Maintenance, Cleaning, Repairs And Storage - Stihl RMA 2 RP Instruction Manual

A slope inclination of 25° corresponds to a
vertical height increase of 46.6 cm for a
100 cm horizontal distance.
Working:
Caution – risk of injury!
Never put hands or feet on or
underneath rotating parts.
Never touch the rotating blade.
Always observe the safety distance
provided by the handlebar.
Do not try to examine the blade
while the machine is operating.
Rotating blades can cause
injury.
Only operate the machine at walking
speed – never run when working with the
machine. Working quickly with the
machine increases the risk of injury due to
stumbling, slipping, etc.
Be particularly careful when turning the
machine around or pulling it towards you.
Risk of stumbling!
Use the machine with great care when
working near slopes, terraces, ditches and
embankments. In particular, ensure that
you maintain sufficient distance to such
danger areas.
Objects hidden in the turf (lawn sprinkler
systems, posts, water valves, foundations,
electrical wires, etc.) must be avoided.
Never run over any such foreign objects.

If the cutting tool or the machine hits an
obstacle or a foreign object, the motor
must be switched off, the safety plug
disconnected and an inspection performed
by a specialist.
Beware of the cutting tool
running on for several seconds
before coming to a standstill.
Switch off the motor
– if tilting of the machine is necessary
when transporting over surfaces other
than grass,
– when pushing the machine to and from
mowing areas,
– before adjusting the cutting height.
Switch off the motor, remove the
safety plug and ensure that the
cutting tool has come to a complete
standstill
– before removing the battery;
– before leaving the machine unattended;
– before transporting, lifting, or carrying
the machine;
– before remedying blockages;
– before you check, clean or carry out
work on the machine (e.g. folding down
or adjusting the handlebar);
– if the cutting tool has hit a foreign object.
The cutting tool needs to be checked for
possible damage. The machine must
not be operated with a damaged or bent
blade shaft or motor shaft. Risk of
injury through defective parts!
– if the machine begins to vibrate
excessively. In this case, the complete
machine, in particular the cutting tool
must be checked for possible damage
and loose parts. Damaged parts must
be replaced prior to further use and
loose parts must be fastened/tightened.
Risk of injury!
Strong vibration is normally an
indication of a fault.
In particular, the machine must not
be operated with a damaged or
bent blade shaft or mowing blade.
If you do not have the appropriate
expertise, have the necessary
repairs carried out by a specialist
dealer (STIHL recommends STIHL
specialist dealers).
