KombiSystem

+
+
In the STIHL KombiSystem a number of
different KombiEngines and KombiTools
can be combined to produce a power
tool. In this instruction manual the
functional unit formed by the
KombiEngine and KombiTool is referred
to as the power tool.
Therefore, the separate instruction
manuals for the KombiEngine and
KombiTool should be used together for
the power tool.
Always read and and make sure you
understand both instruction manuals
before using your power tool for the first
time and keep them in a safe place for
future reference.

Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Because a power scythe
is a high-speed, fast-cut-
ting power tool with very
sharp cutting blades and
a long reach, special
safety precautions must
be observed during
operation.
Always read and and
make sure you under-
stand both instruction
manuals (KombiEngine
and KombiTool) before
using your power tool for
the first time and keep
them in a safe place for
future reference. Non-
observance of the safety
precautions may result in
serious or even fatal
injury.
Lend or rent your power tool only to
persons who are familiar with this model
and its operation – do not lend your
power tool without the KombiEngine and
KombiTool instruction manuals.
Use your power scythe only for cutting
grass, scrub, shrubs, thicket, bushes
and similar materials.
Do not use your power tool for any other
purpose because of the increased risk of
accidents.
Only use cutting blades and accessories
that are explicitly approved for this
power tool by STIHL or are technically
identical. If you have any questions in
this respect, consult a servicing dealer.
