► Never jerk the power supply cord to discon‐
nect it from the electrical outlet. To unplug,
grasp the plug, not the power supply cord.
► Do not use the power supply cord for carry‐
ing or hanging up the charger.

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 exten‐
sion cord can result in overheating and fire. If

rating lower than the wattage on your
charger's rating plate.

on its plug are different from the blades on
the charger plug in number, size or shape.
► Do not link (chain) extension cords.

charging emits smoke, has an unusual smell,
feels hot or appears abnormal in any other
way:
► Immediately disconnect the charger from
the outlet. Contact the authorities in the
event of fire or explosion.
► Have the charger and blower inspected and
repaired by an authorized STIHL servicing
dealer before use.
■ Operation of the blower is disabled during the
charging process to reduce the risk of electric
shock.
► Do not attempt to operate the blower during
the charging process or any time it is con‐
