Maintenance, Repair And Storage; Warnings And Instructions - Stihl AL 301 Notice D'emploi

6 MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND STORAGE

– Check the charger's power supply cord
and plug regularly for damage. If
damaged, immediately disconnect the
plug from the electrical outlet.
– Have a damaged power supply cord replaced by an
authorized STIHL servicing dealer.
– Unplug the power supply cord from the electrical
outlet when the charger is not in use.
– Never jerk the power supply cord to disconnect it
from the electrical outlet. To unplug, grasp the plug,
not the power supply cord.
– Do not use the power supply cord for carrying or
hanging up the charger.
– Make sure the power supply cord is located or
marked so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over,
come in contact with sharp objects or moving parts,
or otherwise be subjected to damage or stress.
￭ An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Overloading an extension cord can result in
overheating and fire. If an extension cord must be used:
– Use only a properly wired 16 gauge (AWG 16) or
heavier gauge extension cord and the cord length
should not exceed 75 ft.
– Never use an extension cord with a wattage rating
lower than the wattage on your charger's rating
plate.
– Never use an extension cord if the blades on its plug
are different from the blades on the charger plug in
number, size or shape.
– Do not link (chain) extension cords.

￭ A typical household electrical circuit is between 15 and
20 amps. A single STIHL AL 301 draws approximately
4.4 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.
– 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.
￭ In case of fire, or if the charger or the battery it is charging
emits smoke, has an unusual smell, feels hot or appears
abnormal in any other way:
– Immediately disconnect the charger from the outlet
and prepare to contact the authorities in the event of
fire or explosion.
￭ To reduce the risk of electric shock and other personal
injury or property damage when mounting the charger:
– Ensure that no electrical cables, pipes or other
service lines run behind the wall where the charger
is to be mounted.
– Mount the charger only as described in this manual.
– Remove the battery before mounting the charger.
