hills.

For safety reasons, any modification to the
machine, except the proper installation of
accessories approved by STIHL, is
forbidden and results in voiding of the
warranty cover. Information regarding
approved accessories can be obtained
from your STIHL specialist dealer.
In particular, any tampering with the
machine which increases the power output
or speed of the engine or motor is
forbidden.
It is not permitted to transport objects,
animals or persons, particularly children,
on the machine.
Particular care is required during use in
public green spaces, parks, sports fields,

Caution! Danger to health due
to vibrations.
Excessive
exposure to vibrations can
result in damage to the
cardiovascular or nervous system,
particularly in persons with cardiovascular
problems. Please consult a physician if
you experience symptoms that may have
been caused by vibrational loads.
Symptoms of this kind principally affect the
fingers, hands or wrists and include
(incomplete list):
– numbness,
– pain,
– muscular weakness,
– skin discolouration,
– unpleasant tingling sensation.
Hold the handlebar tightly, but not tensed,
with both hands in the designated
locations during operation.
Plan your working times so that more
severe physical strains over a longer
period are avoided.
4.2 Refilling the tank – handling petrol
Petrol must only be stored in appropriate,
tested containers (canisters). Always
screw on the fuel tank and canister caps
properly and tightly. Defective caps must
be replaced for safety reasons.
Never use beverage bottles or similar for
disposal or storage of fuels and lubricants.
Persons, particularly children, could be
tempted to drink out of them.
Keep petrol away from sparks,
naked flames, pilot lights, heat
sources, and other ignition
sources. Do not smoke!
Refill the tank out-of-doors and do not
smoke during refilling.
Before refilling the tank, stop the engine
and allow it to cool.
Refilling with petrol must be performed
before the engine is started. When the
engine is running or is hot, the tank cap
must not be removed and the tank must
not be refilled with petrol.
Do not overfill the fuel tank!
To give the fuel room to expand,
never fill the fuel tank past the
lower edge of the filler neck.
Observe the additional
instructions in the engine
instruction manual.
If petrol is spilled, the engine
must only be started after the petrol-
contaminated area has been cleaned. All
attempts at starting must be avoided until
the petrol fumes have dispersed (wipe
dry).
Any spilt fuel must be wiped up
immediately.
Clothing must be changed if it comes into
contact with petrol.
Never store the machine with petrol in the
tank inside a building. The resulting petrol
fumes could come into contact with naked
flames or sparks and could be ignited.
If it is necessary to drain the tank, this must
be done out of doors.
4.3 Battery and charger
Read the engine instruction manual and
keep it in a safe place. This instruction
manual describes how to safely use the
battery and charger.
Only use genuine batteries and genuine
chargers.
Protect the battery and charger against
rain and moisture and do not drop.
Do not use a damaged or deformed
battery or a damaged charger. In particular
check the power cable of the charger.
Never use a charger with a damaged
power cable.
Danger to life!
Petrol is poisonous and extremely
inflammable.
