3 Safety Precautions and Working Techniques
Therefore, some changes, modifications and improvements may not be covered in this man- ual.
3 Safety Precautions and Working Techniques
Special safety precautions must be observed when working with a power tool.
Always read and and make sure you understand both instruction manuals (KombiMotor and KombiTool) before using your power tool for the first time and keep them in a safe place for future reference. Non-observance of the safety precautions may result in serious or even fatal injury.
Observe all applicable local safety regulations, standards and ordinances.
If you have not used this type of power tool before: Have your dealer or other experienced user show you how it is operated or attend a special course in its operation.
Minors should never be allowed to use a power tool.
Keep bystanders, especially children, and ani- mals away from the work area.
When the power tool is not in use, shut it off so that it does not endanger others. Secure it against unauthorized use.
The user is responsible for avoiding injury to third parties or damage to their property.
Lend or rent your power tool only to persons who are familiar with this model and its operation ­ do not lend your power tool without the KombiMotor and KombiTool instruction manuals.
The use of noise emitting power tools may be restricted to certain times by national or local regulations.
To operate the power tool you must be rested, in good physical condition and mental health.
If you have any condition that might be aggrava- ted by strenuous work, check with your doctor before operating a power tool.
Persons with pacemakers only: The ignition sys- tem of your power tool produces an electromag- netic field of a very low intensity. This field may interfere with some pacemakers. STIHL recom- mends that persons with pacemakers consult

English
their physician and the pacemaker manufacturer to reduce any health risk.
Do not operate the power tool if you are under the influence of any substance (drugs, alcohol) which might impair vision, dexterity or judgment.
Use your power tool only for the applications described in the instruction manual of the Kombi- Tool you are using.
Do not use your power tool for any other purpose because of the increased risk of accidents.
Do not operate the KombiEngine without a prop- erly mounted KombiTool since this may result in damage to the machine.
Only use KombiTools and accessories that are explicitly approved for this power tool by STIHL or are technically identical. It is important that you read the chapter on "Approved KombiTools". If you have any questions in this respect, consult a servicing dealer. Use only high quality tools and accessories in order to avoid the risk of acci- dents and damage to the machine.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine STIHL tools and accessories. They are specifically designed to match the product and meet your performance requirements.
Never attempt to modify your power tool in any way since this may increase the risk of personal injury. STIHL excludes all liability for personal injury and damage to property caused while using unauthorized attachments.
Do not use a pressure washer to clean your power tool. The solid jet of water may damage parts of the power tool.
3.1 Clothing and Equipment
Wear proper protective clothing and equipment. Avoid clothing that could get caught on branches or brush or moving parts of the machine. Do not wear a scarf, necktie or jewelry. Tie up long hair so that it is above shoulder level.

3.2 Transporting the Power Tool
Always shut off the engine. Transporting by vehicle: Properly secure your power tool to prevent turnover, fuel spillage and damage. See also notes on "Transporting the Machine" in the instruction manual of the KombiTool you are using.
3.3 Fueling
Gasoline is an extremely flammable fuel. Keep clear of naked flames. Do not spill any fuel ­ do not smoke.
Always shut off the engine before refueling. Do not fuel a hot engine ­ fuel may spill and cause a fire. Open the fuel cap carefully to allow any pressure build-up in the tank to release slowly and avoid fuel spillage. Fuel your power tool only in well-ventilated areas. If you spill fuel, wipe the machine immedi- ately ­ if fuel gets on your clothing, change immediately.
After fueling, tighten down the fuel tank cap as securely as possible.
This reduces the risk of unit vibrations causing the fuel cap to loosen or come off and spill quan- tities of fuel. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal burn inju- ries, check for fuel leakage. If fuel leak is found, do not start the engine.
3.4 Before Starting
Check that your power tool is properly assem- bled and in good condition ­ refer to appropriate chapters in the instruction manuals.

3 Safety Precautions and Working Techniques
­ Check the fuel system for leaks, paying spe- cial attention to visible parts such as the tank cap, hose connections and the manual fuel pump (on machines so equipped). If there are any leaks or damage, do not start the engine ­ risk of fire. Have your machine repaired by a servicing dealer before using it again.
­ Use only an approved combination of cutting attachment, deflector, handle and harness. All parts must be assembled properly and securely.
­ The stop switch must move freely. ­ Smooth action of choke knob, throttle trigger
lockout and throttle trigger ­ the throttle trigger must return automatically to the idle position. The choke knob must spring back from the g position to the run position F when the throttle trigger lockout and throttle trigger are squeezed. ­ Check that the spark plug boot is secure ­ a loose boot may cause arcing that could ignite combustible fumes and cause a fire. ­ Never attempt to modify the controls or safety devices in any way. ­ Keep the handles dry and clean ­ free from oil and dirt ­ for safe control of the power tool. ­ Adjust harness and handle to suit your height and reach.
To reduce the risk of accidents, operate your power tool only if it is in a safe condition.
If you use a shoulder strap or full harness: Prac- tice removing and putting down the machine as you would in an emergency. To avoid damage, do not throw the machine to the ground when practicing.
See also notes on "Before Starting" in the instruction manual of the KombiTool you are using.
3.5 Starting the Engine
Start the engine at least 3 meters from the fuel- ing spot, outdoors only.
Place the unit on firm ground in an open area. Make sure you have good balance and secure footing. Hold the unit 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
0458-467-8321-C

3 Safety Precautions and Working Techniques
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 combus- tible materials (e.g. wood chips, bark, dry grass, fuel). See also notes on "Starting / Stopping the Engine" in the instruction manual of the Kombi- Tool you are using.
3.6 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.
Left hand on loop handle, right hand on control handle, even if you are left-handed. On the HTKM KombiTool, use the handle hose as the left handle.
3.7 During Operation
In the event of impending danger or in an emer- gency, 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 regu- larly. If the attachment continues to run when the engine is idling, have your dealer check the machine and make proper adjustments or repairs. STIHL recommends an authorized STIHL servicing dealer.
0458-467-8321-C

English
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 col- orless and odorless and contain unburned hydrocarbons and ben- zene. Never operate the power tool in enclosed or poorly ventilated loca- tions.
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury from breathing toxic fumes, ensure proper ventilation when working in trenches, hollows or other con- fined locations.
To reduce the risk of accidents, stop work imme- diately in the event of nausea, headache, visual disturbances (e.g. reduced field of vision), prob- lems with hearing, dizziness, deterioration in abil- ity to concentrate. Apart from other possibilities, these symptoms may be caused by an exces- sively 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.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not smoke while operating or standing near your power tool. Note that combustible fuel vapor may escape from the fuel system.
The dusts, vapor and smoke produced during operation may be dangerous to health. Wear a suitable respirator in very dusty or smoky condi- tions.
If your power tool is subjected to unusually high loads for which it was not designed (e.g. heavy impact or a fall), always check that it is in good condition before continuing work ­ see also "Before Starting".
Check the fuel system in particular for leaks and make sure the safety devices are working prop- erly. Do not continue operating your power tool if it is damaged. In case of doubt, consult your servicing dealer.

4 Approved KombiTools

Before leaving the power tool unattended: Shut off the engine.
To reduce the risk of injury, always shut off the engine before changing the KombiTool or attach- ment.
3.8 Vibrations
Prolonged use of the power tool may result in vibration-induced circulation problems in the hands (whitefinger disease).

disconnect the spark plug boot before performing any repairs, maintenance or cleaning work. ­ Exception: Carburetor and idle speed adjust- ments.
Do not turn the engine over on the starter with the spark plug boot or spark plug removed since there is otherwise a risk of fire from uncontained sparking.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not service or store your machine near open flames.

No general recommendation can be given for the length of usage because it depends on several factors.
The period of usage is prolonged by: ­ Hand protection (wearing warm gloves) ­ Work breaks
The period of usage is shortened by: ­ Any personal tendency to suffer from poor cir-
culation (symptoms: frequently cold fingers, tingling sensations). ­ Low outside temperatures. ­ The force with which the handles are held (a tight grip restricts circulation).
Continual and regular users should monitor closely the condition of their hands and fingers. If any of the above symptoms appear (e.g. tingling sensation in fingers), seek medical advice.

Check the fuel filler cap for leaks at regular inter- vals.
Use only a spark plug of the type approved by STIHL and make sure it is in good condition ­ see "Specifications".
Inspect the ignition lead (insulation in good con- dition, secure connection).
Check the condition of the muffler.
To reduce the risk of fire and damage to hearing, do not operate your machine if the muffler is damaged or missing. ­
Do not touch a hot muffler since burn injury will result.
Vibration behavior is influenced by the condition of the AV elements ­ check the AV elements at regular intervals.

3.9 Maintenance and Repairs
Service the machine regularly. Do not attempt any maintenance or repair work not described in the instruction manual. Have all other work per- formed by a servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends that you have servicing and repair work carried out exclusively by an author- ized STIHL servicing dealer. STIHL dealers are regularly given the opportunity to attend training courses and are supplied with the necessary technical information.
Only use high-quality replacement parts in order to avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine. If you have any questions in this respect, consult a servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends the use of original STIHL replacement parts. They are specifically designed to match your model and meet your performance requirements.
To reduce the risk of injury from unintentional engine startup, always shut off the engine and

6.1 STIHL MotoMix
STIHL recommends using STIHL MotoMix. This pre-blended fuel is free of benzene and lead, is distinguished by a high octane rating, and always provides the proper mixing ratio.
STIHL MotoMix uses STIHL HP Ultra two-stroke engine oil for optimum engine life.
MotoMix is not available in all markets.
6.2 Mixing fuel
NOTICE
Unsuitable fuels or a mixing ratio that deviates from the specification can lead to severe engine damage. The engine, seals, fuel lines and fuel tank may be damaged if low-quality gasoline or engine oil is used.
6.2.1 Gasoline
Use only high-quality gasoline with an octane rat- ing of at least 90 ROC ­ leaded or unleaded.
Gasoline with an alcohol component exceeding 10% can cause impaired engine performance in engines with manually adjustable carburetors and thus should not be used in these engines.
Engines with M-Tronic deliver full engine per- formance using gasoline with an alcohol compo- nent of up to 27% (E27).
6.2.2 Engine oil
If you mix the fuel yourself, use only STIHL twostroke engine oil or another high-performance engine oil classified as JASO FB, JASO FC, JASO FD, ISO-L-EGB, ISO-L-EGC or ISO-LEGD.
STIHL specifies STIHL HP Ultra two-stroke engine oil or an equivalent high-performance engine oil in order to maintain emission limits over the machine's service life.

9 Operating Instructions
9.1 During break-in period
A factory-new machine should not be run at high revs (full throttle off load) for the first three tank fillings. This avoids unnecessary high loads dur- ing the break-in period. As all moving parts have to bed in during the break-in period, the frictional resistances in the engine are greater during this period. The engine develops its maximum power after about 5 to 15 tank fillings.

0458-467-8321-C

English
9.2 During Operation
After a long period of full throttle operation, allow the engine to run for a short while at idle speed so that engine heat can be dissipated by the flow of cooling air. This protects engine-mounted components (ignition, carburetor) from thermal overload.
9.3 After Finishing Work
Storing for a short period: Wait for the engine to cool down. Empty the fuel tank and keep the machine in a dry place, well away from sources of ignition, until you need it again. For longer outof-service periods ­ see "Storing the Machine".
