THE POWER TOOL
For illustrations and definitions of the
power tool parts see the chapter on
"Main Parts."
WARNING
Never modify your lawn mower in any
way. Only attachments supplied by
STIHL or expressly authorized by STIHL
for use with the specific STIHL model
are recommended. Although certain
unauthorized attachments are useable
with STIHL power tools, their use may,
in fact, be extremely dangerous.
If your lawn mower is subjected to
unusually high loads for which it was not
designed (e.g. heavy impact or a fall),
always check that it and the battery are
in good condition before continuing work
– see also "Before Starting Work." Make
sure all safety devices are working
properly. Do not continue operating your
lawn mower if it is damaged. In case of
doubt, have it checked by your STIHL
servicing dealer.
Battery
WARNING
Do not place the battery on or near fires,
stoves or in other high-temperature
locations. Do not place the battery in
direct sunlight or store it inside a vehicle
in hot weather. Doing so may cause the
battery to generate heat, rupture or
ignite. Using the batteries in this manner
may also result in a loss of performance
and a shortened battery life.
In case of fire: stay clear of any vapors
or gases generated, taking the wind
direction into account. If possible without
danger, remove the battery from the
vicinity of the fire. Cooling the battery or
extinguishing the fire with ample
amounts of water may be possible. It is
preferable, however, to extinguish the
fire with a multipurpose dry chemical fire
extinguisher. As for any fire, evacuate
the area and call the fire authorities.
Once the fire has been extinguished, the
area should be monitored (fire watch) in
case of a flare-up, until the battery has
cooled sufficiently. Restrict access to the
area until the completion of clean-up. Do
not touch the burned battery or any
spilled liquids. Use an inert absorbent
such as sand on spilled liquids.
WARNING
Use STIHL AP batteries with this mower.
Charge only with STIHL AL chargers.
Use of unauthorized batteries can
damage the mower and result in fire,
explosion and personal injury and
property damage.
