Question 1

How to remove the battery from the STIHL FSA 60 R charger?

Accepted Answer

If you are unable to remove the battery from your STIHL FSA 60 R charger, it is generally because the charging is not yet complete. Here is the correct procedure:

Steps to remove the battery

Check the end of the charging - Observe the LEDs (light-emitting diodes) on the charger and the battery. They should be completely off to indicate that the charging is complete. The charger automatically stops charging once the cycle is finished.
Extract the battery - Once the full charge is confirmed (LEDs off), the battery simply engages in the guiding parts of the charger and can be removed without force. There is no physical locking mechanism on this model.

Important advice

Never force to remove the battery. If it seems stuck, wait a few more minutes and check again that all the indicator lights are off. This means that the charging cycle is completely finished and the battery will release easily.

This procedure works for compatible chargers: STIHL AL 101, AL 300, and AL 500.

Locate the notches on the spool that allow you to secure the line.
Insert one end of the line into a notch to hold it in place.

Press until the spool clicks into place.
