0000-GXX-3117-A0 5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 5.3 Connecting Cord WARNING ■ Using a damaged connecting cord may result in fire, electric shock and other personal injury or property damage. To reduce these risks: - Check the battery's connecting cord regularly for damage. If it becomes damaged, immediately disconnect it from the power tool and battery. Never use a damaged connecting cord. - Do not abrade, crush, jerk, or otherwise abuse or misuse the connecting cord. Protect it from heat, oil and sharp edges. - If the connecting cord becomes damaged, have it replaced by an authorized STIHL servicing dealer before use. A damaged connecting cord must be replaced with an identical STIHL replacement part. - Unplug the backpack battery from the power tool when not in use. - Never yank or jerk the connecting cord to disconnect. To unplug the connecting cord from the backpack battery, grasp the battery-side plug, not the connecting cord. - Make sure the connecting cord is positioned and secured so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, come in contact with sharp objects, moving parts, or otherwise be subjected to damage or stress. - Check the AP Adapter, the connecting cord and its plugs for signs of damage. Never use a damaged AP Adapter, connecting cord or plug. - Make sure the insulation of the connecting cord and plugs are in good condition. - Straighten a twisted connecting cord before use. - Position the connecting cord so that it cannot be reached or damaged by the cutting or working attachment of the power tool being used. English - Do not use the connecting cord for any purpose other than providing an electrical connection between the battery and your authorized STIHL power tool. For example, do not use it for carrying or hanging up the battery or power tool. ■ ■ The two ends of the connecting cord are different shapes and use different electrical contacts. The battery-side plug is designed to be inserted into the backpack battery socket. The plug on the other end is to be inserted into an AP Adapter or STIHL power tool with an integrated socket. To reduce the risk of electric shock and damage to the battery and connecting cord: - Never attempt to insert the wrong end of the connecting cord in the battery socket, AP Adapter or power tool (see illustration). 5.4 Using the Backpack Battery WARNING ■ Misuse may result in personal injury and property damage. - Use the battery only as described in this instruction manual. - Never modify the backpack battery in any way. - Use only accessories specifically authorized by STIHL for use with this backpack battery. - Use the battery only with the harness supplied. It must not be combined with any other carrying straps. 0458-794-8621-C 7
