5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
5.3 Warnings and Instructions
WARNING
￭ To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and other
personal injury or property damage:
– Before using the charger, read this instruction
manual and all instructions and warnings on the
charger, battery and product using the battery.
– Use the STIHL AL 1 to charge only genuine
STIHL AS series batteries. Other batteries may
burst, catch fire or explode, resulting in personal
injury and property damage.
– For indoor use only.
– Keep the charger dry. Protect it from
rain, water, liquids and damp conditions.
Never insert a wet battery or use a wet
charger.
– Do not handle the charger, including power supply
cord and plug, with wet hands.
– Never use a damaged charger.
– Never charge malfunctioning, damaged, cracked,
leaking or deformed batteries.
– Never store a battery in the charger.
– Operate the charger only indoors, in dry rooms.
– Never operate the charger at ambient temperatures
below - 4 °F (- 20 °C) or above 122 °F (50 °C). For
optimum performance, STIHL recommends
operating the charger within an ambient temperature
range of 41 °F to 86 °F (5 °C to 30 °C).
– Keep the charger out of the reach of children.
– Always plug the charger into a properly installed
electrical outlet matching the voltage and electrical
frequency stated on the charger.
– Never use power strips to operate multiple chargers
or other devices from the same outlet or on the same
circuit.
– Do not operate a charger that has received a sharp
or heavy blow, has been dropped or is otherwise
damaged in any way.
– Do not attempt to repair, open or disassemble the
charger. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
￭ To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire from a short
circuit:
– Make sure the battery and charger are completely
dry before starting the charging process.
– Never bridge the contacts of the charger with wires
or other metallic objects.
– Do not insert any objects into the charger’s cooling
slots.
￭ The charger heats up during the charging process. To
reduce the risk of fire:
– Do not operate on a combustible surface (e.g.,
paper, cardboard, textiles) or in a combustible
environment.
– Allow the charger to cool down normally. Do not
cover it.
￭ Chargers can produce sparks which may ignite
combustible gases, liquids, vapors, dusts or other
combustible materials. To reduce the risk of fire and
explosion:
– Do not operate in a location where combustible
gases, liquids, vapors, dusts or other combustible
materials are present.
￭ Using a damaged power supply cord or plug may result in
fire, electric shock and other personal injury or property
damage. To reduce these risks:
– Check the charger’s power supply cord
and plug regularly for damage. If
damaged, immediately disconnect the
plug from the electrical outlet.
– Have a damaged power supply cord replaced by an
authorized STIHL servicing dealer.
– Unplug the power supply cord from the outlet when
the charger is not in use.

0458-967-8621-A
6 MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND STORAGE
English
– Never jerk the power supply cord to disconnect it
from the electrical outlet. To unplug, grasp the plug,
not the power supply cord.
– Do not use the power supply cord for carrying or
hanging up the charger.
– Make sure the power supply cord is located or
marked so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over,
come in contact with sharp objects or moving parts,
or otherwise be subjected to damage or stress.
￭ An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Overloading an extension cord can result in
overheating and fire. If an extension cord must be used:
– Use only a properly wired 16 gauge (AWG 16) or
heavier gauge extension cord.
– Never connect more than one charger or other
device to an extension cord.
– Never use an extension cord with a wattage rating
lower than the wattage on your charger’s rating
plate.
– Never use an extension cord if the blades on its plug
are different from the blades on the charger plug in
number, size or shape.
– Do not link (chain) extension cords.
￭ 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
and prepare to 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.

► Push the battery (1) into the charger (2) until it stops.
The LED on the charger (3) glows or flashes green when
the battery is charging.
When the LED on the charger goes out, the charging
process is complete and the charger will shut itself off. The
battery can be removed from the charger.
► Disconnect the power supply cord from the electrical
outlet when the charger is not in use.
A battery is not fully charged when it ships from the factory.
STIHL recommends that you fully charge the battery before
using it the first time.
Operate the charger indoors in a dry room. For optimum
performance, STIHL recommends operating the charger
within an ambient temperature range of 41 °F to 86 °F (5 °C
to 30 °C).
The battery heats up during operation. If a hot battery is
inserted into the charger, it may be necessary for it to cool
down before charging starts. The charging process begins
only after the battery has cooled down sufficiently.
Charging time depends on a number of factors, including
battery condition and the ambient temperature. For a
complete list of approximate charging times, see
www.stihl.com/charging-times.
► Mount the charger indoors in a dry room near an electrical
outlet.
► Sink the screws into a wall stud. Use appropriate screw-in
wall anchors or other similar mounting devices if an
appropriate wall stud is not available.
► Align the charger as shown above. Mount to a wall with the
following dimensions:
– a = minimum 18 in. (450 mm)
– b = minimum 3.9 in. (100 mm)
– c = 2.1 in. (54 mm)
– d = 0.2 in. (4.5 mm)
– e = 0.4 in. (9 mm)
– f = 0.1 in. (2.5 mm)
8 LED DIAGNOSTICS
8.1 LED on the Charger
One LED shows the status of the charger and battery. The
LED can glow or flash green or red.
If the LED glows green continuously or flashes
green: the battery is being charged.
7.3 Mounting the Charger on a Wall
