English 12 Using a Battery Harness
To determine the battery's state of charge:
► Press the button (1) on the battery.
The LEDs on the battery 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 STIHL AR Backpack Battery
12.1.1 Positioning and Adjusting the Connecting Cord
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from tripping or losing control of
the power tool, always secure the connecting cord through
the backpack guides and with the hook and eye fasteners as
described below. Position and secure the connecting cord
so that it will not interfere with proper working technique or
your ability to maintain control of the power tool.
WARNING
Manage the cord to prevent it from contacting the
cutting/working attachment or catching on objects, which
could cause you to lose balance or control of the power tool,
resulting in serious personal injury and property damage.
The connecting cord can be secured in different positions
and adjusted to suit the height and reach of the operator.
The connecting cord can run through the guide on the
shoulder strap (Illustration A), or along the back
plate (Illustration B). Secure the connecting cord to the
backpack frame with the hook and eye fasteners (1). Always
secure the connecting cord using the guide or hook and eye
fasteners on the side of the body on which the power tool is
held and controlled. Do not allow the connecting cord to
swing across your body or hang at your side.
The length of the connecting cord can be adjusted by
making a loop around the top (Illustration C) or on the side
(Illustration D) of the backpack battery with the hook and eye
fasteners.
