To reduce the risk of injury, follow the specified safety precautions. Read and follow all safety precautions, including those in the charger's instruction manual and the manual for the STIHL tool powered by this battery. Improper use can lead to serious or fatal personal injury or property damage. 2 Battery Safety WARNING ■ STIHL AP series batteries are designed only to power compatible STIHL power tools. Use for other purposes could result in personal injury or property damage. ■ Use of unauthorized chargers can result in fire or explosion. - Charge only with compatible STIHL AL series chargers. ■ The battery contains safety features and devices which, if damaged, may allow the battery to generate heat, rupture, leak, ignite or explode. - Never heat the battery above 212 °F (100 °C). - Never incinerate or place the battery on or near fires, stoves or other hightemperature locations. - Never use or charge a malfunctioning, damaged, cracked, leaking or deformed battery. - Never open, disassemble, crush, drop, subject to heavy impact or otherwise damage the battery. - Never expose the battery to microwaves or high pressures. - Never insert objects into the battery's cooling slots. ■ Extreme temperatures can damage the battery and may also cause it to generate heat, rupture, leak, ignite or explode, resulting in severe or fatal personal injury or property damage. Never charge, use or store the battery outside the ambient temperature limits specified below. - Do not charge the battery below - 4 °F (- 20 °C) or above 122 °F (50 °C). - Do not use the battery below - 4 °F (- 20 °C) or above 122 °F (50 °C). - Do not store the battery below - 4 °F (- 20 °C) or above 158 °F (70 °C). ■ For optimum performance, observe the following ambient temperature ranges for the battery: - Charging:41 °F to 104 °F (5 °C to 40 °C) - Use: 14 °F to 104 °F (- 10 °C to 40 °C) - Storage: - 4 °F to 122 °F (- 20 °C to 50 °C) Charging, using or storing the battery outside the recommended ambient temperature ranges may reduce performance. ■ To reduce the risk of personal injury and property damage in the event the battery emits smoke, an unusual smell or feels unusually hot while using, charging or storing: - Immediately discontinue using or charging the battery. Prepare to contact the authorities in the event of fire or explosion. ■ To reduce the risk of a short circuit, which could lead to electric shock, fire and explosion: - If the battery has been exposed to rain during work, remove it from the product and allow it to dry indoors. Make sure it is completely dry before charging or using. - Never immerse the battery in water or other liquids. - Never bridge the battery terminals with wires or other metallic objects. - Keep a battery that is not in use away from small metal objects capable of conducting electricity (e.g., paper clips, nails, coins, keys). - Store the battery indoors in a dry room. - Never store the battery in damp or corrosive environments or in conditions that could lead to corrosion of its metal components. - Protect the battery from exposure to corrosive agents such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts. - Never store the battery in the power tool. - When storing the battery, maintain a carge of 40 % to 60 % (2 green LEDs). - If storing the battery in the charger, disconnect the charger from the outlet. - Do not attempt to repair, open or disassemble the battery. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. - To reduce the risk of personal injury from unintended activation, always remove the battery before assembling, transporting, adjusting, cleaning, servicing, maintaining or storing the power tool. ■ Leaking battery fluid can cause skin and eye irritation or chemical burns. - Avoid contact with skin and eyes. - Use an inert absorbent such as sand on spilled liquids. - In the event of accidental contact, immediately rinse the contact area thoroughly with mild soap and water. - If fluid gets into your eye(s): Do not rub. Rinse water over the open eye(s) for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention. ■ A battery fire can be dangerous. To reduce the risk of severe personal injury and property damage in the event of fire: - Evacuate the area. Fire can spread rapidly. Stay clear of any vapors generated and maintain a safe distance. - Contact the fire department. - Although water can be used to put out a battery fire, use of a multipurpose dry chemical fire extinguisher is preferable. - Consult the fire department regarding proper disposal of the burned battery. ■ Dropping the battery could result in personal injury or property damage. To prevent the battery from falling during removal: - Place the power tool on a level surface and use care when ejecting the battery. 3 LED Diagnostics Four LEDs show the status of the battery. These LEDs can glow or flash green or red. The green lights indicate the status of the charge, with four continuously glowing green lights indicating a full charge. If one green LED is flashing, less than 20% of the battery's charge remains. If one LED glows red continuously: the battery is either too hot or too cold. Allow the battery 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 glow red continuously: the power tool motor is too hot. Allow the motor to cool down. If three LEDs flash red: there is a problem with the power tool. Do not operate. Have the power tool checked by an authorized STIHL servicing dealer. If all four LEDs flash red: the battery has a malfunction and must be replaced. Do not attempt to charge or use the battery. 4 Charging Operate the charger only indoors, in dry rooms and within an ambient temperature range of 41 °F to 104 °F (5 °C to 40 °C). For AL 301-4 charger only: You may install and operate the STIHL AL 301-4 charger in an enclosed, dry vehicle. Always read and follow the instructions and safety information for your charger. 5 Storing Remove the battery from the power tool when not in use. If storing the battery in the charger, disconnect the charger from the outlet. Store the battery indoors away from children and other unauthorized users. Keep the battery dry. Store the battery only within an ambient temperature range of - 4 °F to 122 °F (- 20 °C to 50 °C), with a charge of 40 % and 60 % (2 green LEDs). Exposure to temperatures outside the recommended range may reduce battery life and performance. Use spare batteries in rotation. 6 Bluetooth® Interface A battery with this symbol is equipped with Bluetooth® and can be used with the STIHL connected App. Turning On/Off: Press and hold the button on the battery for about 3 seconds. If the Bluetooth® LED next to the connected symbol glows blue for about 3 seconds, the battery's Bluetooth® interface is on. If the Bluetooth® LED flashes blue six times, the Bluetooth® interface is off. Connecting to the STIHL connected App: ► Turn on your mobile device's Bluetooth® interface. ► Turn on the battery's Bluetooth® interface. ► Download the STIHL connected App from Google Play or the App Store (Illustration 1). ► Follow inapp instructions for creating a new user account (Illustration 2 and 3). Returning users should log in using their existing account information. ► Follow the step-by-step instructions for adding the battery to your equipment list (Illustration 4). If the battery cannot be found with the STIHL connected App: ► Activate the Bluetooth® interface on your battery and mobile device. ► Reduce the distance between the battery and your mobile device. If the battery still cannot be found with the STIHL connected App, contact a STIHL servicing dealer for assistance. Bluetooth® Specifications: Data transmission protocol Bluetooth® 5.1.

Even if believed to be discharged, lithium ion batteries may never totally discharge and still may deliver a dangerous short circuit current. If damaged or exposed to high temperatures, they may leak, generate heat, catch fire or explode. ► Observe all federal, state and local disposal rules and regulations. ► Contact your authorized STIHL servicing dealer for the latest information on waste disposal. ► Recycle depleted batteries promptly. ► Keep batteries away from children. Do not disassemble and do not dispose of in fire. STIHL has partnered with the RBRC (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) to promote the collection and recycling of spent STIHL lithium ion batteries in the United States and Canada. The RBRC seal indicates that STIHL has prepaid for battery recycling. RBRC has a toll free phone number (1-800822-8837) that connects you to information on battery recycling locations and information on battery disposal bans or restrictions in your area.
