property damage.
■ Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the trigger switch is

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
■ Recharge only with the charger specified by STIHL. A
charger that is suitable for one type of battery may create
a risk of fire when used with another battery.
■ Use the power tool only with the specifically designated
batteries. Use of any other battery may create a risk of fire
or explosion and personal injury or property damage.
■ When the battery is not in use, keep it away from other
