Instruction Manual

For specific starting instructions, see the
appropriate section of your
KombiEngine and KombiTool manuals.
Place the power tool on firm ground or
other solid surface in an open area.
Maintain good balance and secure
footing.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control, be absolutely sure that the
working tool is clear of you and all other
obstructions and objects, including the
ground, because when the engine starts
at starting-throttle, engine speed will be
fast enough for the clutch to engage and
move the working tool.
Once the engine has started,
immediately blip the throttle trigger or
choke knob, which should release the
starting throttle and allow the engine to
slow down to idle.
WARNING
Your power tool is a one-person
machine. Do not allow other persons in
the general work area, even when
starting.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control, do not attempt to "drop start"
your power tool.
WARNING
When you pull the starter grip, do not
wrap the starter rope around your hand.
Do not let the grip snap back, but guide
the starter rope to rewind it properly.
Failure to follow this procedure may
result in injury to your hand or fingers
and may damage the starter
mechanism.
See also the safety precautions on
Starting in the instruction manual of the
KombiTool.
Important Adjustments
WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal injury
from loss of control or contact with the
running working tool, do not use a power
tool with incorrect idle adjustment. At
correct idle speed, the working tool
should not move. For directions on how
to adjust idle speed, see the appropriate
section of your instruction manual.
If you cannot set the correct idle speed,
have your STIHL dealer check your
power tool and make proper
adjustments and repairs.
WARNING
This unit is equipped with an ignition
system that is normally in operational
readiness. After the momentary stop
switch is used to stop the engine, it
automatically springs back to the "on"
position. If the engine is warm, it may be
possible to start it by simply pulling the
starter rope, with no further adjustments.
To reduce the risk of injury, be
particularly alert to keep children away
from the unit.
During Operation
Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
Always hold the unit firmly with both
hands on the handles while you are
working. Wrap your fingers and thumbs
around the handles.
Your right hand should grip the rear
handle. This also applies to left-handers.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control, never work on a ladder or on any
other insecure support.
Working Conditions
Operate and start your power tool only
outdoors in a well ventilated area.
Operate it under good visibility and
daylight conditions only. Work carefully.
