English 11 LED Diagnostics
Operation of the hedge trimmer is disabled during charging
and any time the hedge trimmer is connected to the charger.
11.1 Hedge Trimmer Status
LEDs on the hedge trimmer show the status of the power
tool and its integrated battery.
If three LEDs glow red continuously: the integrated battery
is either too hot or too cold. Allow the hedge trimmer to warm
up or cool down gradually at an ambient temperature of
about 50°F to 68°F (10°C to 20°C).
If three LEDs flash red when you activate the switch lever
and trigger switch: the hedge trimmer has an electrical
malfunction. Do not operate or charge the hedge trimmer.
Have it checked by an authorized STIHL servicing dealer
before use or storage.
For troubleshooting information, @ 21.
11.2 Charge Status
The LEDs also show the hedge trimmer's state of charge.
To determine the hedge trimmer's state of charge:
► Press the push button(1) on the hedge trimmer.
The LEDs on the hedge trimmer will glow or flash green
for about 5seconds and indicate the state of charge (see
illustration).
For example:
If four green LEDs glow continuously: full charge.
If one green LED is flashing: less than 20 % charge.
12.1 Inserting the Activation Key
WARNING
To reduce the risk of severe personal injury from unintended
activation, never store the activation key in the hedge
trimmer.
To insert the activation key:
► Place the hedge trimmer on a level surface.
► Insert the activation key (1) into the activation key
socket(2) with even, steady pressure until it stops.
Inserting the activation key enables the flow of electrical
power from the integrated battery to the motor.
