8 Maintenance, Repair and Storage

￭ 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.
￭ In case of fire, or if the charger or hedge trimmer 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.
– Have the charger and hedge trimmer inspected and
repaired by an authorized STIHL servicing dealer
before use.
￭ Operation of the hedge trimmer is disabled during the
charging process to reduce the risk of electric shock.
– Do not attempt to operate the hedge trimmer during
the charging process or any time it is connected to
the LK 45.
