2.7 While working
Make sure you always have good balance and
secure footing.
In the event of impending danger or in an emer‐
gency, switch off the engine immediately - move
the slide control/stop switch to STOP or 0.
15m (50ft)
Within a wide area around the workplace, there
is a risk of accident by ejected objects, therefore
ensure that there is no-one within a 15 m radius
of the machine. This distance must also be main‐
tained in relation to objects (vehicles, window
panes) – risk of property damage! Even at a dis‐
tance over 15 m, danger cannot be ruled out.
Check that the engine is properly idling so that
the cutting tool will not continue rotating after you
release the throttle trigger.
Check and correct the idle speed setting at regu‐
lar intervals. If the cutting attachment still rotates
at idle speed, have your dealer make proper
adjustments or repairs. STIHL recommends you
have this work done by a STIHL servicing dealer.
Take special care in slippery conditions – damp,
snow, ice, on slopes or uneven ground.
Watch out for obstacles: tree stumps, roots – risk
of tripping or stumbling!
Only work while standing on the ground, never
on a ladder or mobile elevated work platform.
Be particularly alert and cautious when wearing
hearing protection because your ability to hear
warnings (shouts, alarms, etc.) is restricted.
Take breaks when you start getting tired or feel‐
ing fatigue – risk of accidents!
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight conditions
and only when visibility is good. Proceed with
caution, do not put others in danger.
As soon as the engine is running, the
power machine generates toxic
exhaust gas.As soon as the engine is
running, the power machine gener‐
ates toxic exhaust gas. These gases
may be odorless and invisible and
may contain unburned hydrocarbons
and benzene. Never run the engine
indoors or in poorly ventilated loca‐
tions, even if your model is equipped
with a catalytic converter.
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury from
breathing toxic fumes, ensure proper ventilation
when working in trenches, hollows or other con‐
fined locations.

2 Safety Precautions and Working Techniques
Stop work immediately if you start suffering from
nausea, headaches, impaired vision (e.g. your
field of vision gets smaller), impaired hearing,
dizziness, or impaired concentration – these
symptoms may possibly be the result of too-high
exhaust gas concentration – Risk of accidents!
Operate your power tool so that it produces a
minimum of noise and emissions – do not run the
engine unnecessarily, accelerate the engine only
when working.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not smoke while
operating or standing near your power tool. Com‐
bustible fuel vapor may escape from the fuel sys‐
tem.
Dust, fumes and smoke produced while working
may be hazardous to health. Wear respiratory
protection in case of heavy dust or smoke emis‐
sion.
If your power tool is subjected to unusually high
loads for which it was not designed (e.g. heavy
impact or a fall), always check that it is in good
condition before continuing work – see also
"Before Starting".
Check in particular that the fuel system has no
leaks and the safety equipment is fully operative.
Never use a power tool that is no longer safe to
operate. In case of doubt, contact a dealer.
Do not operate your power tool in the starting
throttle position – engine speed cannot be con‐
trolled in this position.
To reduce the risk of injuryfrom ejec‐
ted objects, never operate the unit
without the proper deflector for the
type of cutting attachment being
used.
Check the work site – rocks, metal
objects etc. may be caught up and
ejected – possibly over a distance of
15 m – risk of injury! – They can also
damage the cutting attachment and
other property (e. g. parking vehicles,
windows).
Be particularly careful when working on difficult,
densely grown terrain.
When mowing in high shrubbery, under shrub‐
bery and hedges: Hold the cutting tool at a work‐
ing height of at least 15 cm – avoid risks to ani‐
mals.
Always shut off the engine before leaving the
unit unattended.
