8 Before Starting Work

1 A short beep

A short beep means that the AP battery is inserted

properly and is ready for operation. If the power tool is

switched back on again after a break lasting 10 minutes

or more, another short beep will be emitted.

2 Rapid succession of short beeps

A rapid succession of multiple beeps when you insert the

AP battery means that there is a malfunction in the

battery, the battery bag or the power tool. Do not attempt

to charge, use or store the battery. Replace the battery.

The LEDs on the AP battery can glow or flash green or red.

If three LEDs glow red continuously: the power tool motor is

too hot. Allow the motor to cool down.

If three LEDs flash red when you activate the trigger switch:

the power tool has an electrical malfunction. Do not operate

the power tool. Have it checked by an authorized STIHL

servicing dealer before use or storage.

► Be aware that your ability to hear the acoustic signal

produced by the battery bag may be reduced when

wearing hearing protection.

For troubleshooting information, @ 16.

7.2 Charge Status

The LEDs on the battery also show the battery's state of

charge.

To determine the battery's state of charge:

► Press the button (1) on the battery.

The LEDs on the battery will glow or flash green for about

5 seconds and indicate the state of charge (see

illustration).

For example:

If four green LEDs glow continuously: full charge.

If one green LED is flashing: less than 20 % charge.

8.1 Preparing the AP Battery Bag for Operation

Before starting work:

► Check the AP Battery Bag, connecting cord, plug and

power tool socket for signs of damage. If using the AP

Adapter, always check it and the power tool's battery

compartment for signs of damage before starting work.

Never use a damaged battery bag, connecting cord, plug

or socket. Never use a damaged AP Adapter or power tool

with a damaged battery compartment.

► Make sure before use that the insulation of the connecting

cord is in good condition.

If one LED glows red continuously: the battery is

either too hot or too cold. 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 all four LEDs flash red: the battery has a

malfunction and must be replaced. Do not

attempt to charge, use or store the battery.
