4.7 Operation
WARNING
The user cannot concentrate on the work in certain
situations. The user may stumble, fall and be seriously
injured.
Work calmly and carefully.
If light and visibility are poor: Do not work with the
mower.
Operate the mower alone.
Watch out for obstacles.
Stand on the ground while working and keep a good
balance.
If you begin to feel tired: Take a break.
If it is necessary to mow on a slope: Mow across the
slope.
Do not mow on steep slopes.
The rotating cutting blade can cut the user. This can result
in serious injuries.
If you mow with the wheel drive switched off, there is a risk
of it being accidentally switched on and causing the
mower to move forwards unexpectedly. This can result in
serious injuries and damage to property.
Operate the wheel drive switch lever only if you want to
switch on the wheel drive.
If the behavior of the mower changes during operation or
feels unusual, it may no longer be in a safe condition. This
can result in serious injuries and damage to property.
Stop work, remove the activation key and battery, and
contact your STIHL servicing dealer for assistance.
Vibrations may occur while using the mower.
Wear gloves.
Take regular breaks.
If signs of circulation problems occur: Seek medical
advice.
Note that the blade continues to rotate for a short period
after you release the switch lever. This can result in
serious injuries.
Wait until the blade comes to a complete stop.
Sparks may occur if the rotating blade makes contact with
a hard object. Sparks may cause a fire in an easily
combustible location. This can result in serious or fatal
injuries and damage to property.
Do not work in an easily combustible location.
DANGER
Working near live electric cables can result in accidental
contact with the cutting blade and damage the cables.
This can result in serious or fatal injuries.
Do not work near live electric cables.
Do not use the mower during a thunderstorm since there
is a risk of being struck by lightning. This can result in
serious or fatal injuries.
If a thunderstorm is approaching: Put off the work.
Do not touch the rotating cutting blade.
If the blade is blocked by an object: Switch
off the mower, remove the activation key
and battery. Then remove the object
causing the blockage.
