Make sure that only persons who are familiar with the instruction manual are permitted to use the machine.43 DEFRNLITESPTNOSVFIDAPLSKTRHU EN 0478 131 9927 E - EN Observe the local regulations regarding permitted operating times for gardening power tools with electric motors. Carefully inspect the complete area on which the machine is to be used and remove any stones, sticks, wires, bones and other foreign objects which could be thrown up by the machine. Obstacles (e.g. tree stumps, roots) can be easily overlooked in long grass. For this reason, mark all foreign objects (obstacles) which are hidden in the lawn and cannot be removed before commencing work with the machine. Remove the packaging material and transport locks before using the machine for the first time. All faulty, worn or damaged parts must be replaced before using the machine. Replace any illegible or damaged danger signs and warnings on the machine. Your STIHL specialist has a supply of replacement stickers and all the other spare parts. The machine must only be used in good operating condition. Before each use, check whether: – The machine is properly assembled. – The cutting tool and the entire cutting unit (mowing blade, fastening elements, mowing deck housing) are in good condition. In particular check for secure fastening, damage (notches or cracks) and wear. – The safety devices (e.g. discharge flap, housing, handlebar, motorstop lever) are in good condition and working properly. – The grass catcher box is undamaged and correctly installed; a damaged grass catcher box must not be used. – The run-down brake of the electric motor is functioning. Carry out any necessary work or consult a specialist dealer. STIHL recommends STIHL specialist dealers. Never switch the motor on without a correctly installed blade. Risk of motor overheating. Follow the instructions in the "Battery" (Ö 4.3) and "Charger" (Ö 4.4) sections.

4.9 Working with your machine

Never work when animals or persons, particularly children, are in the danger area. Do not work at ambient temperatures below +5°C (41°F). Only work during the day or with good artificial light. Do not operate the machine in the rain or during thunder storms, particularly when there is a risk of lightning strike. Caution – risk of injury! Never put hands or feet on or underneath rotating parts. Never touch the rotating blade. Always keep away from the discharge opening. Always observe the safety distance provided by the handlebar. The handlebar must always be installed correctly and must not be modified. Never operate the machine with the handlebar folded down. The switch and safety devices installed in the machine must not be removed or bypassed. In particular, never secure the motorstop lever to the handlebar (e.g. by tying it). Never attach any objects to the handlebar (e.g. work clothing). The risk of accidents is higher if the ground is damp due to increased danger of slipping. Particular caution should be exercised during working in order to prevent slipping. If possible, avoid using the machine when the ground is damp. Do not leave the machine in the rain. Always keep the battery compartment closed during operation. Switching on the machine: Exercise care when switching on the machine and observe the instructions in the section "Initial operation of the machine". (Ö 12.) Keep your feet a safe distance from the cutting tool. Place the machine on an even surface before switching it on. The machine must not be tilted before it is switched on or during switching-on. Do not switch on the motor if the discharge chute is not covered by the discharge flap or the grass catcher box. Avoid switching the machine on repeatedly within a short period of time; in particular avoid "playing" with the ON button. Risk of motor overheating. Working on slopes: Always work across and back on slopes, 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.0478 131 9927 E - EN

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 put hands or feet on or underneath rotating parts. Never touch the rotating blade. Always keep away from the discharge opening. Always observe the safety distance provided by the handlebar. Do not try to examine the blade 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! 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. If the cutting tool or the machine hits an obstacle or a foreign object, the motor must be switched off, the safety plug 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 than grass, – when pushing the machine to and from mowing areas, – before removing the grass catcher box, – before adjusting the cutting height. Switch off the motor, disconnect the safety plug and ensure that the cutting tool has come to a complete standstill – before removing the battery; – before leaving the machine unattended; – before transporting, lifting, or carrying the machine; – before remedying blockages, including those in the discharge chute; – before you check, clean or carry out work on the machine (e.g. folding down or adjusting the handlebar); – if the cutting tool has hit a foreign object. The cutting tool needs to be checked for possible damage. The machine must not be operated with a damaged or bent blade shaft or motor shaft. Risk of injury through defective parts! – if the machine begins to vibrate excessively. In this case, the complete machine, in particular the cutting tool, must be checked for possible damage and loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced prior to further use, loose parts must be fastened/tightened.

4.10 Maintenance, cleaning, repairs

and storage Before performing work on the machine, before adjusting or cleaning ● Switch off the motor ● Remove the safety plug ● Remove the battery if necessary Allow the machine to fully cool down before storing it in enclosed places, performing maintenance on it or cleaning it. Risk of injury! Strong vibration is normally an indication of a fault. In particular, the machine must not be operated with a damaged or bent blade shaft or mowing blade. If you do not have the appropriate expertise, have the necessary repairs carried out by a specialist dealer (STIHL recommends STIHL specialist dealers).45 DEFRNLITESPTNOSVFIDAPLSKTRHU EN 0478 131 9927 E - EN Cleaning: The complete machine must be cleaned thoroughly following use. (Ö 13.2) Remove accumulated clipping deposits using a stick. Clean the underside of the mower with water and a brush.

Level S = 20 mm Level 5 = 70 mm Setting cutting height: ● 1 Push height adjustment lever (1) away from the lawn mower slightly until the lever is released from locating lugs (2). ● 2 Raise or lower the lawn mower. Increasing cutting height: Raise the lawn mower using height adjustment lever (1) (push lever forwards). Decreasing cutting height: Lower the lawn mower using height adjustment lever (1) (push lever rearwards). Danger of pinching! When actuating the detent lever, always hold the upper handlebar with one hand at its highest point. Never place your fingers between the handlebar and console (over and under the detent lever).

Danger of pinching! The upper handlebar can be folded down when the rotary handles are released. Therefore hold the upper handlebar with one hand at its highest point when unscrewing the rotary handles.

In order to prevent damage, the lowest cutting height must only be used on even lawns (without bumps). 160478 131 9927 E - EN

● Push height adjustment lever (1) towards the lawn mower until locating lugs (2) engage in the lever. The selected cutting height can be read off at front locating lug (3).

9.7 Grass catcher box

Attaching: ● Open ejection flap (1) and hold it open. ● Attach grass catcher box (2) to mountings (4) on rear of machine by means of locating lugs (3). ● Close ejection flap (1). Detaching: ● Open ejection flap (1) and hold it open. ● Lift grass catcher box (2) and remove rearwards. ● Close ejection flap (1).

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 (1) returns to its resting state. This is a prompt to empty the grass catcher box. The functionality of the level indicator is restricted if the flow of air is impaired. External influences such as wet, dense or high grass, low cutting levels, contamination or the like can impair the flow of air and the functionality of the level indicator. A Grass catcher box is being filled B Grass catcher box is filled ● Empty the filled grass catcher box (Ö 12.4).

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).

10.2 Cutting performance

The cutting performance (battery running time) depends on the quality of the grass and the selected cutting height. The cutting performance is enhanced by the following measures: – Mowing the lawn more frequently – Increasing the cutting height – Reducing speed of propulsion – Allowing the lawn to dry before mowing. If required, additional STIHL lithium ion batteries can be purchased (special accessories). Eco mode: The lawn mower features an eco mode, which improves its energy efficiency and therefore its cutting performance. Eco mode can be switched on and off using the switch in the battery compartment. (Ö 9.3) Function: The speed of the motor is reduced automatically when less power is required. If more power is required, the speed is increased again within a fraction of a second.

10.3 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.)

10.4 Correct motor load

Do not switch the lawn mower on in tall grass. Select a higher cutting height setting if the motor is difficult to start. The lawn mower load must never cause the motor speed to drop significantly. If the speed drops when mowing tall grass, select a higher cutting height setting and/or reduce the speed of propulsion.

10. Notes on working with

the machine When eco mode is switched on, the speed is reduced automatically when less power is required. (Ö 10.2)

Switch off the motor immediately and disconnect the safety plug. Then eliminate the cause of the fault.

10.6 Thermal motor overload

protection The electronics switch off the motor if it becomes overloaded during operation. Three red LEDs in the battery illuminate if a thermal overload occurs. (Ö 8.5) Causes for an overload: – blunt mowing blade – mowing excessively high grass or cutting height adjusted too low – excessive rate of feed – inadequate cleaning of the cooling air guide (inlet slots) Recommencing operation Resume normal operation of the machine following a cooling period of up to 10 min (depending on the ambient temperature). (Ö 12.) The machine is equipped with several safety devices for safe operation and for the prevention of improper use.

The motor can only be switched on when the safety plug is inserted (Ö 9.2).

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.

11.3 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.

11.4 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. Measuring run-down time Following motor start-up, the blade rotates and a wind noise is audible. The run-down time corresponds to the duration of the wind noise after the motor stops. This can be measured using a stopwatch.

12.1 Preparatory measures

● Charge the battery and insert it into the battery compartment. (Ö 8.4) ● Insert the safety plug. (Ö 9.2)

12.2 Switching on lawn mower

● 1 Press and hold the ON button (1). ● 2 Pull motorstop lever (2) to the handlebar and hold. ● The ON button (1) can be released once motorstop lever (2) is pulled.

Tightening torque:

13.8 Sharpening the mowing blade

If you do not have the necessary expertise or auxiliary equipment, you should have the blade sharpened by a specialist dealer (STIHL recommends STIHL specialist dealers). Operation of the machine is impaired in the case of an incorrectly sharpened mowing blade (incorrect sharpening angle, imbalance, etc.), the cutting performance (battery running time) may be reduced and the noise emissions increased. Sharpening instructions ● Remove the mowing blade. (Ö 13.7) ● Cool the mowing blade during sharpening, e.g. with water. The blade must not be allowed to display blue colouring, as this would reduce its cutting quality. ● Sharpen blades evenly to prevent vibration due to imbalance. ● Observe a sharpening angle of 30°. ● Observe the wear limits. (Ö 13.6)

13.9 Storage (winter break)

Store the machine in a dry and locked place that is generally free of dust. Make sure that it is kept out of the reach of children. Risk of injury! Blades are subjected to differing degrees of wear depending on the location and duration of use. If you use the machine on sandy ground or use it frequently under dry conditions, the blade will be subjected to greater loads and will wear more quickly than average. A worn blade may break off and cause serious injuries. The instructions for blade maintenance must therefore always be observed.

In order to prevent damage to the blade fastening screw, use a suitable socket (22 mm) for loosening and tightening. Risk of injury! The mowing blade must only be installed as shown, in particular tabs (6) must face downwards. Always replace blade fastening screw (3) when replacing the mowing blade. The specified torque when tightening the blade fastening screw must be strictly observed, as the secure attachment of the cutting tool depends on this. 250478 131 9927 E - EN

Only store the lawn mower in good operating condition, fold down the handlebar if necessary. Keep all nuts, pins and bolts tightly fastened, replace danger signs and warnings on the machine that have become illegible, check the entire machine for wear and damage. Replace all worn or damaged parts. Any machine faults must be completely remedied prior to storage. Note the following points when storing the lawn mower for long periods (winter break): ● Clean all external parts of the machine with care. ● Thoroughly lubricate/grease all moving parts. Storing the battery: ● Remove battery from the battery compartment or out of the charger. ● Clean the battery. ● Store the battery in a dry locked place that is generally free of dust in electrically non-conductive packaging.
