► Do not operate in a location where combus‐
tible gases, liquids, vapors, dusts or other
combustible materials are present.
■ Using a damaged power supply cord or plug
may result in fire, electric shock and other per‐
sonal injury or property damage. To reduce
these risks:
► 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 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.
10 Maintenance, Repair and
Storage
10.1
Warnings and Instructions
WARNING
■ There are no user-authorized repairs for the
battery, charger or chain saw. To reduce the
22
10 Maintenance, Repair and Storage
risk of fire, electric shock or other personal
injury and property damage:
► Users may carry out only the cleaning and
maintenance operations described in this
manual.
► Strictly follow the cleaning and maintenance
instructions in the appropriate sections of
this instruction manual.
► STIHL recommends that all repair work be
performed by authorized STIHL servicing
dealers.
■ Unintentional starting may result in personal
injury or property damage. To reduce the risk
of personal injury and property damage from
unintentional starting:
► Engage the chain brake by moving
the front hand guard forward to
and remove the battery before
inspecting the chain saw or carrying
out any cleaning, maintenance or
repair work, before storing, and any
other time it is not in use.
■ The bar and chain are the only user-servicea‐
ble parts of the chain saw. Proper mainte‐
nance will help maintain cutting performance
and reduce the risk of personal injury caused
by chain derailment and reactive forces.
► Wear gloves when handling the saw chain.
► Keep the chain, guide bar and sprocket
clean.
► Replace the chain and guide bar when they
become worn or damaged.
► Keep the chain sharp and at proper tension.
► Tighten all nuts, bolts and screws after
each use.
■ Like an automobile brake, the chain brake on
your chain saw incurs wear each time it is
engaged. In order for the chain brake on your
STIHL chain saw to function properly, it must
be properly maintained. Return the chain saw
to your STIHL servicing dealer for periodic
inspection and servicing of the brake system
according to the following schedule:
– Heavy Usage: every 3 months
– Moderate Usage: every 6 months
– Occasional Usage: every 12 months
■ Return the chain saw immediately for mainte‐
nance whenever the brake system cannot be
thoroughly cleaned or there is a change in its
operating characteristics.
■ Use of parts that are not authorized or
approved by STIHL may cause serious or fatal
injury or property damage.
► STIHL recommends that only identical
STIHL replacement parts be used for repair
or maintenance.
