reduce the risk of stumbling, 
position and mark the connecting 
cord so that it cannot be damaged 
or endanger others.
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
– Always connect the unit to a 
properly installed wall outlet.
– Make sure the insulation of the 
connecting cord and plug is in good 
condition.
Clothing and Equipment
Wear proper protective clothing and 
equipment.
Avoid clothing that could get caught on 
branches or brush or moving parts of the 
machine. Do not wear a scarf, necktie or 
jewelry. Tie up and confine long hair 
(e.g. with a hair net, cap, hard hat, etc.).
STIHL offers a comprehensive range of 
personal protective clothing and 
equipment.
Transporting the Unit
Always switch off the power tool, remove 
the battery and fit the blade scabbard – 
even when you carry the unit for short 
distances.
Carry the power tool by the handle – 
cutting blades behind you.
Transporting in a vehicle: Properly 
secure the power tool to prevent 
turnover and damage.
Check the charger's con-
necting cord regularly for 
damage. If the connect-
ing cord is damaged, 
immediately disconnect 
the plug from the wall 
outlet to avoid the risk of 
electric shock.
After using the charger, 
unplug it from the wall 
socket.
Clothing must be sturdy 
but allow complete free-
dom of movement. Wear 
snug-fitting clothing, an 
overall and jacket combi-
nation, do not wear a 
work coat.
Wear sturdy shoes with 
non-slip soles.
Wear safety glasses.
Wear heavy-duty gloves.
Remove the battery from 
the power tool. This 
avoids the risk of the 
motor starting 
unintentionally.
