► Have a damaged power supply cord
replaced by an authorized STIHL servicing
dealer.
► Unplug the power supply cord from the out‐
let when the charger is not in use.
► 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.
► 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 exten‐
sion 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.
■ 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. Contact the authorities in the
event of fire or explosion.
