Use the battery only with the harness
provided – do not combine with other
carrying straps (e.g. shoulder strap, full
harness, etc.).
Do not place the battery on raised
surfaces or hang it up (e.g. on branches)
– it may fall down.
Never sit or stand on the battery. Never
place objects on the battery – do not
stack several batteries on top of one
another.
Protect the battery from direct sunlight
when it is not in use.
Never expose the battery to microwaves
or high pressures.
Never insert objects in the battery's
cooling slots.
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
adapter.
Never bridge the adapter's contacts with
metallic objects (short circuit). The
battery may be damaged by a short
circuit. Keep a battery that is not in use
away from metal objects (e.g. nails,
coins, jewelry). Do not use metallic
transport boxes.
Fluid may leak from the battery if it is
damaged or not used properly – avoid
contact with the skin! Leaking electrolyte
can cause skin irritation and chemical
burns. In the event of accidental contact,
wash affected areas of skin thoroughly
with soap and water. If fluid gets into
your eyes, do not rub your eyes – rinse
them with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Also seek medical attention.
Transporting the battery
Disconnect the battery from the power
tool – even when carrying it for short
distances. This avoids the risk of
accidental startup.
Carry the battery by the handle or on
your back.

Do not use a pressure washer to clean
your battery. The solid jet of water may
damage parts of the battery and cause
malfunctions.
Protect from rain – do not
immerse in fluids.
Protect from heat and fire
– never throw into a fire –
risk of explosion.
Use and store the bat-
tery only in a temperature
range between -10°C
and + 50°C.
