■ The lawn mower warms up while working. The
petrol expands and overpressure may occur in
the fuel tank. Petrol may gush out when the
fuel tank cap is opened. The gushing petrol
may ignite. This may result in serious injury to
the user.
► Allow the lawn mower to cool down before
opening the fuel tank cap.
■ Clothing that comes into contact with petrol is
highly inflammable. This may result in serious
or fatal injury to people and damage to prop‐
erty.
► If clothing comes into contact with petrol:
change clothing.
■ Petrol poses a risk to the environment.
► Do not spill fuel.
► Dispose of petrol in accordance with regula‐
tions and in an environmentally acceptable
way.
■ If petrol comes into contact with the skin or
eyes, this may cause irritation.
► Avoid contact with petrol.
► In the event of contact with the skin: wash
the affected areas with plenty of soap and
water.
► In the event of contact with the eyes: rinse
the eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes and seek medical attention.
■ The lawn mower's ignition system generates
sparks. Sparks may escape and cause fires
and explosions in highly inflammable or explo‐
sive environments. This may result in serious
or fatal injury to people and damage to prop‐
erty.
► Use the spark plugs described in the engine
instruction manual.
► Screw in the spark plug and tighten.
► Press on the spark plug socket firmly.
■ The lawn mower may be damaged if it is refu‐
elled with petrol that is not suitable for the
engine.
► Use fresh, good-quality unleaded petrol.
► Observe the specifications in the engine
instruction manual.

they do not start the engine correctly. This
may result in serious injury to the user.
► Start the engine as described in this instruc‐
tion manual.
■ In certain situations, the user may no longer
be able to concentrate on their work. This may
result in the user stumbling, falling and becom‐
ing seriously injured.

greater than 25° (46.6%).
► Use the lawn mower with particular care
when working near slopes, terraces,
ditches, rubbish piles and embankments.

severe physical strains over a longer period
are avoided.

is running. Breathing in exhaust fumes may
result in poisoning.
► Do not breathe in exhaust fumes.
► Use the lawn mower in a well-ventilated
place.
► If nausea, headaches, vision problems,
hearing problems or dizziness occur: stop
working and consult a doctor.
■ If the user is wearing hearing protection and
the engine is running, their perception and
assessment of noise may be limited.
► Work calmly and carefully.
■ The lawn mower is equipped with a motorstop
device.
► Releasing the control bar for mowing cau‐
ses the engine and blade to stop within 3
seconds.
■ The turning blade may cut the user. This may
result in serious injury to the user.
► Detach the spark plug socket.
► Do not touch a turning blade.
► If the blade is blocked by an object:
stop the engine. Only then remove
the object.
■ 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 and consult a STIHL special‐
ist dealer.
