Check grease level regularly, about
every 25 hours of operation.

N
grease can be seen on the inside of
the filler plug, screw the tube (2) of
STIHL gear lubricant for
brushcutters – see "Special
Accessories" – into the filler hole.
Squeeze up to 5 g grease into the
N
gearbox.
NOTICE
Do not completely fill the gearbox with

Storing the Machine

For periods of 3 months or longer
Remove, clean and inspect the
N
cutting blade.
If the KombiTool is removed from
N
the KombiEngine and stored
separately: Fit the protective cap on
the drive tube to avoid dirt getting
into the coupling.
Store the machine in a dry, high or
N
locked location – out of the reach of
children and other unauthorized
persons.

Replacing the Depth Wheel

Have a worn depth wheel replaced by a
servicing dealer. STIHL recommends
that you have servicing and repair work
carried out exclusively by an authorized
STIHL servicing dealer.

The end of the thread on the
N
screw (1) is caulked to ensure that
the wingnut (2) does not work loose
and be lost.
A very high torque has to be applied to
remove the wingnut from the screw. If
the parts are then reassembled, the
captive function is no longer
guaranteed. In such a case have the
screw and wingnut replaced by a
servicing dealer.
