0458-511-8621-C
5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
English
– 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 wall 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.
– Never jerk the power supply cord to disconnect it
from the wall outlet. To unplug, grasp the plug, not
the power supply cord.
– Do not use the power supply cord for any other
purpose, e.g., 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 500 charger draws
approximately 4.8 amps. A single AL 300 draws
approximately 4.4 amps and an AL 101 approximately
1.3 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.

6 MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND STORAGE
￭ 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.

To set up the charger:
► Insert the plug (4) into a properly installed wall outlet (5)
matching the voltage and electrical frequency stated on
the charger's rating plate (1).
The charger runs a self-test immediately after it is plugged
in. The LED (2) will glow green for about 1 second, then it
will glow red briefly before going out. Once the self-test is
complete, the charger is ready to charge the battery.
► Position the power supply cord (3) 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.
7.2 Charging
WARNING
Never charge a malfunctioning, damaged, cracked, leaking
or deformed battery or use a charger that has been
damaged, @ 5. Make sure the charger and the battery to be
charged are both completely dry before charging, @ 5.3.
To charge the battery:
► Push the battery (2) into the charger (3) until it stops.
The LED on the charger glows green when the battery is
being charged.
The LEDs (1) on the battery glow green and show the
state of charge.
When the LEDs on the battery go out, the charging
process is complete and the charger will shut itself off.
► Remove the battery from the charger and disconnect the
power supply cord from the wall outlet.
A factory-new battery is not fully charged. STIHL
recommends that you fully charge the battery before using it
for the first time.
The STIHL AL 300 and AL 500 chargers are equipped with
an integrated fan. The fan may switch on and off
automatically while charging the battery.
Operate the charger only indoors, in dry rooms and within an
ambient temperature range of 41 °F to 104 °F (5 °C to
40 °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. 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.

7.3 Mounting the Charger on a Wall
When mounting, ensure that no electrical cables, pipes or
other service lines run in the wall behind the charger.
To mount the wall charger:
► Mount the charger indoors in a dry room near a wall 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 3.9 in. (100 mm)
– b (for AL 101) = 3.0 in. (75 mm)
– b (for AL 300 and AL 500) = 4.7 in. (120 mm)
– c = 0.2 in. (4,5 mm)
– d = 0.4 in. (9 mm)
– e = 0.1 in. (2,5 mm)
If the LED glows green continuously: the battery
is being charged.
or
The battery is too hot or too cold for charging. To
determine, check the LEDs on the battery. If
there is one glowing red light, allow the battery to
warm up or cool down gradually at an ambient
temperature of about 50 °F to 68 °F (10 °C to
20 °C).
If the LED flashes red: there is no electric contact
between the battery and the charger. Remove
and reinsert the battery.
or
The battery has a malfunction and must be
replaced. Check the LEDs on the battery. Do not
use or charge a battery if its LEDs indicate a
malfunction.
or
The charger has a malfunction. Have it checked
by an authorized STIHL servicing dealer before
use.
