advertencias colocadas en el cargador, en la batería
y en el producto en que va a utilizar la batería.
– Use el STIHL AL 301 únicamente para cargar
baterías originales de las series AK, AP o AR de

– Nunca use el cargador si está dañado.
– Nunca cargue baterías que estén defectuosas,
dañadas, agrietadas o deformadas, o que pierdan
líquido.
– Nunca guarde una batería en el cargador.
– Utilice el cargador siempre bajo techo, en
habitaciones secas y a temperaturas ambiente de
entre 41°F y 104°F(5°C y 40°C).
– Mantenga el cargador fuera del alcance de los
niños.
– Siempre enchufe el cargador a un tomacorriente o a
una fuente de alimentación que se haya instalado
correctamente y que tenga los mismos valores de
voltaje y frecuencia eléctrica que se indican en el
cargador.
– Nunca use conectores múltiples para poner en
funcionamiento varios cargadores u otros
dispositivos desde el mismo tomacorriente o en el
mismo circuito.
– No utilice el cargador si este ha recibido un golpe
fuerte, si se ha caído o se ha dañado de cualquier
otro modo.
– No intente reparar, abrir ni desarmar el cargador. No
contiene ninguna pieza que el usuario pueda reparar
sin ayuda.

español / EE.UU 5 INSTRUCCIONES IMPORTANTES DE SEGURIDAD
￭ El cargador se calienta durante el proceso de carga. Para
reducir el riesgo de incendio:
– No ponga en funcionamiento el equipo sobre
superficies combustibles (p. ej., papel, cartón o
telas), ni en entornos combustibles.
– Deje que el cargador se enfríe por sí solo. No lo
cubra.
￭ Los cargadores pueden producir chispas que, a su vez,
pueden encender gases, líquidos, vapores, polvos u otros
materiales combustibles. Para reducir el riesgo de
incendios y explosiones:
– No utilice la máquina en un lugar en el que haya
gases, líquidos, vapores, polvos u otros materiales
combustibles.
￭ El uso de un cordón eléctrico o de un enchufe que estén
dañados puede provocar incendios, descargas eléctricas
y otras lesiones personales, así como daños materiales.
Para reducir estos riesgos:
– Si el cordón eléctrico está dañado, solicite a un
concesionario de servicio STIHL autorizado que lo
reemplace.
– Desenchufe el cordón eléctrico del tomacorriente
cuando no esté usando el cargador.
– Nunca tire del cordón eléctrico para sacar el enchufe
del tomacorriente. Para desenchufar la máquina,
agarre el enchufe, y no el cordón.
– No use el cordón eléctrico para transportar ni
sostener el cargador.
– Asegúrese de que el cordón eléctrico está colocado
o marcado de modo que nadie pueda pisarlo ni
tropezarse con él; compruebe que no está en
contacto con objetos cortantes ni con partes móviles
ni expuesto a ningún otro daño o esfuerzo.
￭ No se debe usar un alargador a menos que sea
absolutamente inevitable. Sobrecargar un alargador
puede provocar sobrecalentamiento e incendios. Si es
imprescindible utilizar un alargador:
– Use únicamente un alargador debidamente formado
con alambres de calibre 16 (AWG 16) o mayor, y con
una longitud no superior a 75 pies.
– Nunca conecte más de un cargador u otro
dispositivo a un alargador.
– Nunca use un alargador cuyo vatiaje sea inferior al
indicado en la placa de características del cargador.
– Nunca use un alargador si las clavijas del enchufe
difieren de las clavijas del enchufe del cargador en
cantidad, tamaño o forma.
– No una varios alargadores (en cadena).
￭ El circuito eléctrico doméstico típico es de entre 15 y
20 amperios. Un único STIHL AL 301 consume
aproximadamente 4.4 amperios. Para reducir el riesgo de
incendios provocados por la sobrecarga de un circuito
eléctrico:
– Asegúrese de que el sistema eléctrico reúne las
características necesarias para resistir el consumo
eléctrico previsible antes de iniciar la carga.
– Si tiene que cargar varias baterías, cárguelas una a
una o en circuitos separados, a menos que tenga la
certeza de que su circuito resistirá el consumo total
que necesitan todos los cargadores.
– Revise regularmente el cable eléctrico y
el enchufe del cargador para comprobar
si tienen daños. Si detecta daños, retire
el enchufe inmediatamente del
tomacorriente.
