Never use high-pressure cleaners and do 
not clean the machine under running water 
(e.g. using a garden hose).
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents. 
These can damage plastics and metals, 
impairing the safe operation of your STIHL 
machine.
In order to prevent overheating and fire 
hazards, keep the areas around the air 
vents on the motor and the air ducts on the 
bottom of the machine free from dirt (e. g. 
grass, straw, moss, leaves or leaking 
grease).
Maintenance operations:
Only maintenance operations described in 
this instruction manual may be carried out. 
Have all other work performed by a 
specialist dealer.
If you do not have the necessary expertise 
or auxiliary equipment, please always 
contact a specialist dealer.
STIHL recommends that you have 
maintenance operations and repairs 
performed exclusively by a STIHL 
specialist dealer.
STIHL specialist dealers regularly attend 
training courses and are provided with 
technical information. 
Only use tools, accessories or 
attachments approved for this machine by 
STIHL or technically identical parts. 
Otherwise, there may be a risk of 
accidents resulting in personal injury or 
damage to the machine. If you have any 
questions, please consult a specialist 
dealer.
The characteristics of original STIHL tools, 
accessories and spare parts are optimally 
adapted to the machine and the user's 
requirements. Genuine STIHL spare parts 
can be recognised by the STIHL spare 
parts number, by the STIHL lettering and, 
if present, by the STIHL spare parts 
symbol. On smaller parts, only the symbol 
may be present.
Always keep warning and information 
stickers clean and readable. Damaged or 
missing stickers must be replaced by new, 
original plates from your STIHL specialist 
dealer. If a component is replaced with a 
new component, ensure that the new 
component is provided with the same 
stickers.
Regularly check that the mowing blade is 
securely fastened and is not damaged or 
worn.
Only perform work on the cutting unit when 
wearing thick work gloves and exercising 
extreme care.
Ensure that all nuts, pins and screws (in 
particular the blade fastening screw) are 
securely tightened so that the machine is 
in a safe operating condition.
Check the entire machine for wear or 
damage on a regular basis, particularly 
before extended periods when the 
machine is not in use (e.g. over winter). 
For safety reasons, worn or damaged 
parts must be replaced immediately to 
ensure that the machine is always in a safe 
operating condition.
Components or guards that are removed 
for maintenance operations must be 
properly reinstalled immediately.
4.11 Storage for prolonged periods 
without operation
Store the cooled machine, the battery and 
the safety plug separately from each other 
in a dry and locked room that is 
inaccessible to children.
Ensure that the machine is protected from 
unauthorised use (e.g. by children).
Thoroughly clean the machine before 
storage (e.g. winter break).
Store the machine in good operational 
condition.
4.12 Disposal
Ensure that old machines (lawn mower, 
battery, charger, accessories) are properly 
disposed of. Render the lawn mower 
unusable prior to disposal. In order to 
prevent accidents, ensure that you remove 
the safety plug and the electric cable from 
the switch to the motor.
Risk of injury due to the cutting tool!
Always store an old machine in a safe 
place prior to scrapping. Ensure that the 
machine and the cutting tool are kept out 
of the reach of children.
Batteries must be disposed of separately 
from the machine. Ensure that batteries 
are discharged prior to disposal (e.g. by 
running the motor) and that they are 
disposed of safely and in an 
environmentally friendly manner.
