Description of Operation

The power tool is operated with a
rechargeable battery. Use only STIHL
chargers to recharge the battery.
Data exchange
The power tool, battery and charger
communicate with each other. The
charger charges the battery and the
battery supplies the necessary power
only if the data exchange functions
properly. For this reason you should
operate your power tool only with the
approved STIHL batteries and STIHL
chargers.
