24 General and Product-Specific Safety Instructions

24.1 Introduction

This section reproduces the general and product-specific safety instructions prescribed and preformulated in the product standard.

The safety information for avoiding electric shock given under "Electrical Safety" is not applicable to STIHL battery products, with the exception of point c).

WARNING

  • Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this lawn mower. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

24.2 Work Area Safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate lawn mowers in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Lawn mowers create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a lawn mower. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

24.3 Electrical Safety

a) Lawn mower plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) lawn mowers. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose lawn mowers to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a lawn mower will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the lawn mower. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a lawn mower outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a lawn mower in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

24.4 Personal Safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a lawn mower. Do not use a lawn mower while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating lawn mowers may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the lawn mower. Carrying lawn mowers with your finger on the switch or energising lawn mowers that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the lawn mower on. A wrench or a

24 General and Product-Specific Safety Instructions

key left attached to a rotating part of the lawn mower may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the lawn mower in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of lawn mowers allow you to become complacent and ignore lawn mower safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

24.5 Lawn Mower Use and Care

a) Do not force the lawn mower. Use the correct lawn mower for your application. The correct lawn mower will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the lawn mower if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any lawn mower that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the lawn mower before making any adjustments, changing accessories or storing lawn mowers. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the lawn mower accidentally.
d) Store idle lawn mowers out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the lawn mower or these instructions to operate the lawn mower. Lawn mowers are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain lawn mowers and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the lawn mower's operation. If damaged, have the lawn mower repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained lawn mowers.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the lawn mower, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the lawn mower for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the lawn mower in unexpected situations.

24.6 Battery Lawn Mower Use and Care

a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
b) Use lawn mowers only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or lawn mower that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or lawn mower to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130^ may cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or lawn mower outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

24.7 Service

a) Have your lawn mower serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the lawn mower is maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorised service providers.

24.8 Safety Instructions for Battery Lawn Mowers

a) Do not use the lawn mower in bad weather conditions, especially when there is a risk of lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
b) Thoroughly inspect the area for wildlife where the lawn mower is to be used. Wildlife may be injured by the lawn mower during operation.
c) Thoroughly inspect the area where the lawn mower is to be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones, and other foreign objects. Thrown objects can cause personal injury.
d) Before using the lawn mower, always visually inspect to see that the blade and the blade assembly are not worn or damaged. Worn or damaged parts increase the risk of injury.
e) Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or deterioration. A worn or damaged grass catcher may increase the risk of personal injury.
f) Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working order and be properly mounted. A guard that is loose, damaged, or is not functioning correctly may result in personal injury.
g) Keep all cooling air inlets clear of debris.
Blocked air inlets and debris may result in overheating or risk of fire.
h) While operating the lawn mower, always wear non-slip and protective footwear. Do not operate the lawn mower when barefoot or wearing open sandals. This reduces the chance of injury to the feet from contact with the moving blade.
i) While operating the lawn mower, always wear long trousers. Exposed skin increases the likelihood of injury from thrown objects.
j) Do not operate the lawn mower in wet grass. Walk, never run. This reduces the risk of slip

ping and falling which may result in personal injury.

k) Do not operate the lawn mower on excessively steep slopes. This reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and falling which may result in personal injury.
1) When working on slopes, always be sure of your footing, always work across the face of slopes, never up or down and exercise extreme caution when changing direction. This reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and falling which may result in personal injury.
m) Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the lawn mower towards you. Always be aware of your surroundings. This reduces the risk of tripping during operation.
n) Do not touch blades and other hazardous moving parts while they are still in motion. This reduces the risk of injury from moving parts.
o) When clearing jammed material or cleaning the lawn mower, make sure all power switches are off and the battery pack is disconnected. Unexpected operation of the lawn mower may result in serious personal injury.
