● The mains plug and electric cable are 
particularly important when it comes to 
electrical safety.
● Insert the mains plug in a correctly 
installed socket.
An incorrect mains voltage or an incorrect 
mains frequency during charging may lead 
to overvoltage in the charger. The charger 
could become damaged.
● Ensure that the mains voltage and the 
mains frequency of the power supply 
correspond to the information contained 
in the rating plate on the charger.
A damaged or defective charger may emit 
a strange odour or smoke. Persons could 
be injured or property damaged.
● Remove mains plug from socket.
In the case of insufficient heat dissipation, 
the charger could overheat, causing a fire. 
Persons could be seriously or fatally 
injured and property may be damaged.
● Do not cover the charger.
● Store the charger on the wall bracket.
If several chargers are connected to a 
socket, electrical wires could become 
overloaded during charging. The electrical 
wires could heat up and cause a fire. 
Persons could be seriously or fatally 
injured and property may be damaged.
● Only connect one charger to a socket.
● Do not connect a charger to multiple 
sockets.
4.6 Transporting the machine
Always wear gloves in order to prevent 
injuries due to sharp-edged and hot 
components.
Switch off the machine prior to 
transport, allow the blade to 
come to a standstill and remove the safety 
plug.
Only transport the machine once the motor 
has cooled down.
Take the weight of the machine into 
account and use suitable loading aids 
(loading ramps, lifters) if necessary.
Secure the machine and any machine 
components being transported (e.g. grass 
catcher box) on the load floor using 
fastening material of adequate size (belts, 
ropes, etc.).
Avoid contact with the mowing blade when 
lifting and carrying the machine.
Observe the information in the section 
"Transport". It describes how to lift and 
lash the machine. (Ö 14.)
When transporting the machine, always 
observe regional legislation, especially 
regarding load security and the transport 
of objects on load floors.
4.7 Transporting the battery
The battery is not protected against all 
ambient conditions. If exposed to certain 
ambient conditions, the battery may 
become damaged and property may be 
damaged
● Do not transport a damaged battery.
● Transport the battery in the machine, in 
electrically non-conductive packaging 
or in an electrically non-conductive 
transport container.
During transport outside of the machine, 
the battery could tip over or move. Persons 
could be injured or property damaged.
● Pack the battery in the packaging or 
transport container in such a way that it 
cannot move.
● Secure the packaging or transport 
container so that the packaging or 
transport container cannot move.
Do not leave the battery inside a vehicle 
and never expose it to direct sunlight.
Lithium-ion batteries must be treated with 
special care during transport. In particular, 
it must be ensured that short circuits are 
prevented during transport of the batteries. 
For this reason, keep the original 
cardboard packaging of the battery and 
always transport STIHL batteries either in 
the undamaged original packaging or in 
the lawn mower.
4.8 Before operation
Make sure that only persons who are 
familiar with the instruction manual are 
permitted to use the machine.
Observe the local regulations regarding 
permitted operating times for gardening 
power tools with electric motors.
Carefully inspect the complete area on 
which the machine is to be used and 
remove any stones, sticks, wires, bones 
and other foreign objects which could be 
thrown up by the machine. Obstacles (e.g. 
tree stumps, roots) can be easily 
overlooked in long grass.
For this reason, mark all foreign objects 
(obstacles) which are hidden in the lawn 
and cannot be removed before 
commencing work with the machine.
All faulty, worn or damaged parts must be 
replaced before using the machine. 
Replace any illegible or damaged danger 
signs and warnings on the machine. Your
