English
► Do not touch a turning blade.
► If the blade is blocked by an object:
Switch the lawn mower off and
remove the battery. Only then
remove the object.
■ If working without self-propulsion when mow‐
ing, self-propulsion may unintentionally be
engaged and the lawn mower may start mov‐
ing. This may result in serious injury to people
and damage to property.
► Only press the control bar for self-propul‐
sion if self-propulsion is to be engaged.
■ If the lawn mower changes or starts to behave
differently when working, it may not be in safe
condition. This may result in serious injury to
people and damage to property.
► Stop working, remove the battery and con‐
sult a STIHL specialist dealer.
■ The lawn mower may cause vibrations when
working.
► Wear protective gloves.
► Take breaks.
► If signs of a circulatory disturbance occur:
consult a doctor.
■ If the blade hits a foreign object when working,
the foreign object or parts of it may be dam‐
aged or thrown up at high velocity. This may
result in injury to people and damage to prop‐
erty.
► Remove foreign objects from the work area.
■ When the control bar for mowing is released,
the blade continues to turn for a short time.
This may result in serious injury to people.
► Wait until the blade is no longer turning.
■ Sparks may be produced if the turning blade
hits a hard object. Sparks may cause fires in
highly flammable environments. This may
result in serious or fatal injury to people and
damage to property.
► Do not work in a highly flammable environ‐
ment.
■ If the lawn mower is stopped on a sloping sur‐
face, it may unintentionally roll away. This may
result in injury to people and damage to prop‐
erty.
► Only let go of the lawn mower if it is on a
level surface and cannot roll away by itself.
■ If objects are attached to the handlebar, the
additional weight may cause the lawn mower
to tip over. This may result in injury to people
and damage to property.
► Do not attach objects to the handlebar.
DANGER
■ If working near live wires, the blade may come
into contact with the live wires and damage
40
them. This may result in serious or fatal injury
to the user.
► Do not work near live wires.
■ The user may be struck by lighting if working
during a thunderstorm. This may result in seri‐
ous or fatal injury to the user.
► In case of thunderstorms: Do not continue
work.
■ The self-propulsion disengages in the event of
overload when working on steep slopes. This
causes the user to spontaneously have to
apply a greater pushing force, which may
cause the user to lose control of the lawn
mower. The lawn mower may roll towards the
user due to its own weight.
► Mow across the slope. Ensure a secure
footing to maintain control of the lawn
mower at all times.

■ The lawn mower may tip over or move during
transport. This may result in injury to people
and damage to property.
► Remove the battery.
► Secure the lawn mower with lashing straps,
belts or a net so it cannot tip over and
move.
■ If the battery is inserted during transport with
self-propulsion disengaged, self-propulsion
may unintentionally be engaged and the lawn
mower may start moving. This may result in
serious injury to people and damage to prop‐
erty.
► Remove the battery.
4.8.2 Battery

■ The battery is not protected against all ambi‐
ent conditions. The battery may be damaged if
it is exposed to certain ambient conditions,
