3 Safety Precautions and Working Techniques
Place the unit on a flat surface in an open area.
Make sure you have good balance and secure
footing. Hold the unit securely. The work tool
must be clear of the ground and all other
obstructions because it may begin to run when
the engine starts.
To reduce the risk of injury, avoid contact with
the work tool.
Do not drop-start the power tool – start the
engine as described in the User Manual. Note
that the attachment continues to run for a short
period after you let go of the throttle trigger – fly‐
wheel effect.
Check idle speed setting: The attachment must
be stationary when the engine is idling with the
throttle trigger released.
Keep easily combustible materials (e.g., wood
chips, bark, dry grass, fuel) away from hot
exhaust gases and hot muffler surfaces – risk of
fire!
See also notes on "Starting / Stopping the
Engine" in the User Manual of the KombiTool
you are using.
3.6 Holding and Controlling the
Power Tool
Always hold the power tool firmly with both
hands on the handles.
Make sure you always have a firm and secure
footing.
Left hand on loop handle, right hand on control
handle, even if you are left-handed.
3.7 While Working
In the event of impending danger or in an emer‐
gency, switch off the engine immediately. Move
the slide control/stop switch to STOP or 0.
The correct engine idle speed is important to
ensure that the work tool stops moving when you

let go of the throttle trigger. If the working tool
continues to move when the engine is idling,
have your dealer check the machine and make
proper adjustments or repairs. Check and correct
the idle speed setting at regular intervals. STIHL
recommends you have this work done by a
STIHL servicing dealer.
Be particularly alert and cautious when wearing
hearing protection because your ability to hear
warnings (shouts, alarms, etc.) is restricted.
Take breaks when you start getting tired or feel‐
ing fatigue – risk of accidents!
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight conditions
and only when visibility is good. Proceed with
caution, do not put others in danger.
Use your power tool only for those applications
described in the KombiTool User Manual.
The power tool generates toxic
exhaust fumes as soon as the engine
is running. These gases may be odor‐
less and invisible and may contain
unburned hydrocarbons and ben‐
zene. Never run the engine indoors or
in poorly ventilated locations, even if
your model is equipped with a cata‐
lytic converter.
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury from
breathing toxic fumes, ensure proper ventilation
when working in trenches, hollows or other con‐
fined locations.
Stop work immediately if you start suffering from
nausea, headaches, impaired vision (e.g. your
field of vision gets smaller), impaired hearing,
dizziness, or impaired concentration – these
symptoms may possibly be the result of too-high
exhaust gas concentration – Risk of accidents!
Operate your power tool so that it produces a
minimum of noise and emissions – do not run the
engine unnecessarily, accelerate the engine only
when working.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not smoke while
operating or standing near your power tool. Com‐
bustible fuel vapor may escape from the fuel sys‐
tem.
Dust, fumes and smoke produced while working
may be hazardous to health. Wear a suitable
respirator in dusty or smoky conditions.
If your power tool is subjected to unusually high
loads for which it was not designed (e.g., heavy
impact or a fall), always check that it is in good
condition before continuing work. See also
"Before Starting". Check in particular that the fuel
