6 Battery Safety - Never expose the battery to microwaves or high pressures. - Never insert objects into the battery's cooling slots. ■ Extreme temperatures may cause the battery to generate heat, rupture, leak, ignite or explode, resulting in severe or fatal personal injury and property damage. Exposure to temperatures outside the recommended temperature range may also reduce battery life and performance. - Use and store the battery only within an ambient temperature range of 14 °F to 122 °F (-10 °C to 50 °C). - Never store the battery in direct sunlight or inside a vehicle in hot weather. ■ 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. 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: - Keep STIHL AR 900,1000, 2000, 3000 backpack batteries dry. Protect from rain, water and other liquids. Attach the rain cover to a STIHL AR 1000, 2000, 3000 battery before starting work in rain or in very damp conditions. - If a STIHL AP or AR L 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 any STIHL 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 metal objects (e.g., paper clips, nails, coins, keys). English - Never transport or store the battery in a metal container. - 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. - Protect the battery from exposure to conductive liquids such as salt water. - Do not attempt to repair, open or disassemble the battery. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. ■ Leaking battery fluid is potentially harmful and can cause skin and eye irritation, chemical burns and other serious personal injury. - Avoid contact with skin and eyes. - Use an inert absorbent such as sand on spilled battery fluid. - 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 multi-purpose dry chemical fire extinguisher is preferable. - Consult the fire department regarding proper disposal of a burned battery. 0458-833-8621-A 15
