Stihl KM 94 R Instruction Manual page 7

securely. The attachment must be clear
of the ground and all other obstructions
because it may begin to run when the
engine starts.
To reduce the risk of injury, avoid
contact with the attachment.
Do not drop start the power tool – start
the engine as described in the
instruction manual. Note that the
attachment continues to run for a short
period after you let go of the throttle
trigger – flywheel effect.
Check idle speed setting: The
attachment must be stationary when the
engine is idling with the throttle trigger
released.
To reduce the risk of fire, keep hot
exhaust gases and hot muffler away
from easily combustible materials (e.g.
wood chips, bark, dry grass, fuel).
See also notes on "Starting / Stopping
the Engine" in the instruction manual of
the KombiTool you are using.
Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
Always hold the power tool firmly with
both hands on the handles.
Make sure you always have good
balance and secure footing.
KM 94 R
Left hand on loop handle, right hand on
control handle, even if you are left-
handed.
On the HT-KM KombiTool, use the
handle hose as the left handle.
During Operation
In the event of impending danger or in
an emergency, switch off the engine
immediately – move the stop switch in
the direction of 0.
The correct engine idle speed is
important to ensure that the attachment
stops moving when you let go of the
throttle trigger.
Check and correct the idle speed setting
regularly. If the attachment continues to
move when the engine is idling, have
your dealer check the machine and
make proper adjustments or repairs.
STIHL recommends an authorized
STIHL servicing dealer.
Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
To reduce the risk of accidents, take a
break in good time to avoid tiredness or
exhaustion.
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight
conditions and only when visibility is
good. Stay alert so as not to endanger
others.
Use your power tool only for those
applications described in the KombiTool
instruction manual.
Your power tool produces
toxic exhaust fumes as
soon as the engine is
running. These fumes
may be colorless and
odorless and contain
unburned hydrocarbons
and benzol. Never oper-
ate the power tool in
enclosed or poorly venti-
lated locations.
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal
injury from breathing toxic fumes,
ensure proper ventilation when working
in trenches, hollows or other confined
locations.
To reduce the risk of accidents, stop
work immediately in the event of
nausea, headache, visual disturbances
(e.g. reduced field of vision), problems
with hearing, dizziness, deterioration in
ability to concentrate. Apart from other
possibilities, these symptoms may be
caused by an excessively high
concentration of exhaust gases in the
work area.
Operate your power tool so that it
produces a minimum of noise and
emissions – do not run the engine
unnecessarily, accelerate the engine
only when working.
