Stihl RMA 370 Product Instruction Manual - Page 8

English use away from metal objects (e.g. nails, coins, jewelry). Do not use metal containers for transporting batteries. Store the battery out of reach of children in a cool and dry area away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold (14 °F - 122 °F (-10 °C - +50 °C)). Charger Use only original STIHL chargers. Use only for charging geometrically matching STIHL type AP batteries with a maximum capacity of 10 Ah and a maximum voltage of 42 V. Never charge defective, leaking or deformed batteries. Connect the charger only to a power supply with the voltage and frequency specified on the rating plate. Always connect the charger to a properly installed wall outlet. Never use a charger with damaged housing, damaged power supply cord or damaged plug. Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way. Do not open or dissassemble charger - there are no user serviceable parts inside. Store charger out of the reach of children. Protect the charger from rain and dampness. Keep charger dry. Use and store charger only indoors in dry rooms. Operate charger at temperatures between 41 °F (5 °C) and 104 °F (40 °C). Allow the charger to cool down normally - do not cover it. Never bridge the contacts of the charger with metallic objects (e.g. nails, coins, jewelry) - short circuit. The charger may be damaged by a short circuit. In the event of smoke or fire in the charger, disconnect it from outlet immediately. WARNING To reduce the risk of electric shock or short circuit, do not insert any objects into the charger's cooling slots. WARNING The charger heats up during the charging process. Do not operate on an easily combustible surface (e.g. paper, texiles) or in an easily combustible environment - risk of fire. WARNING Do not operate in a hazardous location, i.e. in a location where there are combustible liquids (fumes), vapors or dusts. Chargers can produce sparks, which may ignite the dust or vapors - risk of explosion. Check the charger's power supply cord and plug regularly for damage. If the power supply cord or plug is damaged, immediately disconnect the plug from the wall outlet to avoid the risk of electric shock. Never jerk the power supply cord to disconnect it from the wall outlet. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord. Have a damaged power supply cord repaired by an experienced electrician. Do not use the power supply cord for any other purpose, e.g. for carrying or hanging up the charger. Never use power supply cords that do not comply with regulations. Make sure the power supply cord is located and/or marked so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, come in contact with sharp edges or moving parts or otherwise be subjected to damage or stress. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. If an extension cord must be used, plug the charger into a properly wired 16 gauge (AWG 16) or heavier gauge extension cord with blades that are the same number, size and shapes as the blades on the charger. To reduce the risk of electric shock: - Always connect the charger to a properly installed wall outlet. - Make sure the insulation of the power supply cord and plug is in good condition. 6 RMA 370
