English KombiSystem Guide to Using this Manual Pictograms All the pictograms attached to the machine are shown and explained in this manual. + Symbols in text WARNING .. .. 002BA530 KN + Warning where there is a risk of an accident or personal injury or serious damage to property. In the STIHL KombiSystem a number of different KombiEngines and KombiTools can be combined to produce a power tool.
English STIHL recommends the use of genuine STIHL tools and accessories. They are specifically designed to match the product and meet your performance requirements. The deflector on this power edger cannot protect the operator from all objects thrown by the cutting blade (stones, glass, wire, etc.). Such objects may ricochet and then hit the operator. Never attempt to modify your machine in any way since this may increase the risk of personal injury.
English Before Starting Models with loop handle Blade correctly and securely mounted and in good condition (clean, move freely, not warped). – Inspect the deflectors for damage and wear. Do not operate the machine with a damaged deflector – replace damaged parts. – Never attempt to modify the controls or safety devices – work only with a properly mounted deflector. – Keep the handles dry and clean – free from oil and dirt – for safe control of the power tool.
English Take special care in slippery conditions (ice, wet ground, snow), on slopes or uneven ground. Watch out for obstacles: Roots and tree stumps which could cause you to trip or stumble. Inspect the work area: Stones, pieces of metal or other solid objects may be thrown more than 15 meters and cause personal injury or damage the cutting attachment and property (e.g. parked vehicles, windows).
English Do not use grease solvents for cleaning. Cutting attachments and deflectors Using the Unit After thoroughly cleaning, coat surface of metal cutting attachments with a corrosion inhibitor. STIHL recommends that you have servicing and repair work carried out exclusively by an authorized STIHL servicing dealer.
