WARNING
Minors should never be allowed to use
this power tool. Bystanders, especially
children, and animals should not be
allowed in the area where it is in use.
Tragic accidents can occur if the
operator is not alert to the presence of
children. Children are often attracted to
the machine and it mowing activities.
Never assume that children will remain
where you last saw them. Keep children
under the watchful eye of a responsible
adult other than the operator. Use extra
care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees or other objects that may
block your view of a child!
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury to bystanders
and damage to property, never let your
lawn mower run unattended. When it is
not in use (e.g. during a work break),
shut it off and make sure that
unauthorized persons do not use it. To
do this, remove fuse key and battery
from the power tool.
Most of these safety precautions and
warnings apply to the use of all STIHL
lawn mowers. Different models may
have different parts and controls. See
the appropriate section of your
instruction manual for a description of
the controls and the function of the parts
of your model.
Always remove fuse key and battery
before inspecting, cleaning,
transporting, storing or carrying out any
work on the power tool. This avoids the
risk of the motor starting unintentionally.
4
Use only original STIHL replacement
parts, including the cutting blade. They
are specifically designed to match your
model and meet your performance
requirements. Use of non - STIHL parts
may cause serious or fatal injury.
