Other batteries may burst, catch fire or explode, resulting in personal injury and property damage. - For indoor use only. - Keep the charger dry. Protect it from rain, water, liquids and damp conditions. Never insert a wet battery or use a wet charger. - Do not handle the charger, including power supply cord and plug, with wet hands. - Never use a damaged charger. - Never charge malfunctioning, damaged, cracked, leaking or deformed batteries. - Never store a battery in the charger. - 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). - Keep the charger out of the reach of children. - Always plug the charger into a properly installed electrical outlet matching the voltage and electrical frequency stated on the charger. - Never use power strips to operate multiple chargers or other devices from the same outlet or on the same circuit. English - Do not operate a charger that has received a sharp or heavy blow, has been dropped or is otherwise damaged in any way. - Do not attempt to repair, open or disassemble the charger. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. ■ To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire from a short circuit: - Make sure the battery and charger are completely dry before starting the charging process. - Never bridge the contacts of the charger with wires or other metallic objects. - Do not insert any objects into the charger's cooling slots. ■ The charger heats up during the charging process. To reduce the risk of fire: - Do not operate on a combustible surface (e.g., paper, cardboard, textiles) or in a combustible environment. - Allow the charger to cool down normally. Do not cover it. ■ Chargers can produce sparks which may ignite combustible gases, liquids, vapors, dusts or other combustible materials. To reduce the risk of fire and explosion: - Do not operate in a location where combustible gases, liquids, vapors, dusts or other combustible materials are present. ■ Using a damaged power supply cord or plug may result in fire, electric shock and other personal injury or property damage. To reduce these risks: - Check the charger's power supply cord and plug regularly for damage. If damaged, immediately disconnect the plug from the electrical outlet. - Have a damaged power supply cord replaced by an authorized STIHL servicing dealer. - Unplug the power supply cord from the outlet when the charger is not in use. 0458-008-8601-A 13
