Warning where there is a risk of an
accident or personal injury or serious
damage to property.
Caution where there is a risk of
damaging the machine or its individual
components.
Engineering improvements
STIHL's philosophy is to continually
improve all of its products. For this
reason we may modify the design,
engineering and appearance of our
products periodically.
Therefore, some changes, modifications
and improvements may not be covered
in this manual.
The analyzer can be used with STIHL
diagnostic software - see "Diagnostic
Software". During operation, follow the
safety instructions in the STIHL
diagnostic software.
Observe all applicable local safety
regulations, standards and ordinances.
Minors should never be allowed to use
an analyzer.
The user is responsible for avoiding
injury to third parties or damage to their
property.
Servicing dealers can use the STIHL
ADG 2 digital analyzer to test STIHL and
VIKING cordless power tools. An
original STIHL battery is required for the
test. Only use original, geometrically
matching STIHL batteries with a
maximum capacity of 50 Ah and a
maximum voltage of 42 V.
The analyzer must not be used for any
other purpose because of the increased
risk of accidents and damage to the
analyzer. Never attempt to modify the
analyzer in any way since this may result
in accidents or damage to the analyzer.
The cordless power tool's motor starts to
run during the test. Before starting the
test, always take precautions to
eliminate the risk of accidents and injury
from contact with the power tool's
attachment.
To reduce the risk of injury, no other
person may stand in the area of the
power tool's motor during the test.
Only use the original STIHL analyzer.
Do not use damaged or deformed
batteries with the analyzer.
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do
not operate the analyzer if it is damaged
or not properly assembled. Never use an
analyzer with a defective housing,
adapter or connecting cord to the power
tool or a defective power cord.
Connect the analyzer only to an easily
accessible wall outlet with the voltage
and frequency specified on the rating
plate.
Guide to Using this Manual Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Special safety precau-
tions must be observed
when working with this
analyzer because it is
powered by electricity.
It is important you read
and understand the
instruction manual before
first use and keep the
manual in a safe place for
future reference. Non-
observance of the
instruction manual may
result in serious or even
fatal injury. Always read
and observe the instruc-
tion manual of the power
tool to be tested.
Protect from dampness.

ADG 2

Operate at ambient temperatures
between + 5°C and + 40°C.
To reduce the risk of electric shock or
short circuit, do not insert any objects in
the analyzer's cooling slots.
Never bridge the contacts of the
analyzer with metallic objects (e.g. nails,
coins, jewellery) – short circuit. The
analyzer may be damaged by a short
circuit.
Do not operate in a hazardous location,
i.e. in a location where there are
combustible liquids (fumes), vapors or
dusts. The analyzer may produce
sparks, which may ignite the dust or
vapors – risk of explosion.
In the event of smoke or fire in the
analyzer, disconnect it from the wall
outlet immediately.
Never jerk the power cord to disconnect
it from the wall outlet. To unplug, grasp
the plug, not the cord. Have a damaged
power cord repaired by a qualified
electrician.
Do not use the power cord or connecting
cord for any other purpose, e.g. for
carrying or hanging up the analyzer.
Check the power cord and plug for
damage before each use. Never use
damaged cords and plugs or connecting
cords that do not comply with
regulations.
To reduce the risk of stumbling, position
and mark the power cord so that it
cannot be damaged or endanger others.
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
–Always connect the cord to a
properly installed wall outlet.
–Make sure the insulation of the
power cord and plug is in good
condition.
After using the analyzer, unplug it from
the wall outlet.
Before leaving the analyzer unattended
or transporting or storing it, remove the
battery and take the adapter out of the
cordless power tool.
Store the analyzer out of the reach of
children.
Clean plastic surfaces with a cloth. Do
not use aggressive detergents. They
may damage the plastic.
Mains voltage and operating voltage of
the analyzer must be the same.
NInsert the mains plug (1) in the wall
outlet (2).
The display shows the following
information as soon as the analyzer is
connected to the wall outlet:
The analyzer then performs a self test.
During this process the light emitting
diode (3) on the analyzer glows green
for about 1 second, then yellow, then red
and goes off again.
When self test is completed:
NInsert the battery in the analyzer –
see "Testing Cordless Power Tool".
Use and store only
indoors in dry locations.
Inspect the analyzer's
power cord, the connect-
ing cord to the power tool
and the adapter for dam-
age at regular intervals. If
the power cord is dam-
aged, immediately
disconnect the plug from
the wall outlet to avoid
the risk of electric shock.

NTo confirm the language selected,
press and hold down the lower
button on the analyzer for about 3
seconds.
The language can be changed at any
time.
The analyzer must be updated to cover
the latest cordless power tools or new
batteries and additional diagnostic
functions. The update can be performed
as described below.
Direct update with diagnostic software
and internet access
Computer with diagnostic software has
access to internet – see "Diagnostic
Software":
NConnect analyzer to the computer
with the USB cable.
In the menu, click on button "Check for
updates... ". The diagnostic software
checks whether an update is available. If
yes, the update is performed
automatically.
Indirect update (without computer)
Data for updating the analyzer is
supplied by the subsidiary.
NConnect the analyzer to the power
supply – see "Connecting Analyzer
to Power Supply".
Operate the analyzer indoors only in dry
locations at an ambient temperature
between +5°C and +40°C.
Operating instructions
The analyzer is operated with two
pushbuttons (1):
–To confirm procedures during test
–To scroll between display pages
during test
–To select language
–To clear the fault memory
Fitting the Battery
A suitable original STIHL battery with a
minimum charge of 80% is required to
test the cordless power tool. The battery
supplies the cordless power tool with the
power needed for the test.

NPush the battery (1) into the
analyzer (2) until you feel noticeable
resistance – then push it as far as
stop.
The test continues automatically when
the battery is inserted. If the test does
not continue, the reason may be:
–No contact between battery and
analyzer – remove the battery and
refit it.
–Fault in battery – test with STIHL
ADG 1 battery analyzer if
necessary.
If the battery's state of charge is too low,
the analyzer's display shows:
NUse a properly charged battery.
Insert adapter
Inserting the adapter connects the
cordless power tool to the battery. The
cordless power tool is ready for
operation.
The cordless power tool's motor starts to
run during the test. Before starting the
test, always take precautions to
eliminate the risk of accidents and injury
from contact with the power tool's
attachment.
The following instructions appear on the
display:
NEliminate risk from tool – see
Technical Information bulletins on
ADG 2 analyzer and the cordless
power tool being tested.
NPress the lower button to confirm.
NInsert adapter (1) in power tool's
battery compartment – the adapter
slides into position – press it home
until it engages audibly. The
adapter must be flush with the top of
the housing.
NPress the lower button to confirm.

Data transfer
The cordless power tool and analyzer
communicate with each other. The
analyzer can test the cordless power
tool only if this data exchange functions.
NSwitch on the cordless power tool –
see power tool's instruction manual.

power tool and the analyzer, the
problem is in the connection to the
power tool – refer to Technical
Information bulletins on ADG 2 analyzer
and the power tool concerned.
NSwitch on the cordless power tool
again – the test starts.
Checking operation of controls
The controls differ according to the
cordless power tool being tested. The
following procedure describes the
