Thickness a
–
Width b
–
Sharpening angle c
–
► If the minimum thickness or minimum width
are fallen below: replace the blade, 20.2.

12.3Mowing
► Detach the grass catcher box.
► Open tab (1).
► Open and hold upper part of grass catcher
box (2) by handle (3).
► Hold the lower handle with the second hand.
► Empty the grass catcher box.
► Close the grass catcher box.
► Attach the grass catcher box.
13After Finishing Work
► Push the lawn mower forwards slowly and in a
controlled manner.
12.4ECO Mode
The STIHL cordless lawn mower detects the cur‐
rent working conditions and adjusts the blade
speed automatically.
This may extend the battery life.
12.5Emptying the Grass Catcher
Box
The flow of air generated by the blade raises
level indicator (1). The flow of air stops when the
grass catcher box is full. If the flow of air is too
low, level indicator (2) returns to its resting state.
This is a prompt to empty the grass catcher box.
The functionality of the level indicator is restric‐
ted if the flow of air is impaired. External influen‐
ces such as wet, dense or high grass, low cutting
levels, dirt or the like can impair the flow of air
and the functionality of the level indicator.
► If the level indicator drops to its resting state:
empty the grass catcher box.
► Switch the lawn mower off.
13.1After Finishing Work
► Switch off the mower, remove the activation
key and battery.
► If the mower is wet: Allow the mower to dry.

25.2Training
Read the instruction manual carefully.
a)
Ensure that you are familiar with the controls
and the correct use of the machine;
Never allow children or other persons who
b)
are not familiar with the instructions for use
to use the lawn mower. Local regulations
may specify a minimum age for users;
Never mow in the vicinity of other persons,
c)
particularly children or animals;
Be aware that the person operating the
d)
machine or the user is responsible for acci‐
dents involving third parties or their property.
25.3Preparatory Measures
Always wear sturdy shoes and long trousers
a)
when operating the machine. Never operate
the machine barefoot or in lightweight san‐
dals. Avoid wearing loose clothing or clothing
with hanging cords or belts.
Inspect the area on which the machine is to
b)
be used and remove any objects that could
be taken in and thrown up by the machine.
Before using the machine, always visually
c)
inspect the cutting blade, the retaining pins
and the entire cutting unit for wear or dam‐
age. To avoid imbalance, worn or damaged
cutting blades and retaining pins must be
replaced in pairs. Worn or damaged warning
signs must be replaced.
25.4Handling
Only mow during the day or with good artifi‐
a
)
cial light.
If possible, avoid using the machine when
b)
the grass is wet.
Always ensure good stability on slopes.
c)
Operate the machine only at walking pace.
d)
Only mow across and never up or down the
e)
slope.
Be particularly careful when changing direc‐
f)
tion on a slope.
Do not mow on excessively steep slopes.
g)
Be particularly careful when turning the lawn
h)
mower around or pulling it towards you.
Stop the cutting blade(s) when the machine
i)
needs to be tilted for transportation over sur‐
faces other than grass and when moving the
lawn mower from and to the area to be
mown.
j)
safety devices or protective grilles or without
attached safety devices, e.g. deflectors
and/or grass-catching units.
Exercise care when starting or pressing the
k)
starting switch and observe the manufactur‐
er's instructions. Ensure that you keep your
feet far enough away from the cutting
blade(s).
The lawn mower must not be tilted when
l)
starting it, unless the lawn mower needs to
be lifted during the process. In this case, only
tilt it as far as is absolutely necessary and
only raise the side facing away from the
user.
Do not start the motor when you are standing
m)
in front of the discharge chute.
Never put hands or feet on or underneath
n)
rotating parts. Always keep away from the
discharge opening.
Never lift or carry a lawn mower with the
o)
motor running.
Stop the motor and pull out the starting key.
p)
Ensure that all moving parts have come to a
complete stop:
whenever you leave the lawn mower;
–
before remedying blockages, including
–
those in the discharge chute;
before checking, cleaning or working on
–
the lawn mower;
after hitting a foreign object. Inspect the
–
lawn mower for damage and perform the
necessary repairs before re-starting and
using the lawn mower.
If the lawn mower begins to vibrate exces‐
sively, it must be checked immediately.
Check for damage;
–
make the necessary repairs to damaged
–
parts;
ensure that all screws, pins and bolts are
–
tightly fastened.
25.5Maintenance and Storage
Ensure that all nuts, pins and bolts are tightly
a
)
fastened and that the machine is in a safe
working condition.
Check the grass-catching unit regularly for
b)
wear or loss of functionality.
In the interests of safety, replace all worn or
c)
damaged parts.
Be aware that on machines with more than
d)
one cutting blade, the movement of one cut‐
0478-131-9541-B21
español
ting blade can cause the other cutting blade
to turn.
Ensure when adjusting the machine that your
e)
fingers do not become pinched between
moving cutting blades and stationary parts of
the machine.
Allow the motor to cool down before storing
f)
the machine.
Note when maintaining the cutting blades
g)
that the cutting blades can be moved even if
the power source is switched off.
In the interests of safety, replace all worn or
h)
damaged parts. Only use genuine spare
parts and accessories.
