General Safety Warnings
and Instructions for Battery-
Powered Products
This section contains the prescribed
general safety warnings and instructions
for battery-powered products contained
in UL 2595.
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and
instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire, explosion and/or
serious injury or property damage.
1. Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch lever is in the off-
position before inserting the battery
2. Remove the fuse key and battery
before picking up or carrying the
mower and before making any
adjustments, changing accessories
or storing. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting
the mower accidentally.
3. Recharge only with the charger
specified by STIHL. A charger that
is suitable for one type of battery
may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery.
4. Use the mower only with the
specifically designated batteries.
Use of any other battery may create
a risk of fire or explosion and
personal injury or property damage.

5. When the battery is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects, like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails or
other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one
terminal to another. Do not store it in
a metal container. Shorting the
battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire or explosion.
6. Under abusive conditions, liquid
may be ejected from the battery;
avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation,
chemical burns or respiratory illness
from inhalation.
7. Do not use a battery or mower that
is damaged or modified. Damaged
or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in
fire, explosion and risk of injury or
property damage.
8. Do not expose a battery or the
mower to fire or excessive
temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 212° F (100° C)
may cause fire and explosion.
9. Follow all charging instructions and
do not charge the battery outside of
the ambient temperature range
specified. Charging improperly or
outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase
the risk of fire.
10. Have servicing performed by a
qualified repair person using only
authorized replacement parts. This
will help maintain the safety and
performance of the product.
