blade, damage the mow‐

ing blade or cause per‐

sonal injury or damage to

property (e.g., parked

vehicles, windows).

–

Always wear

proper eye protec‐

tion and keep

bystanders at least

50 ft. (15 m) away

from the work

area. Any persons

who must enter

the restricted area

must also wear

proper eye protec‐

tion.

–

To reduce the risk of damage to property,

also maintain this distance from such

objects as vehicles and windows.

–

Maintaining a minimum distance of 50 ft.

(15 m) cannot eliminate the potential risk

of personal injury and property damage

from thrown objects.

–

Stay behind the handle when the engine

is running or the cutting blade is turning.

–

Shut off the engine immediately if you are

approached while working with the lawn

mower.

–

Never direct discharged material toward

anyone.

–

Never operate the lawn mower without the

grass bag or rear discharge cover in place

and working. Make sure all safety devices

are in place before starting work.

■

To reduce the risk of severe personal injuries

from unintentional starting:

–

Do not put hands or feet

near or under the

machine. Keep clear of

the discharge opening at

all times.

–

Never touch the mowing

blade with your hand, feet

or any other part of your

body while the engine is

running, even if the mow‐

ing blade is not moving.

Keep bystanders at least

50 ft. (15 m) away.

–

If the mowing blade or dis‐

charge chutes become

dirty, clogged or stuck,

always shut off the engine

and make sure the mow‐

ing blade has stopped

before inspecting the

mowing blade. Clean dirt,

grass, weeds and other

material from the mowing

blade and discharge

chutes at regular intervals,

but only after removing

the spark plug boot.

■

A damaged or loose mowing blade may

vibrate, crack, break or come off the lawn

mower, which may result in serious or fatal

injury.

–

Before starting work, examine the blade. If

the blade is damaged or cracked, replace

it immediately. If the blade edge is dull or

nicked, have it sharpened and balanced

or replace it.

–

If the mowing blade loosens after being

properly tightened, stop work immediately

and have the lawn mower repaired by

your authorized STIHL servicing dealer.

–

Never use a lawn mower with a loose or

damaged mowing blade.

DANGER

■

To reduce risk of electrocution:

–

Never operate this lawn

mower in the vicinity of
