regularly given the opportunity to attend
training courses and are supplied with
the necessary technical information.
Only use high-quality replacement parts
in order to avoid the risk of accidents
and damage to the unit. If you have any
questions in this respect, consult a
servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine
STIHL replacement parts. They are
specifically designed to match your
model and meet your performance
requirements.
Never attempt to modify your power tool
in any way since this will increase the
risk of personal injury.
Regularly check the electrical contacts
and ensure that the insulation of the
connecting cord and plug of the charger
is in good condition and shows no sign
of ageing (brittleness).
Electrical components, e.g. connecting
cord of charger, may only be repaired or
replaced by a qualified electrician.
Clean plastic surfaces with a cloth. Do
not use aggressive detergents. They
may damage the plastic.
Check tightness of mounting screws, on
the cutting attachment in particular, and
retighten if necessary.
Clean cooling air openings in motor
housing as necessary.
Keep the battery guides free from
foreign matter – clean as necessary.
Replace illegible or damaged warning
labels on the power tool.
Store the power tool in a dry, locked
location with the fuse key and battery
removed.

Vibrations
This power tool minimizes the vibrations
transmitted to the operator's hands.
However, the operator should seek
medical advice in the event of suspected
circulatory problems in the hands (e.g.
tingling sensation in the fingers).
Using the Unit
Mowing
A beautiful and dense lawn is obtained
by frequent mowing.
The lawn should not be kept too short in
hot and dry weather because it will
otherwise be burned by the sun and
become unattractive.
A sharp blade produces a more
attractive finish than a dull one. Sharpen
the blade regularly – see also
"Sharpening the Cutting Blade".
Cuttings can be collected in the grass
box or ejected to the rear.
Mowing on Slopes
Your cordless lawn mower can be used
on gradients of up to 25°.
Cutting Performance
The cutting performance depends on
the type of grass and the height of cut
selected. Cutting performance is
increased by:
Mowing frequently.
–
Increasing the height of cut.
–
Reducing mowing speed.
–
Allowing lawn to dry before mowing.
