► Only press the control bar for self-propul‐
sion if self-propulsion is to be engaged.
■ If the lawn mower starts behaving differently or
in an unusual way while operating, the lawn
mower may be in an unsafe condition. This
may result in serious injury to people and
damage to property.
► Stop working, remove the batteries and
contact a STIHL authorized dealer.
■ The lawn mower may cause vibrations in oper‐
ation.
► Wear protective gloves.
► Take breaks.
► If signs of a circulatory disorder occur: con‐
sult a doctor.
■ If the blade hits a foreign object when working,
the foreign object or parts of it may be dam‐
aged or propelled at high velocity. People may
be injured or property may be damaged.
► Remove foreign objects from the working
area.
■ When the control bar for mowing is released,
the blade continues to turn for a short time.
People may suffer serious injuries as a result.
► Wait for the blade to stop moving.
■ Sparks can be produced if the rotating blade
hits a hard object. Sparks can cause fires in a
flammable environment. Persons may be seri‐
ously or fatally injured, and property may be
damaged.
► Do not use in a flammable environment.
■ The lawn mower may unintentionally roll away
if it is stopped on a sloping surface. People
may be injured or property may be damaged.
► 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. People may be injured or property
may be damaged.
► Do not attach objects to the handlebar.
DANGER
■ When working near live wires, the blade may
come into contact with live wires and damage
them. This may result in serious or fatal injury
to the user.
► Do not carry out any work near live wires.
■ If operating during a thunderstorm the user
may be struck by lightning. This may result in
serious or fatal injury to the user.
► Do not work during thunderstorms.
■ 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
8
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.
