THE POWER TOOL
For illustrations and definitions of the
power tool parts see the chapter on
"Main Parts."
WARNING
Never modify this power tool in any way.
Only attachments supplied by STIHL or
expressly approved by STIHL for use
with the specific STIHL model are
authorized. Although certain
unauthorized attachments are useable
with STIHL power tools, their use may,
in fact, be extremely dangerous.
If your power tool is subjected to
unusually high loads for which it was not
designed (e.g. heavy impact or a fall),
always check that it is in good condition
before continuing work – see also
"Before Starting Work." Make sure the
controls and safety devices are working
properly. Do not continue operating your
power tool if it is damaged. In case of
doubt, have the machine checked by
your STIHL servicing dealer.
Battery
WARNING
Risk of fire, explosion
and/or burns, including
chemical burns. Do not
disassemble, crush, heat
above 212 °F (100 °C),
expose to fire or inciner-
ate. Never expose the
battery to microwaves or
high pressures.
HTA 65, HTA 85
Do not place the battery on or near fires,
stoves or in other high-temperature
locations. Do not place the battery in
direct sunlight or store it inside a vehicle
in hot weather. Doing so may cause the
battery to generate heat, rupture or
ignite. Using the batteries in this manner
may also result in a loss of performance
and a shortened battery life.
In case of fire: stay clear of any vapors
or gases generated, taking wind
direction into account. If possible without
danger, remove battery from the vicinity
of the fire. In principle, cooling the
battery or extinguishing the fire with
water is possible. It is preferable to
extinguish the fire with a multipurpose
dry chemical fire extinguisher. As for any
fire, evacuate the area and fight the fire
from a safe distance. Once the fire has
been extinguished, the area should be
monitored (fire watch) in case of a flare-
up, until the battery has cooled
sufficiently. Restrict access to the area
until completion of clean-up. Do not
touch the burnt battery or any spilled
liquids. Use inert absorbent to absorb
spilled liquids.
Use and store the bat-
tery only within a
temperature range from
14 °F (-10 °C) up to no
more than 122 °F
(+ 50 °C). Protect the bat-
tery from direct sunlight.
WARNING
Use STIHL batteries only with STIHL
power tools, and charge them only with
STIHL chargers. Replace battery with
STIHL battery only. Use only genuine
STIHL rechargeable batteries.
Charge the battery before use.
Do not immerse the bat-
tery in fluids.
WARNING
Do not open, drop, hit or damage
battery. Never insert objects into the
battery's cooling slots, since they may
damage the battery. The battery
contains safety features and devices
which, if damaged, may cause the
battery to generate heat, rupture or
ignite. Never use or charge a defective,
damaged, cracked or deformed battery.
Immediately discontinue use of the
battery if, while using, charging or
storing, it emits an unusual smell, feels
hot or appears abnormal in any other
way.
WARNING
Fluid may leak from the battery if it is
damaged or is not used properly – avoid
contact with the skin! Leaking battery
fluid can cause skin irritation and
chemical burns. In the event of
accidental contact, immediately rinse
thoroughly with mild soap and water. If
fluid gets into your eye(s), do not rub
your eye(s) but rinse water over the
open eye(s) for 15 minutes at least. Also
seek medical attention immediately.
WARNING
Never bridge (short circuit) the battery
terminals with metallic objects, since this
may damage the battery and possibly
