operation, resulting in serious or fatal inju‐
ries.
■ Use of parts that are not authorized or
approved by STIHL may cause serious or fatal
injury or property damage.
►
STIHL recommends that only identical
STIHL replacement parts be used for repair
or maintenance.
■
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
► Unplug the charger from the electrical outlet
before inspecting or cleaning the charger.
► Regularly check the charger and ensure
that the insulation of the power supply cord
and plug are in good condition and show no
signs of aging (brittleness), wear or dam‐
age.
►
Have a damaged power supply cord
replaced by an authorized STIHL servicing
dealer.
■
To reduce the risk of short circuit and fire:
► Keep the battery guides free of foreign mat‐
ter. Clean as necessary with a dry cloth or
soft, dry brush.
■
Improper storage can result in unauthorized
use, damage to the hedge trimmer, battery
and charger, and an increased risk of fire,
electric shock and other personal injury or
property damage.
►
Remove the battery from the hedge trimmer
before storing.
► Never store the hedge trimmer with the bat‐
tery inserted.

11 Charging the Battery
11.1 Setting up the Charger
WARNING
■ Read and follow the battery and charger
safety precautions and instructions in this
manual, 7 and 8. To reduce the risk of
short circuit, which could lead to electric
shock, fire and explosion, make sure the
charger and its components are dry and not
damaged; operate the charger indoors at an
appropriate ambient temperature, 8.
WARNING
■ A typical household electrical circuit is
between 15 and 20 amps. A single STIHL
AL 101 charger draws approximately
1.3 amps. To reduce the risk of fire from over‐
loading 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.
WARNING
■ Since the battery and charger heat up during
the charging process, do not operate the
charger on a combustible surface or in a loca‐
tion where combustible gases, liquids, vapors,
dusts or other materials and substances are
present,
8.
