STIHL recommends the use of original
STIHL parts and accessories. They are
specifically designed to match the
product and meet your performance
requirements.
Never attempt to modify your power tool
in any way since this may increase the
risk of personal injury. STIHL excludes
all liability for personal injury and
damage to property caused while using
unauthorized attachments.
Do not use a high-pressure washer to
clean the power tool. The solid jet of
water may damage parts of the unit.
Clothing and equipment
Wear proper protective clothing and
equipment.
Clothing must be sturdy
but allow complete free-
dom of movement. Wear
snug-fitting clothing, e.g.
an overall and jacket
combination, do not wear
a work coat.
Avoid any clothing,
scarves, neckties, jewelry
or anything that could get
into the air intake. Tie up
and confine long hair
above your shoulders.
Wear sturdy shoes with non-slip soles.

Before starting

assembled and in good condition – refer
to appropriate chapters in the
KombiEngine and KombiTool user
manuals.
A worn fan housing (cracks, nicks,
–
chips) may result in an increased
risk of injury from thrown foreign
objects
If the fan housing is damaged,
–
consult your dealer – STIHL
recommends you contact a STIHL
dealer.
Never attempt to modify the controls
–
or safety devices
Keep the handles dry and clean –
–
free from oil and dirt – this is
important for safe control of the
machine
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do
not operate your power tool if it is
damaged or not properly assembled!
To prepare for emergencies when using
a harness: Practice setting down the
machine quickly. To avoid damage, do
not throw the machine to the ground
when practicing.
See also notes on "Before Starting" in
the user manual of the KombiEngine you
are using.
While working
Do not direct the air blast towards
bystanders or animals – the machine
may eject small objects at high speed –
risk of injury!.
In the event of impending danger or in
an emergency, switch off the engine
immediately by moving the slide control
/ stop switch / stop button to STOP or 0.
To reduce the risk
of injury, do not
allow any other
persons within a
radius of 5 meters
of your own
position.
This distance must also be maintained in
relation to objects (vehicles, window
panes) – risk of property damage!
