5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 behaviour 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.
