4 Safety Precautions
► Wait until the blades are no longer turning.
■ Sparks may be produced if the turning blades
hit a hard object. Sparks may cause fires in
highly flammable environments. This may
result in serious or fatal injury to people and
damage to property.
► Do not work in a highly flammable environ‐
ment.
■ If the blades hit a foreign object when working,
the blades may be damaged or the blade posi‐
tion may be changed.
► If the blades hit an object, switch the lawn
mower off and check the lawn mower and
blades.
■ If the lawn mower is stopped on a sloping sur‐
face, it may unintentionally roll away. This may
result in injury to people and damage to prop‐
erty.
► Only let go of the lawn mower if it is on a
level surface and cannot roll away by itself.
■ If objects are attached to the handlebar, the
additional weight may cause the lawn mower
to tip over. This may result in injury to people
and damage to property.
► Do not attach objects to the handlebar.
DANGER
■ If working near live wires, the blades may
come into contact with the live wires and dam‐
age them. This may result in serious or fatal
injury to the user.
► Do not work near live wires.
■ The user may be struck by lighting if working
during a thunderstorm. This may result in seri‐
ous or fatal injury to the user.
► Do not work during thunderstorms.
■ The self-propulsion disengages in the event of
overload when working on steep slopes. This
causes the user to spontaneously have to
apply a greater pushing force, which may
cause the user to lose control of the lawn
mower. The lawn mower may roll towards the
user due to its own weight. The user may
come into contact with the rotating blades and
be seriously injured.
The slope inclinations refer to the weight of the
lawn mower with empty grass catcher box.
With increasing weight, the slope inclination
on which the lawn mower can be used may be
reduced.
► If a STIHL AP 300, AP 300 S, AP 500 or
AR L battery is used: do not mow on slopes
steeper than 20°.
► If a STIHL AP 100, 200 battery is used: do
not mow on slopes steeper than 12°.

► Mow across the slope. Ensure a secure
footing to maintain control of the lawn
mower at all times.
4.8 Transporting
WARNING
■ The lawn mower may tip over or move during
transport. This may result in injury to people
and damage to property.
► Pull out the activation key.
► Remove the battery.
► Secure the lawn mower with lashing straps,
belts or a net so that it cannot tip over and
move.
■ If the activation key and battery are inserted
during transport with self-propulsion disen‐
gaged, self-propulsion may unintentionally be
engaged and the lawn mower may start mov‐
ing. This may result in serious injury to people
and damage to property.
► Pull out the activation key.
► Remove the battery.
■ The lawn mower is heavy. Attempting to carry
the lawn mower without assistance may result
in injury to the user.
► The lawn mower must be carried by two
people.
4.9 Storage
WARNING
■ Children cannot recognise or evaluate the
dangers posed by the lawn mower. This may
result in serious injury to children.
► Pull out the activation key.
► Remove the battery.
► Keep the lawn mower out of the reach of
children.
■ Moisture may cause corrosion of the electrical
contacts on the lawn mower and metal compo‐
nents. This may result in damage to the lawn
mower.
► Pull out the activation key.
► Remove the battery.
► Keep the lawn mower clean and dry.
■ If the activation key and battery are inserted
during storage, self-propulsion may uninten‐
tionally be engaged and the lawn mower may
start moving. This may result in serious injury
to people and damage to property.
► Pull out the activation key.
► Remove the battery.
