■ To reduce the risk of electric shock:
► Unplug the charger from the electrical outlet
before inspecting or cleaning the charger.
► Regularly check the charger and ensure
that the insulation of the power cord and
plug are in good condition and show no
signs of aging (brittleness), wear or dam‐
age.
► Have a damaged power supply cord
replaced by an authorized STIHL servicing
dealer.
■ To reduce the risk of short circuit and fire:
► Keep the battery guides free of foreign mat‐
ter. Clean as necessary with a dry cloth or
soft, dry brush.
■ Improper storage can result in unauthorized
use, damage to the chain saw, battery and
charger, and an increased risk of fire, electric
shock and other personal injury or property
damage.
► Engage the chain brake by moving the front
hand guard forward to
battery from the chain saw before storing.
► Never store the chain saw with the battery
inserted.
► When storing the battery, maintain a charge
of 40 % to 60 % (2 green LEDs).
► If storing the battery in the charger, discon‐
nect the charger from the outlet.
► Store the chain saw, battery and charger
indoors in a dry, secure place that cannot
be accessed by children or other unauthor‐
ized users.
► Never store the battery in the chain saw or
in a container with small metal objects
capable of conducting electricity (e.g.,
paper clips, nails, coins, keys).
NOTICE
■ Always release tension on the chain after fin‐
ishing work. The chain contracts as it cools
down. If it is not slackened, it can damage the
drive shaft and bearings. Properly re-tension
the chain before using the saw again.

Setting up the Charger
WARNING
■ Read and follow the battery and charger
safety precautions and instructions in this
manual,
8 and
short circuit, which could lead to electric
shock, fire and explosion, make sure the
charger and its components are dry and not
damaged; operate the charger indoors at an
appropriate ambient temperature,
WARNING
■ A typical household electrical circuit is
between 15 and 20 amps. A single STIHL
AL 101 charger draws approximately
1.3 amps. To reduce the risk of fire from over‐
loading an electrical circuit:
► Ensure the electrical system is rated to
withstand the expected electrical draw
before charging your battery.
► 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.
WARNING
■ Since the battery and charger heat up during
the charging process, do not operate the
charger on a combustible surface or in a loca‐
tion where combustible gases, liquids, vapors,
dusts or other materials and substances are
present,
