WARNING
■ The battery is not protected against all ambi‐
ent conditions. If the battery is exposed to cer‐
tain environmental conditions, it may catch fire
or explode. This may result in serious injury to
people and damage to property.
► Do not charge the battery below -20°C or
above 50°C.
► Do not use the vacuum shredder or battery
below -20°C or above 50°C.
► Do not store the vacuum shredder or bat‐
tery below -20°C or above 50°C.
20.4
Recommended temperature
ranges
For optimum performance of the vacuum shred‐
der and battery, observe the following tempera‐
ture ranges:
– Charging: 5°C to 40°C
– Use: - 10 °C to + 40 °C
– Storage: - 20 °C to + 50 °C
If the battery is charged, used or stored outside
the recommended temperature ranges, perform‐
ance may be reduced.
0458-828-9621-C
Cause
If the battery is wet or moist, allow the battery to
dry for at least 48 h between 15°C and 50°C and
with less than 70% humidity. Higher humidity
may extend the drying time.

K-value (uncertainty) for sound pressure levels is
2 dB(A). K-value for sound power levels is 2
dB(A). K-value for vibration level is 2 m/s².
STIHL recommends wearing ear defenders.
– Sound pressure level L
measured according to EN 50636-2-100:
83 dB(A).
– Sound pressure level L
according to EN 50636-2-100: 81 dB(A).
– Sound power level L

– Vibration level a
EN 50636-2-100:
– Control handle: 0.8 m/s²
– Loop handle: 1.1 m/s²
The vibration levels indicated were measured
according to a standardized test method and can
be used as a basis for comparing electric power
tools. The vibration levels actually occurring may
vary from the values indicated, depending on the
type of application. The vibration levels indicated
can be used for an initial estimate of the vibration
stress. The actual vibration stress has to be esti‐
mated. The times when the power tool is
switched off and the times when it is switched on
but running under no load can be taken into
account in the estimate.
