STIHL electric starter for convenient
starts.
The STIHL electric starter basically
consists of the following components:
Rechargeable battery, integrated in
–
control unit
Starter mechanism with starter

The battery supplies the starter motor
with the power required to start the
engine.
The battery is recharged while the power
tool is running – the power tool is always
ready to start.
The starter battery is not replaceable – it
is integrated in the control unit.
If the power tool is stored at
temperatures below 0°C it may cool
down to a point where a start is inhibited
to protect the battery.
The engine must then be started
manually.
