– unsuitable or excessively long electric
cable – voltage loss (Ö 11.1).
Recommencing operation
Resume normal operation of the machine
following a cooling period of up to 10 min
(depending on the ambient temperature)
(Ö 11.).
The machine is equipped with several
safety devices for safe operation and for
the prevention of improper use.
10.1 Safety devices
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.
10.2 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.
10.3 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.
11.1 Electrical connection
Only electric cables which are no lighter
than rubber sheathed cables H07 RN-
F DIN/VDE 0282 may be used as electric
cables.
Minimum cross-section:
up to 25 m length: 3 x 1.5 mm²
up to 50 m length: 3 x 2.5 mm²
The connectors of the electric cable must
be made of rubber or have a rubber cover
and conform to the standard
DIN/VDE 0620.
The mains voltage and mains frequency
must correspond to the information on the
rating plate and the information contained
in the section "Technical specifications"
(Ö 18.).
The power cable must be adequately
protected by fuse (Ö 18.).
This machine is intended for operation with
a power supply having a system
impedance of Z
max
at the transfer point
(house connection) of maximum
0.49 Ohm (at 50 Hz).
The user must ensure that the machine is
only operated with a power supply which
meets this requirement. If necessary, this
information can be obtained from the local
electric power company.
11.2 Strain relief
During working, the strain relief
prevents any unintentional
disconnection of the electric cable and any
resulting damage to the mains connection
on the machine.
For this reason, the electric cable must be
fed through the strain relief.
● Form a loop in the power cable (1) and
guide it through the opening (2).
● Then push the loop over the hook (3)
and pull it tight.
11.3 Switching on the lawn
mower
● Press and hold down the ON button (1).
Pull motorstop lever (2) to handlebar
and hold.
● The ON button (1) can be released
once motorstop lever (2) is pressed.
10. Safety devices
Risk of injury!
If a safety device is found to be
defective, the machine must not be
operated. Consult a specialist
dealer; STIHL recommends STIHL
specialist dealers.
11. Operating the machine
Danger of electric shock!
Observe the safety instructions in
the section "For your safety"
(Ö 4.8).
If using a cable drum, the
connection cord must be unwound
completely, otherwise electrical
resistance may cause loss of power
and overheating.
Do not start the motor in high grass
or when the mower is set to the
lowest cutting height, as this makes
switching on difficult.
