6 Charging the Battery, LEDs
■ Aggressive cleaning agents, a water jet or
pointed objects can damage the trimmer,
deflector, cutting attachment, battery and the
charger. If the trimmer, deflector, cutting
attachment, battery or charger are not cleaned
correctly, components may no longer function
properly or safety devices may be rendered
inoperative. They may cause serious injury to
persons.
► Clean the trimmer, deflector, cutting attach‐
ment, battery and charger as described in
this instruction manual.
■
If the trimmer, deflector, cutting attachment,
battery and charger are not properly serviced
or repaired, components may no longer func‐
tion properly or safety devices may be ren‐
dered inoperative. This may result in serous or
fatal injury to people.
►
Do not attempt to service or repair the trim‐
mer, deflector, cutting attachment, battery
or charger.
►
If the trimmer, deflector, cutting attachment,
battery or the charger require servicing or
repairs: Contact your STIHL servicing
dealer for assistance.

The vibration levels indicated were measured
according to a standardized test method and can
be used as a basis for comparing electric power
tools. The vibration levels actually occurring may
vary from the values indicated, depending on the
type of application. The vibration levels indicated
can be used for an initial estimate of the vibration
stress. The actual vibration stress has to be esti‐
mated. The times when the power tool is
switched off and the times when it is switched on
but running under no load can be taken into
account in the estimate.
