6 Battery Safety

– If the mowing blade or discharge chutes
become dirty, clogged or stuck, always
switch off the motor, make sure the
mowing blade has stopped and remove
the fuse key and battery before
inspecting the mowing blade. Clean dirt,
grass, weeds and other material from the
mowing blade and discharge chutes at
regular intervals, but only after removing
the fuse key and battery.
￭ To reduce the risk of thermal overload to the motor and
damage to the mower:
– Do not switch on the mower in high grass.
– Do not overload your lawn mower during operation
with very tall or thick grass to a point where the
motor slows down. If the motor sounds distressed or
begins to slow due to the height of the grass or
amount of grass being cut, raise the mowing blade
or slow down.
– Do not switch on and off the mower frequently within
a short period.
￭ A damaged or loose mowing blade may vibrate, crack,
break or come off the lawn mower, which may result in
serious or fatal injury.
– Before starting work, examine the blade. If the blade
is damaged or cracked, replace it immediately. If the
blade edge is dull or nicked, have it sharpened and
balanced or replace it.
– If the mowing blade loosens after being properly
tightened, stop work immediately and have the lawn
mower repaired by your authorized STIHL iMow
servicing dealer.
– Never use a lawn mower with a loose or damaged
mowing blade.
