Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Special safety precautions must be
observed when working with a power
tool.
Always read and and make sure you
understand both instruction manuals
(KombiAttachmentEngine and power
tool attachment) before using your
power tool for the first time and keep
them in a safe place for future refer‐
ence. Non-observance of the safety
precautions may result in serious or
even fatal injury.
Observe all applicable local safety regulations,
standards and ordinances.
If you have not used this type of power tool
before: Have your dealer or other experienced
user show you how to operate your machine or
attend a special course in its operation.
Minors should never be allowed to use this prod‐
uct.
Keep bystanders, especially children, and ani‐
mals away from the work area.
0458-516-0121-B
When the power tool is not in use, shut it off so
that it does not endanger others. Secure it
against unauthorized use.
The user is responsible for avoiding injury to third
parties or damage to their property.
Lend or rent your machine only to persons who
are familiar with this model and its operation – do
not lend of rent your machine without the instruc‐
tion manuals of the KombiAttachmentEngine and
power tool attachment.
The use of noise emitting power tools may be
restricted to certain times by national or local
regulations.
To operate the power tool you must be rested, in
good physical condition and mental health.
If you have any condition that might be aggrava‐
ted by strenuous work, check with your doctor
before operating a power tool.
Persons with pacemakers only: The ignition sys‐
tem of your power tool produces an electromag‐
netic field of a very low intensity. This field may
interfere with some pacemakers. STIHL recom‐
mends that persons with pacemakers consult
their physician and the pacemaker manufacturer
to reduce any health risk.
Do not operate the power tool if you are under
the influence of any substance (drugs, alcohol)
which might impair vision, dexterity or judgment.
Use your power tool only for the applications
described in the instruction manual of the power
tool attachment you are using.
It must not be used for any other purpose
because of the increased risk of accidents and
damage to the machine. Never attempt to modify
your power tool in any way since this may result
in accidents or damage to the machine.
Do not operate the KombiAttachmentEngine
without a properly mounted power tool attach‐
ment since this may result in damage to the
machine.
Only mount attachments and accessories that
are explicitly approved for this power tool by
STIHL or are technically identical. It is important
that you read the chapter on "Approved Attach‐
ments". If you have any questions in this respect,
consult a servicing dealer. Use only high quality
tools and accessories in order to avoid the risk of
accidents and damage to the machine.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine STIHL
tools and accessories. They are specifically
