English 6 MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND STORAGE
– Never jerk the power supply cord to disconnect it
from the electrical outlet. To unplug, grasp the plug,
not the power supply cord.
– Do not use the power supply cord for carrying 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 extension 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.
– Never connect more than one charger or other
device to an extension cord.
– 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.
￭ A typical household electrical circuit is between 15 and
20 amps. A single STIHL AL 1 charger draws
approximately 0.275 amps. To reduce the risk of fire from
overloading 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.
￭ In case of fire, or if the charger or the battery it is charging
emits smoke, an unusual smell, feels hot or appears
abnormal in any other way:
– Immediately disconnect the charger from the outlet
and prepare to contact the authorities in the event of
fire or explosion.
￭ To reduce the risk of electric shock and other personal
injury or property damage when mounting the charger:
– Ensure that no electrical cables, pipes or other
service lines run behind the wall where the charger
is to be mounted.
– Mount the charger only as described in this manual.
– Remove the battery before mounting the charger.
6.1 Warnings and Instructions
WARNING
￭ There are no user-authorized repairs for the charger. To
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or other personal
injury and property damage:
– Do not attempt to repair, open or disassemble the
charger. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
– Users may carry out only the cleaning and
maintenance operations described in this manual.
￭ To reduce the risk of electric shock:
– Unplug the charger from the electrical outlet before
inspecting or cleaning the charger.
– Regularly check the electrical contacts of 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 damage.
– Have a damaged power supply cord replaced by an
authorized STIHL servicing dealer.
