Minimize Wear and Avoid
Damage
Observing the instructions in this manual
and the KombiEngine manual helps
reduce the risk of unnecessary wear and
damage to the power tool.
The power tool must be operated,
maintained and stored with the due care
and attention described in these
instruction manuals.
The user is responsible for all damage
caused by non-observance of the safety
precautions, operating and maintenance
instructions. This includes in particular:
Alterations or modifications to the
–
product not approved by STIHL.
Using tools or accessories which
–
are neither approved or suitable for
the product or are of a poor quality.
Using the product for purposes for
–
which it was not designed.

Consequential damage caused by
–
continuing to use the product with
defective components.
Maintenance Work
All the operations described in the
"Maintenance Chart" and "Inspection
and Maintenance by User" must be
performed on a regular basis. If these
maintenance operations cannot be
performed by the owner, they should be
performed by a servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends that you have
servicing and repair work carried out
exclusively by an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer. STIHL dealers are
regularly given the opportunity to attend
training courses and are supplied with
the necessary technical information.
If these maintenance operations are not
carried out as specified, the user
assumes responsibility for any damage
that may occur. Among other things,
this includes:
Corrosion and other consequential
–
damage resulting from improper
storage.
Damage to the product resulting
–
from the use of poor quality
replacement parts.
Parts Subject to Wear and Tear
Some parts of the power tool, e.g. the
rakes and the drive and mounting
components of the rakes and tines
(connectors, pins, etc.), are subject to
normal wear and tear even during
regular operation in accordance with
instructions and, depending on the type
and duration of use, have to be replaced
in good time.
