Inspect the adapter, the adapter's
contacts and the cable for damage at
regular intervals. If any damage is found,
contact your STIHL servicing dealer. Do
not continue using a faulty, damaged,
cracked or deformed battery, cable or

Fluid may leak from the battery if it is
damaged or not used properly – avoid
contact with the skin! Leaking electrolyte

your eyes, do not rub your eyes – rinse
them with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Also seek medical attention.
