Transporting - Stihl RMA 765 V Instruction Manual

4 Safety Precautions
￭ If working without self-propulsion when mowing, self-
propulsion may unintentionally be engaged and the lawn
mower may start moving. This may result in serious injury
to people and damage to property.
► Only press the control bar for self-propulsion if self-
propulsion is to be engaged.
￭ If the lawn mower changes or starts to behave differently
when working, it may not be in safe condition. This may
result in serious injury to people and damage to property.
► Stop working, pull out the activation key, remove the
battery and consult a STIHL specialist dealer.
￭ The lawn mower may cause vibrations when working.
► Wear gloves.
► Take breaks.
► If signs of a circulatory disturbance occur: consult a
doctor.
￭ If the blade hits a foreign object when working, the blade
or parts of it may be damaged or thrown up at high
velocity. This may result in injury to people and damage to
property.
► Remove foreign objects from the work area.
￭ When the control bar for mowing is released, the blade
continues to turn for a short time. This may result in
serious injury to people.
► Wait until the blade is no longer turning.
￭ Sparks may be produced if the turning blade hits 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 environment.
￭ If the blades hit a foreign object when working, the blades
may be damaged or the blade position may be changed.
► If the blades hit an object, switch the lawn mower off and
check the lawn mower and blades.
