English 4 Safety Precautions
￭ If the behavior of the mower changes during operation or
feels unusual, it may no longer be in a safe condition. This
can result in serious injuries and damage to property.
► Stop work, remove the activation key and battery, and
contact your STIHL servicing dealer for assistance.
￭ Vibrations may occur while using the mower.
► Wear gloves.

serious injuries.

combustible location. This can result in serious or fatal
