Proper Clothing
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury, the operator
should wear proper protective apparel.
!
Warning!
The deflector provided with your
KombiTool may not protect the operator
from all foreign objects (gravel, glass,
wire, etc.) thrown by the rotating cutting
attachment. Thrown objects may also
ricochet and strike the operator.
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury
to your eyes never
operate an edger unless
wearing goggles or
properly fitted safety
glasses with adequate top
and side protection complying with
ANSI Z 87.1 (or your applicable national
standard). To reduce the risk of injury to
your face STIHL recommends that you
also wear a face shield or face screen
over your goggles or safety glasses.

Warning!
Edger noise may damage
your hearing. Wear sound
barriers (ear plugs or ear
mufflers) to protect your
hearing. Continual and
regular users should have
their hearing checked regularly.
Protect your hands with
gloves when handling the
power tool and the cutting
attachment. Heavy-duty,
nonslip gloves improve
your grip and protect your
hands.
Clothing must be sturdy
and snug-fitting, but allow
complete freedom of
movement.
Avoid loose-fitting
jackets, scarfs, neckties,
jewelry, flared or cuffed
pants, unconfined long
hair or anything that could
become caught on
branches, brush or moving parts of the
unit.
English / USA
Wear long pants made of heavy material
to protect your legs. Do not wear shorts,
pants, sandals or go bare foot. Secure
hair so it is above shoulder level.
Good footing is most
important in edger work.
Wear sturdy boots with
nonslip soles. Steel-toed
safety boots are
recommended.
Wear an approved safety
hard hat to reduce the risk
of injury to your head
when there is a danger of
head injuries.

Warning!
Never modify a KombiTool in any way.
Only attachments supplied by STIHL or

unauthorized attachments may be
useable on the STIHL power tool, their
use may, in fact, be extremely
dangerous.
