Stihl RMA 370 Instruction Manual page 8

English
If the motor is thermally overloaded
during operation, it cuts out
automatically and must cool down
before it is restarted. Causes of
overload:
Mowing overlong grass or at too low
–
a cutting height
Feed speed too high
–
Cooling air slots dirty
–
Switching the machine on and off
frequently within a short period may
cause the motor to overheat.
Do not attach objects to the handlebar.
The machine must not be used for
transporting persons, particularly
children, or objects.
After Finishing Work
Before leaving the power tool
unattended: Switch off the motor,
remove the fuse key and battery.
Note that the cutting attachment
continues to run for a short period after
the power tool is switched off – flywheel
effect. The machine is equipped with a
coasting brake. The coasting brake
shortens the time required for the blade
to come to a standstill – see also
"Switching Off".
Allow power tool to cool down
completely.
Always clean dust and dirt off the power
tool – do not use any grease solvents for
this purpose.

Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
The machine is operated by one person
only – do not allow other persons,
especially children, or animals in the
work area.
Always hold the handlebar firmly with
both hands.
Operate the machine at walking pace
only – never run.
Vibrations
This power tool minimizes the vibrations
transmitted to the operator's hands.
However, the operator should seek
medical advice in the event of suspected
circulatory problems in the hands (e.g.
tingling sensation in the fingers).
Maintenance and Repairs
Always remove the fuse key and battery
from the power tool before carrying out
any repairs or maintenance work. This
avoids the risk of the motor starting
unintentionally.
Service the machine regularly. Do not
attempt any maintenance or repair work
not described in the instruction manual.
Have all other work performed by a
servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends that you have
servicing and repair work carried out
exclusively by an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer. STIHL dealers are
regularly given the opportunity to attend
training courses and are supplied with
the necessary technical information.
Only use high-quality replacement parts
in order to avoid the risk of accidents
and damage to the unit. If you have any
questions in this respect, consult a
servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine
STIHL replacement parts. They are
specifically designed to match your
model and meet your performance
requirements.
Never attempt to modify your power tool
in any way since this will increase the
risk of personal injury.
Regularly check the electrical contacts
and ensure that the insulation of the
connecting cord and plug of the charger
is in good condition and shows no sign
of ageing (brittleness).
Electrical components, e.g. connecting
cord of charger, may only be repaired or
replaced by a qualified electrician.
