"Main Parts."
WARNING
Never modify your lawn mower in any
way. Only attachments supplied by
STIHL or expressly authorized by STIHL
for use with the specific STIHL model
are recommended. Although certain
unauthorized attachments are useable
with STIHL power tools, their use may,
in fact, be extremely dangerous.
If your lawn mower is subjected to
unusually high loads for which it was not
designed (e.g. heavy impact or a fall),
always check that it and the battery are
in good condition before continuing work
– see also "Before Starting Work." Make

sure all safety devices are working
properly. Do not continue operating your
lawn mower if it is damaged. In case of
doubt, have it checked by your STIHL
servicing dealer.
Battery
WARNING
Risk of fire, explosion
and/or burns, including
chemical burns. Do not
disassemble, crush, heat
above 212 °F (100 °C),
expose to fire or inciner-
ate. Never expose the
battery to microwaves or
high pressures.
Do not place the battery on or near fires,
stoves or in other high-temperature
locations. Do not place the battery in
direct sunlight or store it inside a vehicle
in hot weather. Doing so may cause the
battery to generate heat, rupture or
ignite. Using the batteries in this manner
may also result in a loss of performance
and a shortened battery life.
In case of fire: stay clear of any vapors
or gases generated, taking the wind
direction into account. If possible without
danger, remove the battery from the
vicinity of the fire. Cooling the battery or
extinguishing the fire with ample
amounts of water may be possible. It is
preferable, however, to extinguish the
fire with a multipurpose dry chemical fire
extinguisher. As for any fire, evacuate
the area and call the fire authorities.
Once the fire has been extinguished, the
area should be monitored (fire watch) in
case of a flare-up, until the battery has
cooled sufficiently. Restrict access to the
area until the completion of clean-up. Do
not touch the burned battery or any
spilled liquids. Use an inert absorbent
such as sand on spilled liquids.
Use and store the bat-
tery only within a
temperature range from
14 °F (-10 °C) to 122 °F
(50 °C). Protect the bat-
tery from direct sunlight.
WARNING

Charge only with STIHL AL chargers.
Use of unauthorized batteries can
damage the mower and result in fire,
explosion and personal injury and
property damage.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of per-
sonal injury or property
damage from a short cir-
cuit, fire or explosion,
keep the battery dry.Pro-
tect it from rain, water,
liquids and damp condi-
tions. Never immerse the
battery in water or other
liquids.
WARNING
Do not open, drop, hit or damage the
battery. Never insert objects into the
battery's cooling slots, since they may
damage the battery. The battery
contains safety features and devices
which, if damaged, may cause the
battery to generate heat, rupture or
