English 9 Maintenance, Repair and Storage
￭ A typical household electrical circuit is between 15 and
20 amps. A single STIHL AL 1 charger draws
approximately 0.275 amps. To reduce the risk of fire from
overloading an electrical circuit:
– Ensure the electrical system is rated to withstand the
expected electrical draw before charging your
battery.
– Charge multiple batteries one at a time or on
separate circuits, unless you know your circuit can
handle the total expected draw from multiple
chargers.
￭ In case of fire, or if the charger or the battery it is charging
emits smoke, an unusual smell, feels hot or appears
abnormal in any other way:
– Immediately disconnect the charger from the outlet.
Contact the authorities in the event of fire or
explosion.
￭ To reduce the risk of electric shock and other personal
injury or property damage when mounting the charger:
– Ensure that no electrical cables, pipes or other
service lines run behind the wall where the charger
is to be mounted.
– Mount the charger only as described in this manual.
– Remove the battery before mounting the charger.
9.1 Warnings and Instructions
WARNING
￭ There are no user-authorized repairs for the garden
shears, battery or charger. To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock or other personal injury and property
damage:
– Users may carry out only the cleaning and
maintenance operations described in this manual.
– Strictly follow the cleaning and maintenance
instructions in the appropriate sections of this
instruction manual.
– STIHL recommends that all repair work be
performed by authorized STIHL servicing dealers.
￭ Unintentional starting may result in personal injury or
property damage. To reduce the risk of personal injury
and property damage from unintentional starting:
￭ The cutting blades are the only user-serviceable parts of
the garden shears. Proper maintenance will help maintain
cutting performance and reduce the risk of personal injury.
– Wear heavy-duty non-slip work gloves when
handling the cutting blades.
– Keep the cutting blades clean and sharp.
– Tighten all nuts, bolts and screws after each use.
– Never repair damaged cutting blades by welding,
straightening or modifying the shape. This may
cause parts of the cutting blades to experience
uneven or excessive wear or other damage that can
lead to a malfunction or breakage during operation,
resulting in serious or fatal injuries.
9 Maintenance, Repair and Storage
– Remove the battery before inspecting
the garden shears or carrying out any
cleaning, maintenance or repair work,
before storing, and any other time the
garden shears are not in use.
