5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ Good footing is very important. To help maintain a secure 
footing and reduce the risk of injury:
– Always wear substantial footwear with non-slip 
soles. Do not wear sandals, flip-flops, open-toed or 
similar footwear.
■ To improve your grip and help protect your hands:
– Always wear heavy-duty, non-slip work gloves made 
of leather or another wear resistant material when 
setting up the docking station and robotic mower, 
installing or repairing the perimeter wire, inspecting 
or cleaning the mower, replacing the mowing blade 
and any other time you are handling the robotic 
mower.
■ To reduce the risk of personal injury:
– Wear overalls or long pants when approaching the 
robotic mower while in operation. Do not wear 
shorts.
– Secure hair above shoulder level before performing 
any installation, setup, inspection, service, 
maintenance or cleaning activities, and before 
approaching the robotic mower while in operation.
5.4 Robotic Mower
WARNING
■ If the moving mowing blade contacts you, it will result in 
serious laceration injuries. To reduce the risk of such 
injuries:
– Keep hands, feet and other parts of your body away 
from the mowing blade.
– Never touch the moving mowing blade with your 
hand or any other part of your body.
■ To reduce the risk of personal injury to the operator and 
bystanders:
■ Although certain unauthorized attachments may fit STIHL 
robotic mowers, their use may be extremely dangerous. 
Only attachments supplied by STIHL or expressly 
approved by STIHL for use with this specific iMow model 
are recommended.
– Use only attachments supplied or expressly 
approved by STIHL.
– Never modify this robotic mower or its software in 
any way.
– Never attempt to modify or override the robotic 
mower's controls or safety devices in any way.
– Never use a robotic mower that has been modified or 
altered from its original design.
■ If the robotic mower is dropped or subjected to similar 
heavy impacts:
– Check that it is undamaged, in good condition and 
functioning properly before continuing work. 
– Check that the controls and safety devices are 
working properly.
– Check the display for error messages, @ 22.1.
– Never work with a damaged or malfunctioning 
robotic mower.
– Never use or charge a robotic mower if the hood or 
housing is cracked, deformed or excessively hot, if 
battery fluid is leaking from the battery compartment, 
or if the battery is otherwise damaged. A damaged 
battery increases the risk of personal injury and 
property damage from short circuit, fire or explosion.
– Always press and hold the STOP button 
for 5 seconds to activate the disabling 
device before assembling, transporting, 
adjusting, inspecting, cleaning, 
servicing, maintaining or storing.
– Never lift the robotic mower or reach 
under the hood to clear clippings or 
debris, or for any other reason, without 
first activating the disabling device and 
confirming that the mowing blade has 
come to a complete stop.
