never up and down.
If the user loses control when mowing up
and down, there is a risk of being run over
by the machine.
Be particularly careful when changing
direction on a slope.
Always ensure good stability on slopes
and avoid mowing on excessively steep
slopes.
For safety reasons, the machine must not
be used on slopes with an inclination of
more than 25° (46.6%). Risk of injury!
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 place your hands or feet
on, underneath or above
rotating part. Never touch the
rotating blade. Always keep away from the
discharge opening. Always observe the

while the machine is operating.
Never open the discharge flap
and/or remove the grass catcher box when
the mowing blade is running. 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!
Never lift or carry the machine with the
motor running or the mains lead
connected.
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.
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.
If the cutting tool or the machine hits an
obstacle or a foreign object, the motor
must be switched off, the power cable
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

8.1 General points
To ensure a perfect, thick lawn, mow
regularly and keep the grass short.
Do not cut the lawn too short in hot, dry
conditions as it will dry out or burn in the
sun and become unsightly.
The cutting pattern will be better with a
sharp blade than with a blunt one; the
blade should therefore be sharpened
regularly (STIHL specialist dealer).
8.2 Correct motor load
Do not switch on the lawn mower in tall
grass or at the lowest cutting height.
The lawn mower load must never cause
the motor speed to drop significantly.
If the speed drops, select a higher cutting
height setting and/or reduce the rate of
feed.
8.3 If the mowing blade blocks
Switch off the motor immediately and
disconnect the mains plug. Then eliminate
the cause of the fault.
8.4 Thermal motor overload protection
If an overload of the motor occurs during
operation, the built-in thermal overload
protection device automatically switches
off the motor.
Causes for an overload:
mowing excessively high grass or
cutting height adjusted too low,
excessive rate of feed,
inadequate cleaning of the cooling air
guide (inlet slots),
mowing blade is blunt or worn,
unsuitable or excessively long electric
cable – voltage loss (Ö 10.1).
Recommencing operation
Resume normal operation of the machine
following a cooling period of up to 20 min
(depending on the ambient temperature)
(Ö 10.).
8.5 Working area for operator
For safety reasons, the operator
must stay within the working area
behind the handlebar when the motor is
running. Always observe the safety
distance provided by the handlebar.
The lawn mower must only be operated
by one person. Other persons must
keep out of the danger area. (Ö 4.)
The machine is equipped with several
safety devices for safe operation and for
the prevention of improper use.
9.1 Safety devices
The lawn mower is equipped with safety
devices, which prevent inadvertent contact
with the mowing blade and with ejected
clippings.
These include the housing, discharge flap,
grass catcher box and correctly installed
handlebar.
9.2 Two-hand operation
The motor can only be switched on by
pressing and holding the ON button with
the right hand and then pulling the
motorstop lever to the handlebar with the
left hand.
9.3 Motor run-down brake
When the motorstop lever is released, the
mowing blade comes to a complete
standstill in less than three seconds.
An integrated motor run-down brake
shortens the run-down time until the blade
stops.
8. Notes on working with the
machine
Risk of injury!
Untangle any knots in the cable
immediately.
Guide the electric cable behind you
when mowing. Electric cables can
be inadvertently cut when mowing
and present a tripping hazard. They
therefore involve a high accident
risk. For this reason, mow so that
the electric cable is always visible
in the area of grass that has already
been cut.

9. Safety devices
Risk of injury!
If a safety device is found to be
defective, the machine must not be
operated. Consult a specialist
dealer; STIHL recommends STIHL
specialist dealers.

10.1 Electrical connection
Only electric cables which are no lighter
than rubber sheathed cables H07 RN-
F DIN/VDE 0282 may be used as electric
cables.
Minimum cross-section:
up to 25 m length: 3 x 1.5 mm²
up to 50 m length: 3 x 2.5 mm²
The connectors of the electric cable must
be made of rubber or have a rubber cover
and conform to the standard
DIN/VDE 0620.
The mains voltage and mains frequency
must correspond to the information on the
rating plate and the information contained
in the section "Technical specifications"
(Ö 17.).
The power cable must be adequately
protected by fuse (Ö 17.).
This machine is intended for operation with
a power supply having a system
impedance of Z
max
at the transfer point
(house connection) of maximum
0.49 Ohm (at 50 Hz).
The user must ensure that the machine is
only operated with a power supply which
meets this requirement. If necessary, this
information can be obtained from the local
electric power company.
10.2 Strain relief
During working, the strain relief
prevents any unintentional
disconnection of the electric cable and any
resulting damage to the mains connection
on the machine.
For this reason, the electric cable must be
fed through the strain relief.
Form a loop in the power cable (1) and
guide it through the opening (2).
Then push the loop over the hook (3)
and pull it tight.
10.3 Switching on the lawn
mower
Press and hold down the ON button (1).
Pull motorstop lever (2) to handlebar
and hold.
The ON button (1) can be released
once motorstop lever (2) is pressed.
10.4 Switching off lawn mower
Release motorstop lever (1).
Motor and mowing blade come to
a stop after a short run-down time.
10.5 Emptying the grass catcher
box
Detach the grass catcher box. (Ö 7.1)
Open the grass catcher box at the
tab (1). Fold up the upper part of the
grass catcher box (2) and hold. Fold the
grass catcher box rearwards and empty
the clippings.
Close the grass catcher box.
Attach the grass catcher box. (Ö 7.1)
11.1 General
Annual service by the specialist dealer:
The lawn mower should be inspected once
annually by a specialist dealer. STIHL
recommends STIHL specialist dealers.
When the motor is switched on, the
blade rotates and a wind noise is
audible. The run-on time
corresponds to the duration of the
wind noise after switching off the
motor. This can be measured using
a stopwatch.
10. Operating the machine
Danger of electric shock!
Observe the safety instructions in
the section "For your safety"
(Ö 4.2).
If using a cable drum, the
connection cord must be unwound
completely, otherwise electrical
resistance may cause loss of power
and overheating.
Do not start the motor in high grass
or when the mower is set to the
lowest cutting height, as this makes
switching on difficult.
